I CHOOSE GOOD!

Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Chapter 4: Autosuggestion

It can be used for GOOD or BAD.

I have control of my own mind! I Choose Good!

"Recall what has been said about the subconscious mind resembling a fertile garden spot, in which WEEDS will grow in abundance, if the SEEDS of more desirable crops are not sown therein. AUTOSUGGESTION is the agency of control through which an individual may voluntarily FEED his subconscious mind on thoughts of a creative nature, or, by neglect, permit thoughts of a destructive nature to find their way into this rich garden of the mind." (Hill)

I have recently seen the the seed of bitterness grow into hatred, and am seeing the destruction that it is causing in our extended family. I refused to listen to the negativity, so I cut a conversation short. I realize that the people speaking, though loved deeply by Mom and Dad, have said the lies long enough to believe that the opposite is true.

Since I believe that the matter should be left in God's hands and my meddling will not help improve the situation, I will rest in peace. Even though my heart aches, I have faith that God will take care of the matter, because He Says So...

When the children return to communication with us, we will be waiting with open ears to listen and receive them back into fellowship.

The point is: WHATEVER SEED YOU ALLOW TO GROW IN THE FERTILE GARDEN OF YOUR MIND, that is the seed that will produce either GOOD or BAD.

I CHOOSE GOOD!

"Somewhere in your makeup (perhaps in the cells of your brain) there lies, sleeping,THE SEED of ACHIEVEMENT which, if aroused and put into ACTION, would carry you to heights such as you may never have hoped to attain." (Hill)

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS." Philippians 4:8

"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:31-32

Thank you for being KIND and forgiving. Your unconditional love shows us how to have unconditional love for others. (A proven duplicatable love)
