Thankful!

[Lonely in SLC]

I work in sales, and having a positive attitude is essential to making a living. I had read many books about this topic, and learned to apply them in my personal life.

I read somewhere that the mind is like a fertile field. What is planted will grow, and it does not care what is planted. Negative thoughts are like weeds, there is little work to be done for them to flourish. On the other hand, I nice garden takes hard work, time, and patience.

I began to gather quotes on the importance of controlling what thoughts take root in our minds, because this will eventually lead our lives.

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind…” William James

“A man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.” Marcus Arelius
“If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Jesus Mark 9:23

“If you think in negative terms, you will get negative results. If you think in positive terms, you will get positive results.” Dr. Norman Vincent

So after reading all of this, I set myself a GOAL to think positively.
