things that make you go....

I was driving home the other night and passed the fair grounds.  I saw a ton of smoke in the parking lot and saw fire trucks and police out there.  I couldn't see what was on fire.  I didn't think much more about it until the next day.  When I went by in the morning, the parking lot was empty, except for this burnt out car.  Then I started to think.  Funny how the oddest things make you take one situation and apply it to others.  Anyways, I thought of myself, people in general and everyone on here.  We have been talking a lot about the Secret and positive thinking, etc...

I starting thinking about why did that car start on fire, was it outside forces, or more likely, inside forces.  Probably the cause was bad maintance.  Then, thinking like I do now, I started thinking about us, the human form of that vechicle.  Could bad maintance make us burn out or up, catch fire and then let outside forces extinguish us.  We do this all the time.  We get all excited about something, but without knowing how to properly maintain that thought or program, we let others tell us why not. 

We are what we think about most.  If we guard our thoughts and keep them pure, honest and positive, we can and will be whatever we want to be and do whatever we want.  God has placed these inside us, we just have to get excited and turn on the fire and keep it burning, by talking about it, thinking about it constantly, praying about it, believing in it, and acting on it.  Don't listen to the negitive people, even our good meaning family members and friends.  We can do all things though God. 

I would love to see thoughts about how crazy I am to link these together, or expound on what I said, or your own experiences.  God Bless.

very interesting way to look at it.  but it is true, the negativity can consume us.  we need to stay focused on the positive to keep us going.  thanks!

You know the old saying, "you are what you eat."  Well mine is "You are what you think."  Think good, positve thoughts and you will be that way... think bad... end up that way!

Valerie, It is wierd that my mind turned it into that, but that is how my mind is changing for the positive.  I am learning to look at things differently.  No, thank you.

David,  You are absolutely right there.  Thank you.  Earl

Earl,

Hmm.....I do believe "you are what you eat" and like David stated "you are what you think." And everything happens for a reason...Now you gave us something to think about! :)

Suzanne, How so?  I would love to hear more.  When I started changing myself from the inside out, there started to be a lot of "coincidences" happen.  Maybe my eyes, heart and mind are being opened and I am seeing some things for what they really are, opportunities to learn, grow and enrich myself and others.  This positive thinking is hard to do at first, but is becoming easier.  It is becoming easier to let go the bad thing and to move on and think about the good, or good memories, and fill my thoughts with those.  I am praying more and being thankful throughout the day and talking positive to and about myself and others.  Thank you for the post.
