A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he..."  Proverbs 23:7 NKJV

A Penny?  For my thoughts!?
Nine times out of ten, this exchange would provoke lots of STRESS. As insulting as this proposition may seem, truth is, there are those who value their thoughts much less than what they're worth. 
 
Actually, we reveal how we think by what we do--and the stressful ways we do it. Our actions are authentic indications of our thoughts. In other words, we act according to how we think. 

Ever noticed how positive thinking leads to pleasant lives; and stinkin' thinking leads to stressful lives?

Stress survivors seriously take heed to awesome insights like . . .  Our thoughts determine our attitudes, our attitudes determine our actions, and our actions determine our lives. 

  
Through senseless stress, trial and error, we're learning to monitor our thought patterns and apply tried-and-true wisdom, so that we may edify our lives by the power of our thoughts.

When we render our thoughts toward positive people, places, and things, and refrain from entertaining negatives and nonsense, we'll experience a remarkable reduction of stress. 

As we've been told many times before, "We are the MASTERS of our own thoughts. And if we intend to live the lives we love, we must start thinking thoughts that lead in those directions. 


Peace I leave with you . . .
