ON-PURPOSE THINKING

It’s amazing how much negative thinking can affect you. It steals your joy. It makes you grumpy. It makes you moody. It makes people feel uncomfortable around you. When your thoughts are negative, everything about you becomes negative. This makes it almost impossible for you to be happy. As a matter of fact, most unhappy people are people who have negative thinking. They fix their minds more on what’s wrong rather than what’s right.

“They probably do no realize they could be happy if they would simply change the way they think. We must stop merely WAITING for something good to happen and take action to ensure that something good will happen.” ~ Joyce Meyer

The good news is you don’t have to be unhappy. You can do something about it. You can start by doing what’s called ‘On-Purpose Thinking’. ‘On-Purpose Thinking’ is when you purposefully think good thoughts. It’s when you intentionally make wise decisions. It’s when you plan to think positive.

“We do not have to meditate on everything that pops into our minds; we can choose what we want to think about. We can choose power-enhancing thoughts – not power-draining thoughts.”
~ Joyce Meyer

In the 4th chapter of Joyce Meyer’s book ‘Power Thoughts’ she explains three keys to On-Purpose Thinking (pg. 56-63).
1. Set Your Mind and Keep It Set.

“And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.” Colossians 3:2 AMP

2. Renew Your Mind.

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
Romans 12:2 NLT

3. ‘Gird Up’ Your Mind.

“Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;” 1 Peter 1:13

Follow these steps and don’t allow yourself to get distracted. Stay focused. Stay on course. Have some ‘Think Sessions’ where you make time every day to think GREATNESS. Think on purpose.
