Becoming a Person of the Good Report

Sunday May 9, 2010
Speaker:

Phil. 4:8 tells us to think on things of a good report. How do you become a person of good report? #1- Choose to see the good. Choose what to look at and think about, as well as what to remember and what to forget. It’s a matter of choice. #2- If there be any … Any is not a majority. Even in the midst of negatives, find the good. Zero in on the one small thing someone does right. Find out what you have and make that work for you. Look for people looking for solutions. Thank God for any good thing. #3- How you think determines how you feel, and then that creates a force field that attracts related thoughts. Habits determine your routine. Feelings follow your thoughts, so if you change your thinking, you can change your feelings. Positiveness attracts. You can make a difference in people’s lives by being positive. Look for the good in people. Be thankful. Being positive affects you physically. You live longer and affects your brain. Reinforce the positive things in yourself- e-mails, pictures, cards, etc. You reproduce what you are.
