Think Good Thoughts

A man is capable of  "thinking himself" into anger, depression, jealousy, lusting and frustration.  The five aforementioned are not usually positive or beneficial.   So, what is the solution?  It is simple.  Or, it is difficult.  It depends on two main factors.   They are the following.  1)  How serious one is about their cessation.  2)  Is one willing to do what it takes to overcome them?  Let us assume you are serious and willing.  Here is the solution:  Think good thoughts.  Train yourself to think good thoughts.  Does it sound simplistic?  Maybe.  Does it sound difficult?  Maybe.  Is it a good idea?  Of course it is.  And I do not mean "maybe."  Someone, long before we ever existed, shared it with us.  His ideas are the best.  "For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he."  (Prov. 23:7 a)  In other words we are being told: We are what we think about.  No, we are not necessarily what/who we think we are, that is a different concept.   As stated, we are what we think about.  So, what do we do about it?  Think good thoughts.
