You! Think!!!

Jennifred Jones

So often we are told what to think instead of being encouraged to think!

You have been given a good sound mind. You have many, many good ideas and plans inside of you waiting to be thought about and brought to pass.

Are we afraid of ourselves? Afraid to let our mind wander into new dimensions different than what we’re accustomed to?

I’m not talking about freaky-stuff thinking, but sometime just turn off the TV, the uTube, and let your own mind think something good, something you would like to think about but were maybe afraid to think into…

Sometimes, I fall for the trap where I get so involved in what other people are saying about a particular area of interest, that I stop thinking for myself… how to solve it, how to make it better… and instead listen to everyone else’s thoughts. Then my mind gets all frazzled what to do. I have to stop, and come out of that cloud into the clearing of my own thoughts.

We let ourselves develop patterns of behavior by allowing other sources to tell us what we should be thinking, what we should be doing, how to spend our time…what if we want to think and do something differently?

It is not wrong to think differently, to have a new idea, to want something apart from the status quo, to question what you’re doing or being told to do. That is part of our individual God-given autonomy.

Many great thinkers have turned into great doers.

The other side of the ‘thinking coin’ is some/too many are afraid of letting others think or voice their opinions/ideas. They fear change, loss of control, power, prestige. Their own insecurities try to quell the impact of another. Don’t give them that right over you.

What have I wanted to think about, but didn’t because I was afraid, or didn’t think I could, or should, or somebody might not approve?

Chart your course, begin to think for yourself again!

Life-4

The other day we mentioned the commonality of negative talk. What if instead we bond in commonality with positive talk.

Basically, we all want to belong, we like to be in agreement with others; what if we use positive, helpful, good ideas and plans to be our common ground. This gives us something to build instead of tear down.

We are made to think and create and build. When we do we feel better. There is a satisfaction that cannot be attained any other way than by accomplishing something worthwhile…not only in the building, but later looking back and remembering the process and progress as we built whatever it was.  This building can be a relationship, a business, a project, an idea… Let your mind dream up whatever it wants to that can be developed to further the good of you, of humanity, of the world.

We want the freedom to think our own thoughts and do what we are inclined to instead of being told what we should like and do. We seek that personal empowerment. There is plenty of space for each person to have their own ways and means for advancing life for their and another’s good.

The first step is believing you can. Then that you are able. Then talk about it and begin.

It all starts with a positive idea mixed with other people thinking in common to produce something good and perhaps uncommon!

Let the good talk flow….

Choose Life

Jennifred Jones

What’s that mean anyway?…been hearing this alot lately…

Here are some ways to interpret it:

Thinking, saying, doing, picking anything that will advance you or the other person into a better, stronger individual…physically, mentally, emotionally.

Therefore:

*We take walks to retain our muscle tone

*We eat nourishing foods

*We read/watch inspiring material

*We think noble thoughts

*We build others up

*We pick wholesome friends

If we do these things, we will:

*Have strong healthy bodies

*Have good sound minds

*Have solid relationships

*Have value for others

*We will have life!

Will we do it?

*Choose it! *Decide to! *Choose it today!
