Watch What You're Thinking!

Proverbs 3:27 states, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." 19th century Danish philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard, seemed to share the same sentiment when he penned, “our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.” More up-to-date, but still to-the-point is Earl Nightingale, who wrote: “you become what you think about most.” So, the take away for me is watch what you‘re thinking!
Several years ago, I read the following on the Air Force Academy web site:
“Watch your thoughts,
They become your words;
Watch your words,
They become your actions;
Watch your actions,
They become your habits;
Watch your habits,
They become your character;
Watch your character,
It becomes your destiny.” (Author Unknown)
Similar theme, right? Right! It must be important! Then, I remembered this from the Apostle Paul: “finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8 NIV)
Okay, I think I’ll need to let this soak in for awhile. Then, I’ll need to act accordingly. What about you and your dominant thoughts? Where are they taking you?
