“The strangest secret in the world is that you become what you think about (Earl Nightingale).” 

Lots of times thoughts just pop in my head. Other times, I can think about a problem and not let it go until I have figured out how to resolve it.  These are things that are normal. Between these two types of thinking there is a lot of space to think about things. If I’m thinking about how to accomplish my dreams, about how I can become a better a better person, or how I can contribute to my church and community, my mind is in a good space. If I let my mind ruminate on negative past experiences or regrets, situations that make me angry, or ways to get even, I’m wallowing in the mud. Better to soar among the stars and let our minds play with thoughts that elevate us.
