Keep Positive

 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. (Proverbs 4:23 NLT)

 I made a mistake today, but I’m determined to grow and learn from it. I am not going to allow discouragement and condemnation to drag me down because of this mistake.

 So what if I’m not perfect? I’m fighting for change and growth. I am making progress, because today I’m determining to fight, and today I refuse to quit. I refuse to dwell negatively on myself.

 I’m going to look outward, toward others, toward other needs or needy situations. I will not compare my life negatively with others. Even if I’m not the best at what I do, I can do my personal best in whatever I do.

 And I will do my personal best no matter how I feel about myself or my talents. I may feel like a mess—I may even be a mess—but Jesus promised that there is always strength available to me. I claim that strength for today. —M. Fontaine [1]

Keep your words positive because your words become YOUR BEHAVIOR
Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes YOUR HABITS
Keep your habits positive because your habits become YOUR VALUES
Keep your values positive because your values become YOUR DESTINY” ―Mahatma Gandhi
