What Am I?

I can make you rise or fall.
I can work for you or against you.
I can make you a success or a failure.
I control the way that you feel and the way that you act.
I can make you laugh . . . work . . . . love.
I can make your heart sing
with joy . . . excitement . . . elation.

Or

I can make you wretched . . . dejected . . . morbid.
I can make you sick . . . listless.
I can be as a shackle . . . heavy . . . attached
. . . burdensome.

Or

I can be nurtured and grown to be great and beautiful
. . . seen by the eyes of others through action in you
I can never be removed . . . only replaced.
I am a THOUGHT.
Why not know me better?
…by Bob Conklin

“Every thought you have shapes your life.
The sum of all your thoughts comprises your overall attitude.”
John Maxwell pg. 11 The Difference Maker

Women, we have the power of choice. We can choose to entertain or decline the thoughts that come to our minds. The choices we make will shape our attitudes, actions and our lives while negatively impacting others. Let's not abuse or misuse this power but use it to replace the negative, critical, self-deprecating, defeating, paranoid thoughts with ones worthy of who we are in Christ. What are your thoughts?
