What Do You Think About?

What do you think about most of the time? What is it that is always on your mind? What do you imagine yourself doing and accomplishing when you daydream while on a long drive? Do you have it....be honest....what do you think about most of the time?

I am currently reading the 10 Rules Of Sam Walton by Michael Bergdhal. Michael was a longtime friend and executive with Sam in the corporate offices of Wal-mart. In one chapter of this book he talks about what Earl Nightingale calls the Strangest Secret to success in life and business.

Do you know what they say the secret to you achieving success in life and business is? The key to being successful at whatever you want to accomplish in life is ...."What you think about most of the time is what you become."

Think about it.....that which consumes your mind will consume you. If you think about being a successful student, athlete, business person, guitar player or whatever ...then you will reorient your whole life to doing it. This thing that dominates your thinking is where you will put your time, energy, resources and even free time into achieving. The problem with many of us is that we spend our time thinking about one thing....which is what we are truly becoming, but verbally and physically we head in a different direction. This leads to frustration in life....and one that is not successful. However, if we recognize what it is that we truly think/dream about and then match that with our actions....we can become more successfull.

What do you think about the most? Some of us need to change our thinking....some of us have become addicts over certain things that are at worst very harmful and at best are just a waste of our time. It is all we think about......it is what we are becoming.

It is no wonder that in today's Bible reading in Romans Chapter 10 Paul tells the people that his heart's desires is that people come to Christ. Bar none....that is what Paul thought about all the time. That was the topic of his conversations. He was successful at reaching those who were lost because he re-oriented his life around that which he thought about the most.
