What You Think About Grows

Today is the third anniversary of a day registered by a friend of mine, Stephanie West Allen.

Today is What You Think Upon Grows Day.

This concept is hard to ignore and certainly isn't a new idea - witness Philippians 4:8 "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."

Philosophers and writers have said in different ways through the centuries, and they are all correct.

What we think upon grows.

It isn't so hard.

Think about things you want and desire. Think about abundance not lack. Think about positive things.

Think about love.

Think about peace.

What You Think Upon Grows.

We can apply this in our lives personally, and we can model it with great power.

If I am a leader, how should I think about my team? By focusing on their faults, or by being mindful of their potential?

If I am a trainer, expecting great things from willing learners will get me mucfurtherer than assuming people don't want to be in the workshop.

If I am trying to be more creative, think creative thoughts.

Assume the best of the Customer making the unusual or challenging request, and you will render better service.

I could go on, but you get the idea - think about it.

Happy Anniversary to the day. Thanks Stephanie for making this happen.
