Wrong Thinking v Truth and Hope

At 60, it’s probably a fact that I am about two-thirds of the way through my life here on this earth. Is there a reason I would need to expect to finish out at status quo? I have decided that the answer to that is “No.” It is the negative self-talk that rises up—this kind of stuff:

• Nothing has happened so far. Why do you think you make things any different?
• These are pretty wild goals. What makes you think you can come close to reaching them?
• Money? Why are you aiming for more money? That’ll never happen.
• You are stuck where you are. Nothing can change enough, so why bother?
• Aren’t you supposed to be content? Isn’t that what the Bible says?

Well, I do know for sure that such thinking is not from God. I know it’s not good for taking positive action. So I need to change that thinking.

Reading the Bible is key to recognizing truth. Another area for improvement in 2013.
