What is positive thinking anyway? Are you trying to convince yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to? How’s that working for you. There is much that is out of our control. The key is how we react to the ups and downs in life. We should neither get too high or too low. God is in control. The more control we give Him, the more He takes over and leads us beside still waters when we need rest and gives us courage needed to face tough times. Without trials, how can we learn to overcome? We don’t need success to find peace, but it sure helps! Jesus was the smartest man ever. That’s the mind we need, not trusting only in our worldly knowledge.
