We can focus on the Negative, or the Positive; it’s a CHOICE. God gave us the gift of “freedom of choice,” giving us the right to decide on the Negative or the Positive. I know little about the nuances of negative thoughts. I am wired such that I think positive 99% of the time. When I do think negative, it is almost always regarding the “realities” of life; things to do with health, etc. I consider myself, basically, an athlete, whose sport is the entrepreneurship of business. I’m always in training for the next deal. I go into the process with no intention of losing; develop a plan of action (POA), refine my technique, and move forward, NEVER taking NO for an answer. This is not a difficult process; though it is a bit more involved than being a neighborhood organizer. To succeed in my sport takes years of training, mentoring, risk taking, self-discipline, and lastly, it takes money. To take a single moment away from the positive is tantamount to a race-car driver taking his eye off the wheel, momentarily, risking the entire race, if not his life. While I don’t know much about focusing on “negatives;” what I do know is that it’s a CHOICE; typically made from a position of weakness. If, in any business, there’s a “negative person,” you best get rid of them. In my time at the wheel, I’ve only gotten rid of a very small number of negative people, and the reason is; I focus on “saving” the negative person; using the rule of two negatives make a positive. Galatians 5:19-21 – Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Blessings…cjlb…2/18/14
