No one can afford the high cost of self pity and being miserable. We need to exercise our minds as regularly as we do our bodies. As the saying goes, "Garbage In, garbage out!"
Paul says, "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men." Acts 24:16
How can we accomplish this seemingly impossible feat? By exercising the mind to think right thoughts:
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
"whatsoever things are honest,
"whatsoever things are just,
"whatsoever things are pure,
"whatsoever things are lovely,
"whatsoever things are of good report;
"if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
"think on these things." Philippians 4:8
So breathe deeply -- and remember:
In with the right thoughts,
Out with the bad!
In with the right thoughts,
Out with the bad!
