Some days I wake up in the morning and everything is smooth sailing . The day goes by fast , the kids are well behaved , breakfast , lunch and dinner moves fast , they play themselves down and bath time comes and they go right to sleep . And then there is Thursday. I don’t why but every Thursday morning I cannot seem to even muster up the energy to even dress myself. I have one thing that must be done on Thursday and the fact that I have had 7 days from the previous Thursday never seems to be enough time to meet that deadline and because of that I feel like I cannot make anything happen on Thursday . My reasoning doesn’t mean that I do not have the ability to do it its just the fact that my mind is telling me that I do not have the time to do it. When in fact I have ample time and a pattern to make everything go smoothly, its all about how you think about it .
I was riding through the neighborhood Thursday evening , trying to wear the babies down and doing research. I noticed some new construction and I admired the designs and their ability to build the same house and make it look completely different. I noticed the vast differences in the ages of my neighbors from those that were at retirement age to those that were freshly out of their twenties just settling into life. I started to think what was that one thing that put them in the position that they’re in right now? I remembered back on the previous Wednesday night , when our pastor gave us a passionate lesson on the mind. As a man thinks so is he. She went on to say that if you think bad things , bad things will happen . If you focus on the wrong things , the wrong things will happen to you . Positive thoughts produces positive results.
As I drove back to my house , I said someone had a vision for this neighborhood, and someone had a vision for the construction of the homes and how to situate the lots. They knew people would purchase lots and build homes and after they had lived there for a while, there were people in place to price these homes and sale them . The same homes that were sold in 2004 for $250 k have now tripled in price and that same 4 bedroom and 3 bath house built 20 years ago on the same street in the same neighborhood can be sold for $610k. And it was someone in place ready to make that purchase sometimes in 1 year or 1 week . Someone , some place in some previous time had a vision and expected for this to happen . And because of their positive thoughts they more than likely had positive results.
Which lead me to think about all those times I was up late at night thinking about whether or not I would ever get married. That one person who didn’t like me . If I can fit into that cute dress I just bought and whether or not I should be nice to my husband . And if I could finish my Thursday project on time . Instead of thinking about things I could actually do to improve my life. Facebook was created from good thoughts, so was myspace but someone’s vision was bigger and always evolving. Mcdonald’s was created from a great thought but someone’s vision was ever evolving causing it to go above and beyond. Starbucks came from a great thought so were cell phone’s , fidget spinners, reality television, so on and so forth. Don’t allow your small thoughts trap you from a successful future.
This week I am only thinking great things about Thursday! My thoughts will evolve into something beautiful .
Loving Thursday and Life
