If you see the best in your future, you’ll get the best. If you see the worst, you’ll get the worst. If you see the worst in your colleagues, friends, or family, they will give you their worst. You may have catlike Jedi reflexes, but if someone calls you clumsy and you believe it, you will become clumsier. Or imagine someone who is known by everyone to be rude or inconsiderate. Imagine this person uncharacteristically opens the door for someone else and you say to him, “Chip, that was so polite. You are such a polite person. Thank you.” Watch as Chip starts opening doors for people and becomes more hospitable.
What we see in others and what we see in ourselves becomes our reality. When it stays in our thinking long enough, when we dwell on it, it becomes true. This is why we must become believers in the promises of God. We must believe in favor and destiny, even when things are not going well.
Because the mind is a garden, tending to good, noble thoughts will lead to a good and noble life. But not tending to your thoughts will lead to a garden full of weeds—wild, overgrown, and unfruitful.
This is because base, ignoble thoughts are the most natural thoughts of all, the kinds that come when we stop paying attention or working hard at our thought life. Good, fruitful, positive, and purposeful thinking is difficult.
Your thoughts become you. I’m not talking about the fleeting thoughts that pop in and out of your head. I’m talking about what you dwell on; those thoughts become your destiny. If you have bitter thoughts, you will become a bitter person. If you have thoughts of peace, you will become a peaceful person. In short, what you dwell on begins to show in your circumstances, so dwell on the kinds of things that will shape the life you want to have.
