Positive thinking is like a medicine for the soul. Someone once said, “Think what you want to see.” The Bible also says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so he is.”
Life is full of challenges thus, we often experience tough times that can be depressing, devastating, and disturbing. Such turbulent seasons in life, if one doesn’t maintain a positive mentality can get entangled or overwhelmed with acute anxiety, worry, or even fear.
No one single human being is a robot. Once in awhile, we need to hear some words of encouragement, something to propel us to pursue our dreams, and endearing words. It is those endearing words we hear and read that keep us going during difficult and rough times.
