WATCH WHAT YOU SAY
A coach who wants a winning team builds confidence, unity
and a positive “can do” attitude. He
works hard to build strength, character and faith. He spends quality time with his team. They are his/her total focus. Nothing interrupts that special quality time; not cooking, TV, reading, the phone, errands... nothing. What is he practicing for?....Winning! Why are we so afraid to speak positive
things? The bible tells us to speak of
things that are not, as though they are.
It tells us to think on things that are worthy of praise and of good
report. No coach says, “We’re probably
not going to win anyway, but let’s go out there. Why do WE take the low road saying things
like, “Oh, it may not work…well, I’ll believe it when I see it…(faith is the
evidence of things not seen)…That’ll never happen for me… “ (Ask and you shall receive)
We speak failure, hopelessness, and defeat when we speak and
think like that. (As a man thinketh, so
is he.” ) We do it so that we won’t be
disappointed if it fails. Wow, we prepare
for failure and not for success. Speak
faith. Give yourself a consequence when
you think or speak negative things. Put a quarter in a jar each time. THEN
change your words and change your mind.
People are looking at you and listening to you.
Your children and grandchildren will emulate you. Speak
positive things. Like the song says, "Free your mind and the rest will follow” Try it I think
you’ll like it.
