“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; October 7, 2008

          John Wooden may be best known as a basketball coach; but, where he probably excels  is a people coach.  Coach Wooden is known as a winner both on the court and in life.  Probably the neatest thing about John Wooden is that he is so quotable.  For example, in describing his strategy for happiness he noted, “Promise yourself that you will talk health, happiness and prosperity as often as possible.”.

          Whether it’s because of self-talk or just because we talk about what we see, most people are self-fulfilling prophets.  If we want to see the good, we’ll talk about it; but, if we are constantly talking about horrors and hardships, we’ll find those instead.

          Let’s do ourselves (and those around us) a great big favor.  Let’s limit how much we talk about our struggles and increase the amount of time spent talking about health, happiness and prosperity.  It may not actually make us healthier, wealthier and wiser; but, we’ll sure seem like it. 

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
