Topic:
Thinking The Worst
You always have a choice about thinking the worst or thinking the
best. As an example of thinking the worst, a woman once lived a life
where bad times seemed to come to her as if she was a magnet for the
worst in life. She continually thought about bad things happening. She
continually thought about the worst that could happen and in many
instances, the worst did happen. Her mind was working, but her mind was
working in the wrong direction. Her mind continually contemplated awful
things that could happen in the future. Her kind of thinking about the
future in "awful" terms has been termed "awfulizing."
This "awfulizing" kind of thinking can and does affect us in
body, mind, and spirit. Every day of our life, we contribute to our
success and well-being or take away from our success or well-being by
how we think. When we pray and meditate, as we become more aware of what
we think and how we think, we can choose our mental responses. We can
choose whether we think the worst or think the best. As we pray and
meditate, we can become aware of what is going on within us and then we
can make a response to what is going on within us. In prayer and
meditation, we must also become aware of what gives us hope because
anything giving us hope gives us life.
