To one person the world is desolate, dull and empty;
to another the same world looks rich, interesting and full of meaning. “Eyes
that look are common. Eyes that sees are rare”, says J. Oswald Sanders.
If you
look at life the wrong way there is always cause for alarm. It’s the same way a
twenty – dollar bill can look so big when it goes to church and so small when
it goes for groceries. What you see depends mainly on what you look for.
Position yourself to receive, not resist. “Any fact
facing us is not as important as our attitude towards it, for that determines
our success or failure” (Normal Vincent Peale). When you are positioned right, opportunities
present itself. Opportunity can be missed if you are broadcasting when you
should be turning in. opportunities can drop in your lap if you have your lap
where opportunities drop.
Most people have trouble with the future because it
arrives before they are ready for it. You’ll find that life responds to your
outlook. We go where our vision is. Life is mostly a matter of expectation. “For
I know the plans I have for you, declares the lord. Plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future”. (Jeremiah 29:11)
