Introspective Tuesday!!

Greetings Global Villagers,

It's Introspective Tuesday!!  Let's reconsider the following quote by Boyte & Kari (1994) from this week's Magnificent Monday, 

"The way people imagine what they can and ought to do powerfully shapes how they act" (p. 25).

Let's think back to when we were 16-years old. What was the most important thing to us during that time? Was it school, sports, our boyfriend/girlfriend, place of worship, or friends? Now, let's think back to when we were 25-years old considering the same question?  What was important to us? Again, but now let's consider us at our present age? How have our actions changed from age 16 to the present? 

Do we agree that our thoughts at age 16 were the driving force of our actions? Now that we are adults, let's consider what drives us? Is it our careers, family, financial security, a greater good, spiritual well-being, or health and fitness? 

The point I'm trying to make is that we behave according to our thoughts. My challenge is for us to ponder what we are thinking about. If we do so, then we will discover that what we think about the most is manifested in our actions.

So, on this Introspective Tuesday, let's think about what we are thinking about...

Why?

Because God created us with the power to shape our greatness!!
