So I thought I would start this thing on my blog that I've had in my head for quites some time. I want to start a "life lessons from Anna" series. Here's the deal, everyday...or something like that, I'll come up with some little peice of knowledge I'd learned from that day and post it on my blog. Then maybe, if I felt like explaining it, I'd add a little paragraph at the bottom. Like the idea? Well, let's try it out then shall we?
Life Lessons #1: Focusing on thoughts of bad things in your life, awkward moments, lost friends, and times of hurt will only make you depressed. Thinking of things that made you happy and make you laugh, is good for the soul.
I know this seems pretty straight forward and cliche. But it's very true. It's also something I have to remind myself of quite often. Not only will focusing on the bad mak you depressed, it can make you worry, get frustrated, loose your appetite, be anxious, and even get sick. Whereas thinking on good things, giving thanks, and remembering things that made you laugh will make you happier, more sane, give you a fresh outlook on life, and even be healthier. I mean come on; laughing can be one grueling ab workout!
So yeah I guess what I'm trying to say is this:
Phillipians 4:6-8
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—think on these things.
