If you never give up things will turn around in your favor

If you feel like giving up, don't!! Even though it may seem like things will never change, as my mom used to say, It's a long road that has no turns. What a true statement that is!

Just when you believe that there's no use in trying any more, is when your circumstances change and what you've desired happens. I've noticed this more than usual lately and I now know why. I have made a special effort to never allow myself to think negatively about anything. Thoughts and words are both living. What you think and say becomes a reality. Never, never forget that truth.

I have always been a positive thinker and an optimistic person, but I have become even more so. I had a book signing and had to really prod myself to keep from thinking that no one would appear. They did and I was pleased with the results but I never allowed myself the luxury of thinking negatively.

I have a relative who made the decision to enter into a retirement village while she could still enjoy activities. Ah but the time it took for her to choose to do this. Her poor son was beside himself because he needed to leave the country for employment purposes and did not want to leave her alone. He grew more and more frustrated, but refused to push her into deciding too soon. He believes strongly in what he calls "karma." Just today, he called me and broke the news. "Mom just signed a contract to move to the retirement center," her said. "I could scarcely believe it." Without his having to constantly urge her to make up her mind she did it on her own.

I have found that is how life and the universe works. Sometimes you just need to "be. " Then is when the Holy Spirit, or the universe, or life forces, bend down to help you out. So never fear because as Jesus says, "Cast your burden on me and I will give you rest," and "Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have troubles of it's own," (Bible scripture). Yes you will arrive at where you want to be if you never give up, but believe in God and the universe. It all works together.

Tell us your story of an incident when you found that things turned out well without your having done a lot, except in your desire and positive outlook. Please comment.
