Here's a sample from the collection:
The Whole World Stinks
Wise men and philosophers
throughout the ages have disagreed on many things, but many are in unanimous agreement on
one point: "We become what we think about." Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "A
man is what he thinks about all day long." The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius put it
this way: "A man's life is what his thoughts make of it." In the Bible we find:
"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."
One Sunday afternoon, a cranky
grandfather was visiting his family. As he lay down to take a nap, his grandson decided to
have a little fun by putting Limburger cheese on Grandfather's mustache. Soon, grandpa
awoke with a snort and charged out of the bedroom saying, "This room stinks."
Through the house he went, finding every room smelling the same. Desperately he made his
way outside only to find that "the whole world stinks!"
So it is when we fill our
minds with negativism. Everything we experience and everybody we encounter will carry the
scent we hold in our mind.
