The 100 Top Inspirational Anecdotes and Stories: A collection of witty, inspiring, amusing, eye-opening and spirit-soothing anecdotes and stories

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.
