The Whole Word Stinks

By John C. Maxwell

Wise men and philosophers Throughout the year, 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 around the world "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.
