Enjoying life is a choice. We chose what we allow our minds to dwell on. If we chose to dwell on negative things then we’ll have a negative attitude and become even more negative. And believe me, life has more than enough disappointments to keep us down the rest of our lives.
However, if we chose to find the bright side of things, and then dwell on the positive things instead of the negative, then we’ll enjoy life and live with a positive outlook.
That’s why God says in Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” (NASB)
See that part at the end that says "dwell on these things"? That's a command we are to obey.
So the next time you’re feeling down just remember, it’s your choice. But also remember that dwelling on the negative is sin. God says we are to control our mind and dwell on His list of good things.
