YOU Attract What YOU Represent

• A great teacher once said, “A good mental attitude is better than mental ability.” For your attitude tells the world what you expect from life and you will receive exactly that, no more, no less. When I said to you a second ago that the only limit to the power of God lies within you, I meant exactly that. God knows no limit to his power.
• He is still God Almighty. You limit him in your asking, in your lack of faith, in your attitude toward him. And The very same thing is true of life. Your attitude tells the world what you expect from life. And you’ll receive from life exactly what you expect. No more, no less. Perhaps the word of God has put the finger on the secret.
• Oh, sure you know it. Perhaps you didn’t know exactly where to find it in the word of God, but it’s there in Proverbs the 23rd chapter, the 7th verse. For as he thinkketh in his heart, so is he. In other words, as a man thinkketh, his mental attitude, so is that person. A thought precedes a deed. You want to know something? Every normal man or woman longs more keenly for love, for warm friendship, admiration, human responsiveness from his fellows than for anything else in life.
• But what men and women do not see is the fact that the miracle of receiving from others must begin on the inside of himself. It must begin inside of his own mind. He is the one when he begins passing out love, giving love, he gets love in return. But he’ll never get warmth, kindness, love until he begins giving it out.
• And it’s just like that. Have you ever noticed that the higher you go on the human scale, the nicer the people are? It’s all a matter of attitude. You can tell a great deal about a person just from studying his attitude. His attitude about others, his attitude about life in general, his attitude about the folk with whom he works.
• People are mean, suspicious, vindictive outwardly only when they are mean, suspicious, vindictive inwardly. That’s what the Bible means. As a man thinkketh, so is he. And the more confident a person is of his own value as a person, the better his attitude toward others and the world in general. A man can’t be mean in his deeds and be wonderful on the inside. No.
