What are you thinking about?
Positive thoughts, I hope.
Why?
Well, for one thing, with positive thinking you’re more likely to come up with a solution to a problem.
I’ve got a little inspirational story to illustrate this.
Yesterday Brian walked into my office with a big smile on his face. He was just about to burst with something to tell me…so, of course, I let him do that… on the spot!
And I’m glad I did!
With excitement he said, “I just saved a bee!”
That’s something he hadn’t had much chance to do lately. Previously, as I told you in my story, ‘Can A Bee Show You How to Find Happiness?’, he used to find a struggling bee in our swimming pool almost every day. But lately, he rarely sees a bee.
Just a day or so before yesterday he rescued a bee from the pool. After keeping that bee on his finger for awhile, he set it on a chair outside in the sun to let it dry off its wings. Unfortunately a lizard ate that bee because it couldn’t fly away.
As I told Brian just now that I was writing about his amazing story of saving a bee yesterday, he said: “Did I ever tell you about the wasp?”
“No,” I replied.
“A wasp raises its wings when it lands in the pool, so it doesn’t get its wings wet like the bees do.”
So those bees that land in our pool get their wings wet and can’t fly. Some of them are lucky enough to be rescued by Brian, if he gets to them in time.
Alright, back to yesterday’s story of the bee that survived….I got a little sidetracked when Brian summoned me to come outside. And I couldn’t resist…it’s such a gorgeous, cool and sunny day.
Brian really wanted to save that bee, even though the bee was really out of it, near death. So he was thinking about how he could save the bee.
Since the last bee he had tried to save was eaten after he left it outside, Brian brought this delirious bee inside.
Then he asked God “How can I give this little bee more help? Lord, I need a miracle.”
And instantly the answer came to him…
