Happy people think happy thoughts

You’ve probably heard the old saying, “Don’t believe everything you think.” That might be some of the best mental health advice ever given. Unhappy people tend to let their thoughts run wild. They rehearse hurts, replay regrets, and catastrophize about the future. Happy people do something different — they think about what they think about. […]

Quotes by Josh Hunt  (?)

“John Chandler, who leads a Christian community in Austin, Texas, shared this: We’ve by far had the most success inviting people into our community life by inviting them to serve alongside us. As a matter of fact, that’s about the only thing that’s worked consistently as far as “official” church activities go.”
Josh Hunt, Doubling Groups 2.0: How Andy Stanley and a whole generation of churches are exploding with doubling groups and the power of hospitality.

“Make as many small, positive changes as you can. Build up that change account. Then, if you negotiate a big change and it goes badly, you will have some resources in the change bank to draw from.”
Josh Hunt, Change Your Church or Die

“Your music is perfectly tuned to get the results you are now getting.”
Josh Hunt, Change Your Church or Die

“If God 'foresaw' our acts, it would be very hard to understand how we could be free not to do them. But suppose god is outside and above the Time-line... You never supposed that your actions at this moment were any less free because God knows what you are doing. Well, He know your tomorrow's actions in just the same way--because He is already in tomorrow and can simply watch you. In a sense, He does not know your action till you have done it: but the moment at which you have done it is already 'NOW' for Him.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“There's a lot of difference between listening and hearing.”
G.K. Chesterton

“We know that infant rats who receive more licking and grooming from their mothers are less fearful and more intelligent as adults, have better immune systems, and are more attentive mothers themselves.”
Richard O'Connor, Happy at Last: The Thinking Person's Guide to Finding Joy

“Across thirty-two cities worldwide, people in 2006 were walking an average 10 percent faster than they were in 1994.”
Richard O'Connor, Happy at Last: The Thinking Person's Guide to Finding Joy

“When Jesus developed leaders, He often said, “Follow this example,” as in communion, or, “Teach and baptize like this,” as in the Great Commission. If Jesus reproduced leaders after His “own kind,” don’t you think we will too?”
Don Ross, Turnaround Pastor
