"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8
Psychology research has shown that focusing on the positive side of things creates energy and motivates us. We learn that if an organization or an individual wants to change, they should focus on the opportunity and the vision, not the problems of the current situation. I think Philippians 4:8 shows us that God gets this! (Of course He does! He's God.) His instructions for us to think about the Good (with a capital G!) things isn't only about wanting to keep us pure and holy. God knows that dwelling on Good things will motivate us, keep us strong and give us energy to face a new day.
