And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
It’s just way too easy to set our minds upon bad, ugly, or even evil things. Don't let your mind fall into that pattern and trap. Rather, keep your eyes and mind focused on things that are true, honorable and right, dedicating everyday to the source of joy and encouraging others to live this way, as well. As you experience the circumstances of daily life, keep meditating on that which is "pure and lovely and admirable." Take the time to praise the Lord for beautiful thinking because doing so leads to beautiful living. How often do you set your mind to think about things that are excellent and worthy? Don't hesitate on making this very simple change.
