The Whole Word Stinks

By John C. Maxwell
Wise men and philosophers throughout the ages have disagreed on many things, but many are in unanimous
agreement on one point: “We become what we think about.” Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “A man is what he thinks
about all day long.” The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius put it this way: “A man’s life is what his thoughts make of
it.” In the Bible we find: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”

One Sunday afternoon, a cranky grandfather was visiting his family. As he lay down to take a nap, his grandson
decided to have a little fun by putting Limburger cheese on Grandfather’s mustache. Soon, grandpa awoke with a
snort and charged out of the bedroom saying, “This room stinks.” Through the house he went, finding every room
smelling the same. Desperately he made his way outside only to find that “The whole world stinks!”

So it is when we fill our minds with negativism. Everything we experience and everybody we encounter will carry the
scent we hold in our mind.

Saturday) when a man activated the grenade at the entrance to the club. About 150 customers were inside at the
time.
Such incidents aren’t unusual in Serbia since the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s when many hand grenades and
firearms were taken home from warfronts.
Serbia’s state TV says the man was angry because he and three of his friends were refused entry by the club’s
security. He and one of his friends were killed in the blast.

“The face of Elrond was ageless, neither old nor young, though in it was written the memory of many things both glad
and sorrowful. His hair was dark as the shadows of twilight, and upon it was set a circlet of silver; his eyes were grey
as a clear evening, and in them was a light like the light of stars.” You can almost feel night gathering as you read
that passage, from the gray of evening to the appearance of the night sky, and the overall impression is one of great
age despite the claim of agelessness.
