eventually true -quote reflections by (me!) sandra, topps, writeousmom.com


 where this quote came from?  who said it originally?  but, decades ago, i appreciated it enough to type it out, use a pretty font on quality paper; trim it with fancy scrapbook scissors and thumb-tack it on the bulletin board of my then office  [magtimeframes era, lets call it]

and despite many moves; and storage time, etc.;  i still have it.

what i reflect on when i come across it...   is just how long it takes before it's true:

that what you find in your mind is what YOU put there..

because books, tv/pharmaceutical commercials, mass media..   social media..   'influencers'  magazines.. billboards..  salespeople.. news programs... cartoons...

movie-makers, teachers, parents, siblings, podcasts..   on and on..

a lot of what is initially in our minds is intentionally placed there by others 

but what progress we each make! when we start to exercise self- control; self-governing; what we do allow and don't allow in our minds

becoming conscious of..  recognizing and managing..    and honoring...

i am ever aware now; avoiding bad and putting good; weeding out bad; planting good..

romans 12:2      selah!    /this is my new favorite word!
