40 days to a Joy filled life

So now I will restart to read this book by Tommy Newberry, "40 days to a Joy-filled life". I bought this book probably over a year ago, starting readong but did not finish it. I can't remember in what day I stopped. It s a self help book duh hehe, with the idea that you should just read one chapter at a t9me for 40 days. Accorsing to the author, the book is written to help the reader put the 4:8 principle into practice in your everyday life... for the rest of your life.
The 4:8 principle, still according to the author is based on Philippians 4:8 that states that whatever you give your attention to expamds in your experience. If you dwell on your strengths, your blessings, your goals and all the people who love you, then you will attract even more blessings even more love and even more accomplishments. Hmm.. seems a lot like "The Secret".

So now as I try to navigate this 40 days journey, I will try to post everyday, my key take aways for each chapter.
So for Day 1 (Dec 26 2018)
- Joy does not depend on outer conditions of your material life but rather on the inner

condition of your mental life.
-Joy is the result of something strikingly simple, thought not necessarily easy, consistently thinking of joy producing thoughts
-Think about what you want and not what you don't want
-Release the need to hang on thoughts that haven't worked well for you

That's it! Let's see again tomorrow.
