You know what's in there

You have most likely heard many memorable commercials through the years. And many were so memorable that you can repeat many of the words and sentences from the commercials if you were asked.

I have been thinking that there is a current commercial that could tell us a lot about people if we changed the words. This is the commercial with the Vikings running amok and terrorizing the good citizens of the community because they don’t have and use the Capital One credit card.

What line is most memorable? “What’s in your wallet?”

What we carry with us tells others a lot about us. Credit cards, watches, cash, phones, cosmetics, jewelry, clothing, bags and anything else you may carry. What they tell about us can be many things. What we like. What our interests are. What we think about ourselves. And what we want others to think about us.

But what really tells the most about us is what we carry around inside of ourselves. That would be our attitudes and beliefs and some of us don’t do too well here. Our attitudes and beliefs are released when we deal with others. Do you know any obnoxious well dressed bastards?

These attitudes and beliefs are stored in the heart. ‘Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks’. What you put in is what will come out. Good in good out – courage, respect, appreciation, integrity, love, encouragement, serving others. Bad in bad out – judgment, envy, hate, jealousy, greed, profanity, pornography, bad attitude, selfishness.

So the question to answer is, What’s in your heart? If you don’t like what’s in there or you don’t like the way you are, you can change. It will take effort but there is someone who tells us he will help us do that.
