Emotions. feelings and attitudes are all cycles we run our mind through. Realizing how to sift the unwelcome and fearful thoughts from your mindet is the challenge many of us never seem to win. Solomon, referring to attitudes: "For as he thinks within himself, so he is" (Proverbs 23:7).
Paul, referring to thoughts: "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute . . . dwell on these things" (Philippians 4:8).
Peter, referring to the mind: "Therefore, prepare your minds for action" (1 Peter 1:13).
Thoughts, positive or negative, grow stronger when fertilized with constant repetition. That may explain why so many who are gloomy and gray stay in that mood, and why others who are cheery and enthusiastic continue to be so, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Please do not misunderstand. Happiness (like winning) is a matter of right thinking, not intelligence, age, or position. Our performance is directly related to the thoughts we deposit in our memory bank. We can only draw on what we deposit.
You are the Kingdom of your mind so rule it with the neccessities that uplift and inspire the soul to greater heights.
