It Starts In The Mind



Many people today don’t realize that the reason they’re not happy, the reason they’re not enjoying life is simply because they’ve trained their minds in the wrong direction. This is why when I talk about “getting better” I don’t just talk about physical training but more of an overall health, STARTING with the mind.

People tend to get it twisted, just going along with whatever pops into their head. As if they have no choice but to go with it, never realizing that THEY have programmed their minds to worry. THEY’VE programmed their minds to complain. THEY’VE programmed their minds to see the negative. And just as we can train our mind to focus on the negative, we can also reprogram our minds to focus on the positive. It all depends on what you meditate on.

When we meditate on God’s directions and promises, we reprogram our minds. When we meditate on God’s goodness, we are developing a right mindset. When we choose to be grateful and focus on what’s right rather than what’s wrong, we are choosing a positive attitude.

This doesn’t happen automatically though. You do have to discipline yourself to focus on the right things. You have to make a conscious effort to spend time with God every single day until a habit is formed. Read and embrace His promises for yourself.

The bible says, “Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you...”  Ask for His help, give your full effort toward this end and then let Him change your way of thinking.

I’ve seen in my life and countless others, that as you honor God with your time, He’ll multiply it back to you. As you stay faithful and focused on Him, He will direct your steps, and you will receive ALL of the blessings He has in store for you!
