The Power of the Mind

On Sunday my friend dared me to take the challenge. I was complaining on and on about something and she asked me to try and shut up about it then maybe I would think less about and maybe...just maybe...I could get it off my mind. Guess what? It worked! I am amazed! Today she asked me how I was doing and it took me a while to figure out what she was going on about. That is what I call a 200 % success rate!

The mind is powerful. Wars are won in the mind long before the soldiers get onto the battlefield. With our minds we can rule the world and fashion hostile takeovers. With the same minds we can redefine failure and possibly get our fifteen minutes of fame or get into the Guinness book of records for all the wrong reasons. More like shame. It all starts and possibly ends in the mind.

The Bible says that out of the fruit of our lips our lives are filled with good things. Such is the power of the mind and by extension the tongue. What would happen if we only thought of good things? Best case scenario, we would be always smiling, always happy because we expect good things to happen and maybe they would. Worst case scenario, we could turn into Mort, the Lemar on Penguins of Madagascar, living in our own bubble. You could count the times Mort is angry. They are few and far between. Mostly related to King Julien and the royal feet. Speaking of which, Vain has a face! Don't even get me started on that! Point is its worth a shot.

I believe that we are who we think we are. For real. Our thoughts have a significant impact on our actions and view of life. It shows in the way we walk and talk; our countenance and our actions. How can you convince someone that you have what it takes to deliver on something if you cannot even convince yourself? Thank God for all the people who believed in us long before we ever did! Thanks to them and God we are who we are today. However, the buck also stops with us. Positive thinking like love is a choice. It is true that there are a myriad of issues and challenges in our daily lives. Sometimes enough to drive out all the hope in our hearts. Nonetheless, we need to believe the best for ourselves, it is the least we can do.

I have wasted so much time in my life worrying about things that did not even happen. I have lost smiles, opportunities, Kodak moments I should have enjoyed more if I just chose to believe the best for my future. Life is short. Our best moments are ahead of us! Are you ready for them?
