Negativity will poison your life! You need to learn how to protect your heart,
the recesses of your inner core, so that you don’t internalize the darkness of daily
living. It is important to stay in peace
and be filled with joy. We all have
troubles and turmoil in our lives but the key is not to let those troubles get
on the inside of you and start to eat and contaminate your life.
When life hands you difficulties that is the time to be
careful and guard yourself. Don’t let
your difficulties overtake you, fill you with worry or doubt or any other
negative thoughts. We definitely cannot keep the storms from coming into our
lives yet we have the power to stop the emotions of those storms to penetrate
our inner thoughts, our mind. Our inner
core, our hearts needs to remain pure and hopeful. When you have a good
attitude despite what is going on, you are showing God that you are placing
your worries and fear in His hands. When
you place your trust in God, some how, that strong faith brings you a wonderful
sense of peace and calm.
When you
wallow in self-pity and start dwelling on our hurts and all the negative
chatter that you hear, you move into the danger zone where evil and darkness
have the ability to pull you in and drag you down.
The trick
of the enemy is that it tries to deceive so you move into his hole but this is
the time for you to get strong, guard your heart and resist its pull.
Every
day, you need to watch out for what you are allowing into your thoughts because
they may lead you in the wrong direction.
It is far easier to guard your mind if you
stay vigilant about where you are placing your thoughts and they be conscious
about how you can use your thoughts to improve your life. Don’t watch movies or follow the troubles
that are surfacing in the world—all that will do is drag you down and keep that
negative story alive in your mind. It
would serve you so much more if you can simply stay focused on your goals as
you learn how to strengthen your internal house.
How you
use the power of your mind will help determine your overall wellbeing. The direction of your thoughts is something
you have control over; you can continually think that you have limited
abilities and talents or you can seek to thrive knowing that the outside forces
have no place in the inner sanctum of your mind.
Stay
positive, hopeful, believe that possibilities are coming your way. If you consciously protect your thoughts and
your mind, you will most definitely live a happier and healthier
lifestyle. It is easy to go around
worrying all day long when you get a negative health report, or you lose a job or
have a relationship dissolve.
All of
those worrisome and negative things happen all the time and are part of our journey but believe it or
not, those are simply experiences that you are traveling through at this moment
in your life. This is the time you need
to turn your difficulties over to God and ask him to give you the courage, the
strength, and all that you need to uplift your mind, your thoughts and lighten
your heart and your load. It is a fact sometimes
we face challenges of various degrees. When
you do, that is the time you need to understand, that quite possibly, you are
being tested to see if you can stay strong and believe that with God on your
side, you can and will move out of this
valley of darkness and into the light
and glory of God.
One of
your greatest challenges in life is to pay attention to where you place your
thoughts. Do you feed your mind with
negative ideas, worries, fears and hopelessness or do you vigorously discipline
yourself to keep feeding on what brings you joy, inner peace and a wonderful
sense of contentment?
It will
serve you greatly if you can make it your mantra: “Don’t let what is on the outside get in on the inside of you.”
