The mind is a wonderful vessel, which is often taken for granted. The mind has the power to influence any situation and what we allow ourselves to think ultimately determines who and where we are.
So what are we filling our minds with every day? Whatever you are filling your mind with everyday matters! “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
This is the one great tools we have to influence the course of our lives. No matter where you find yourself in life you have the ability to change it. Now this sounds very simple and even too good to be true maybe, but it is a truth that has stood the test of time.
Great sportsman, businessman and leaders throughout history have made use of this tool to thrive! Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said, “I have a dream” and he became one of the greatest influencers of all time.
I want to encourage you to sit down and write your ultimate dream for your life down on paper and then to put it up somewhere where you would see it in the morning, afternoon and evening. Now this should be an outrages dream, it does not need to be realistic, in fact it should not be realistic. It should excite and even scare you. Read this dream allowed to yourself in the morning, afternoon and the evening. This will change your life.
Then stand guard at the door of your heart and do not allow your mind to be filled with negative influences. Cut negative people out of your life! Be mindful of the content you allow into your mind. Negative content will affect you negatively.
Fill your mind with faith, hope and love. Have the courage to follow your outrageous dreams. Do not allow history to define you, rather let your hope for the future define you.
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.”
