What are you planting in your mind? What kind of thoughts are you entertaining? When learning something new the Conscious mind is in control and after you get it the subconscious mind takes over.
Think about it: When you first started driving, skating or riding a bike you were 100% there, learning and trying hard not to fall or fail. When you learnt how to operate that vehicle or ride that bike you became an expert. It got so easy that You didn’t think much about it. There are times I have driven from work to home and wondered how I got home. When learning something new the Conscious mind is in control and after you get it the subconscious mind takes over.
Watch your thoughts dear ones! Once planted in a fertile ground (mind) they grow and become our governing systems. They will empower or limit you and it all begins with what you entertain. Any idea once planted will stay in place unless challenged or replaced. If you don’t challenge it, it will grow strong and stronger and even grow seeds
That quote “Mind your own business” has never been truer. Your mind is your main Business. Watch what goes in it. Say no to anything that’s not in sync with your purpose.
We think 60,000 thoughts a day according to Deepak Chopra. Which most of it we can control..
Challenge your belief system by asking yourself these questions:
Is it ....
1. Logical
2. Reasonable
3. Helping me
Remember, Who you are today is where your thoughts have brought you. Who you will be tomorrow is where your thoughts will take you. You are a product of your thoughts!! PROVERBS 23:7 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he".
Imagine you hear a knock on the door. It is your responsibility to not only walk toward the door, but to know for sure who is at the door.
You just don't open the door, you peek through the “security hole”in the door and see who’s at the door. Then you make a decision to let them in or not.
The door is your mind and it is your BUSINESS TO CHOOSE what You are going to welcome in. When you identify what is trying to GAIN ENTRY to your MIND, You decide whether you are going to ALLOW It to COME IN, take a sit, offer it a drink and entertain it or whether you reject it.
It is your responsibility to take every thought captive. (II Cor. 10:5); to resist the devil (James 4:7); to choose to think on pure, lovely, wholesome things (Phil. 4:8).
It is extremely important that you protect your mind and hear and not expose it to damaging things that produce negative thinking within you. (Proverbs 4:23)
Because what you think is what you are. You are what you are today because of yesterday's thoughts.
Your tomorrow is being shaped by your thoughts today.
Be intentional about what you think about.
