Mediocre Minds

Goal 2 - Change my mind.

I have this problem, my mind...it thinks up all kinds of things that are just plain, no good! It tells me lies about how I look, how I feel, what I deserve, how I should be treated and what I didn't accomplish for the day, month, year. When I move past something it is always there to remind me.

The mind can be an incredible thing, but let's face it - the battle starts here, before I ever open my mouth.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that you may be able to determine that which God's will is, that which is good, acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:2

It may seem simple, or black and white to some, but changing the mind takes as much "decision" as dwelling. So I choose to change.

When I hear negative self-talk I will remind myself I am part of a royal priesthood. (1 Peter) Created by God's hand himself! (Psalm 139)

When I feel hurt/anger towards another person I will focus instead on why THEY are hurting and what I can do to help. The second greatest command is to love one another.

When I become overwhelmed with what needs to be done and what I have not completed I will remind myself that I was created with eternity in my heart and that this is my temporary home.

I will change my mind and it will change me.

Albert Einstein said "Great spirits have always found opposition from mediocre minds".

All you naysayers - Change your mind!
