Changing Your Thinking (Mindset)

[Charissee Jones]

If your thoughts could cause things to instantly happen, what kind of thoughts would you think? If your values and priorities were to be continually manifested in the world around you, what values and priorities would you choose?

The fact is, your thoughts, your values, and your priorities most certainly have a major influence on the quality of your world and your life. Though you cannot instantly make something appear just by thinking about it, the things that do end up appearing in your life often do so as a result of your thoughts.

Your thoughts directly control your actions, and your actions have a major impact on the reality of your life. When you feed your moments with positive, loving, thankful thoughts, your life and your world cannot help but benefit.

The quickest way to improve your situation is to improve the way you think about it. Though your thoughts will not immediately change anything outside of you, they can immediately change your outlook.

And by adopting an affirmative, creative, grateful outlook on life, you receive a double benefit. Your actions become more focused on creating value and at the same time, they become more effective.

Changing your thinking can indeed change your world. So choose the best thoughts that you can possibly imagine.

this is a wonderful reminder. and as i try to remind myself, it flows from the heart.

[Rev. Louis J. Guarine]

Charissee,

Good thoughts you have there and you have well expressed them.

May I add further. Yes, your thoughts do affect your surroundings and other people. But where do your thoughts come from? They can either be God-inspired or Satan-inspired.

God's Word says to set our affections on things above. We are always influenced in our thoughts by those things and circumstances around us. I believe that the key to proper thoughts is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Then all things that we think will channel through the filter of the Holy Spirit and the results will be those of joy, peace, good tidings and especially good attitude which you speak about. If the Holy Spirt has complete control of us, then the only thing that will issue out of our hearts will be those things set in motion by the Holy Spirit. Thus our tongues will edify others and our conduct will be proper and people will see His light and wisdom and not our own.
