Mind Your Mind

Mind you Mind:
Dictating your experiences through the power of your thoughts

Mind your mind' is a phrase that I've started using a lot lately. I've come to realize the importance of a right thinking in influencing my daily attitude. Therefore, if I can mind my mind then I can control my attitude. Do you know your thoughts dictates your reaction towards any circumstance, which influences your attitude and your attitude affects your character? Therefore you are the product of your thoughts.

Proverbs 23:7 “ For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (MKJV).

The bible indicates you are what you think. Your thought pattern or mindset determines what you will be. You will become what you habitually think. Therefore to change your future for the better you first have to change your thinking.

You actually determine what you want to experience in your life by your imagination. Your imagination draws the blue-print for your future experiences. Your actions always start as a thought. Therefore your experiences does not originate from your actions but from your thoughts. Therefore the Lord does not separate your imagination from your experience. He declares:

Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

This means that when you look at a woman and have an imaginative desire about her, that desire has already taken place in your heart. The word lust in the above scriptural text is epithuméo in the Greek. It is made up of two Greek words "epi" meaning in and "thumeo" which means mind. Therefore epithuméo means in mind. Jesus therefore states what one has in mind towards a woman has already taken place. Jesus does not separate your thoughts from your experiences. Your tangible experiences are a product of your invisible thoughts. Good thoughts produce good experiences. The bible therefore admonishes us to think on good stuff.

Phil 4:8 (KJV)
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

You have the power to influence your future experiences for the better through your right thinking. It is high time you focus on minding your mind.

Therefore it is very important that we watch our thoughts.
