If you accept what people call you, you will start to believe it. Find your identity in Christ, not in what others say.

The truth is always revealed through the Word; but sadly, people don't always accept it. It is a painful process to face our faults and deal with them. Generally speaking, people justify misbehavior. They allow their past and how they were raised to negatively affect the rest of their lives. Our past may explain why we're suffering, but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.

I am not going to let negative people control my mood. They have problems and they are not going to give their problems to me.

A bad attitude is like a flat tire. If you don't change it, you won't go anywhere.

Knowing who we are in Christ sets us free from the need to impress others.

A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances, instead of your circumstances having power over you.

No matter what we own, we will not be happy if doing God's will is not a priority in our lives.

Understanding that we are forgiven and cleansed, and knowing who we are in Christ sets us free from the need to impress others. As long as we know who we are, we don't have to be overly concerned about what others think of us. Once we know who we are and accept ourselves, we no longer have anything to prove. When we have nothing to prove we can relax and be at ease in every situation.

You are not free until you have no need to impress anybody.

Anyone who tries to keep all the people happy all the time will never fulfill their destiny.

As a man thinketh in his heart; so is he. Therefore, all of my thoughts are positive. I do not allow the devil to use my spirit as a garbage dump by meditating on negative things that he offers me. (Prov. 23:7 KJV)

Our minds may be like some computers that can have a lifetime of wrong information stored in them.
