Concentrating on the evil things you are doing will never help you do the good things that you desire to do.

acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. Romans 12:2

By just being positive, having the best perspective on everything, and always believing the best of everybody, we release peace and joy in our lives.

Although we do not always have the power to change every unpleasant circumstance in our lives, we do have the power to change our outlook. We can look out at life from our inmost being with our hearts filled with positive thoughts and attitudes, or we can respond as Charlie did—allowing the events of life to shape our thoughts and attitudes. This is a decision that only we can make—no one can make it for us!

make a quality decision that you are going to get your mind renewed and learn to choose your thoughts carefully. Make up your mind that you will not quit and give up until victory is complete and you have taken possession of your rightful inheritance.

One of the ingredients of forming good habits and breaking bad ones is focusing on what you want to do and not on what you want to stop doing.

Where the mind goes the person follows, so be sure that your thoughts are on what you want rather than what you don't want.

Stop Saying "Hate" and Start Saying "Joy

i dare you Slow Down and Use Your Mind Properly 1. Be determined to pay attention to the things around you, like flowers, trees, a child playing, or your family who loves you. 2. Commit to reading something that is not work-related for at least thirty minutes a day. 3. Get up twenty minutes earlier than you do right now and spend that time with God. Ask Him to show you how He wants you to use your time that day.

Our actions are a direct result of our thoughts. If we have a negative mind, we will have a negative life. If, on the other hand, we renew our mind according to God's Word, we will, as Romans 12:2 promises, prove out in our experience "the good and acceptable and perfect will of God" for our lives.

I know of only one way to overcome the results of a series of bad decisions, and that is through a series of good ones.

If we say a thing often enough, silently in our hearts or verbally, we will believe it.
