 Changing the Way You Think
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
When somebody says, "This is off the top of my head," expect dandruff! Einstein said, "Thinking is hard work that is why so few of us do it." To become a better thinker you must change two things: 1) Your thought processes. Gordon MacDonald says, "People who are out of shape mentally, fall victim to ideas and systems that are destructive to the human spirit. They have not been taught how to think, nor have they set themselves to the life-long pursuit of the growth of the mind, so they grow dependent upon the thoughts and opinions of others. Rather than deal with ideas and issues, they reduce themselves to lives filled with rules, regulations and programs." 2) Your expectations. A man went to a fortune teller who told him, "You will be poor and unhappy until you are 45." He asked the fortune teller, "What will happen then?" She replied, "Then you will get used to it." How many successful people do you know who are apathetic or negative? None! Real faith produces excitement, commitment, energy - characteristics that help you achieve success. If you would like to possess these qualities, then raise your expectation level. Bring it into alignment with God's promises. Do you want to succeed where you have failed before? To become the person you always hoped to be? Do not start by trying to change your actions, start by changing your mind. Renew it daily with God's Word. Nothing you do will have as great an impact.
