The mindset of a human being is a Powerful thing. It has the ability to make a person happy and prosperous or it can even hold him back from achieving good things in life. A negative mindset can make you miserable even when the circumstances are favorable. In short, positive attitude towards life can have a huge impact on every aspect of your life.I would not say that it is a simple process to change your attitude towards life. One has to struggle a lot to change his thought pattern but it is worth it. The words coming out of your mouth have great power to change your life for good or bad. If you want to know what you will become five years from now, just listen to what you are saying about yourself today.
Every word that we say has an effect. All spiritual disciplines warn us to be very careful of the words that we speak. Negative words can remain with a child all his life as can positive words. A moment of irritation can cause a parent to say "You never do things right." Many a child has heard a parent or relative say, "You will never make anything of yourself." How damaging that can be, when as an adult he is applying for a job.
When you choose to see the world as a friendly place you set a positive expectation that where ever you go, loving, caring people are ready to help you succeed. You step out into the world knowing even if there are scam artists and evil doers; there are good people out there ready to guide you to positive outcomes. You are the one who makes decisions for your life and the faceless 'they' can only influence your decisions if you let them. You are the driver of how you deal with the world. You decide to deal with the world as if it is hostile or as if it is friendly.
God created us to be like Him. He made us to be speaking creatures with the ability to cause change through the power of our words. Everyone lives under the power and influence of words. Words really control everything in this realm and in the Eternal Realm.The manner of life that you are living, positive or negative, has been brought about by words spoken to you and over you, or that you spoke over yourself, words that were thought upon and accepted. These words formed an inner image on the inside of you. By inner image, I mean the way that you view yourself and life in general on the inside, in your heart and mind.Please understand, you speak and live out what is in you in abundance.The condition of your heart and mind determines what you think, how you speak and how you live and treat yourself and other people.Proverbs 4:23 (King James Version of the Bible),"Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life."The word, keep, means to guard. And the word issues, means, out-flowing. So this verse of Scripture is telling us, to guard what we allow to get into our hearts, for we will live it out. Why is this so? Because words paint pictures. They paint pictures inside of us, in the subconscious area of our souls. And from these inner pictures, we live our lives.
Many of our most common expressions use negative words. How many times have you or someone else said, "I nearly had a fit." (I stopped saying that after meeting a young boy who suffered from a form of epilepsy that cruelly twisted and contorted him for several minutes each day.) Have you said, " I could have killed him," when some minor thing has bothered us. This fact of how we unwittingly say negative words was brought home to me, when I was living in another country and learning another language.
Seek Help from a Trustworthy Person,If you have difficulty transitioning from experiencing the world as hostile to friendly, seek the assistance of a person in your life you and others know to be trustworthy and ethical. Sometimes it helps to practice seeing the world through another set of eyes--ones you can easily trust and safely learn from.'Before complaining you are a slave to another, be sure you are not a slave to self. Look within--You will find there-- perchance-- slavish thoughts, slavish desires, and in your daily life and conduct slavish habits. Conquer these; cease to be a slave to self, and no man will have the power to enslave you.' James Allen,Need Help Seeing the World as a Friendly Place? The words of our mouths play a vital role in our lives. We succeed or we fail based upon what we continually say. While many people do not see the correlation between our words and the literal events and affairs of our lives, it is a proven fact that we experiencing the sum total of what we have been saying constantly.
Parents, what are you telling your children.Oh be careful what you feed the minds of your child. Make sure you are not feeding them with a destructive mindset of negativism and limitation.Feed them truth from God's Word about themselves so that they can see themselves in the light of truth, God's Truth, and act accordingly.Words will form their inner self, positive or negative.Let me give you another vivid picture of the power of words and their affect upon the hearts and minds of people.It is sad, but true that many young people have gotten caught up in some very negative and destructive habits and behaviors.I remember when this trend started to develop some serious problems in our land.People started throwing blame all over the place.Some blamed the parents.Some blamed the teachers.Some even had the audacity to blame the church.But very few really placed the blame where it really belonged.We must remember that we all have an enemy named satan.He is an evil foe that does not care about anyone. His one intent is destroying mankind.The enemy has come against this generation through the negative influence of destructive thoughts.Of course he has been using people to plant these negative images in the hearts of men and women, boys and girls. And he still does.
Let us look at a few examples. If you are in dentist's waiting room and the nurse comes in and says, "I do apologize for the delay, but the dentist has had to do an emergency treatment. I would be more than happy to help you if it more convenient for you to make another appointment.". Or if you have to walk into a supermarket and the manager explains "We are so sorry for the inconvenience, but we are changing the display to make it easier or our customers" If you are anxious about a situation and a friend tells you "Don't worry, everything will turn out alright." What a healing, calming effect those positive words have.
Words are containers. They contain positive things, or they contain negative things. They contain faith or they contain fear. They contain joy and peace or they contain worry and misery. And if those words ore wrapped in belief, then we will find ourselves having the same things that we say.If you and I desire to be truly successful in life, we must ensure that our words are positive and filled with faith. We must continually say that we are able to do what is in our hearts to do, and that we can accomplish great things because we have a great God.
God's Word is alive.God's Word has transforming power.The word, transform means: to change from one form to another. (And in the context of this book, we are indicating that change to be for the better).So God's Word is able to give you such a new and glorious and powerful inner image that you will literally change in your manner of life.Words form and create the inner image and produce a lifestyle after their kind.That is why it is so important to be careful what you hear and what you speak.Words are seeds. And your heart is the ground in which the seeds are planted.If the wrong seeds of despair and inability were planted they will produce after their kind.However, God's Word is powerful seeds of truth that can up-root the bad seeds and produce wonderful fruits in our lives.Through the affirmations of God's Word, we see ourselves and our conditions from His perspective and we are enabled to change things as His Word changes us on the inside.At one point in my life, I felt like I was a failure. It just seemed like I had not accomplished anything noteworthy with my life.And I was constantly plagued with the thought that I was a nobody.It was depressing.But thank God for His Word.Through affirming His Word over my life concerning the reality that I am a child of God, I rose above the depression that tried to hold me down.You see, God is my Father. And because I belong to Deity, the one thing I am not is worthless.I am His Child filled with His power, His Spirit and His Ability.I am created for good works in Jesus Christ.That means I am created to do some good things.And so are you.Ephesians 2:10 (King James Version of the Bible) "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, unto good works, which God had before ordained that we should walk in them."You are created to do good things. You are created to accomplish awesome things.Affirm this Word from Your Father, Jehovah God, over and over until it forms an inner image of success and victory on the inside of you.Let it wash away those destructive thoughts of worthlessness.God's Word in your heart, changing and shaping your mind in the light of His Truth, will change you.Change your mind through the power of meditation, and change your life.
