Sunday Inspire – What Are You Feeding Your Brain?

Words used right can become our life’s “game changer”. We hear it every day – you are what you speak, you are your thoughts- we know how powerful dwelling on positive words and speaking positive words are, yet, how seriously do we take it?

I do not need science to show me or prove to me that we innately gravitate towards negative thinking and are quick to adopt a “poor me” mental syndrome and the entitlement attitude, always throwing pity parties. All of this is as a result of sin caused from the Adam and Eve debacle. So, surely it is up to us to change how we think, to turn our negative tendencies into positive ones so we can experience a different life; the very life that we admire in others.

What is the difference between people who are seemingly happy and the others who are constantly complaining? Could it possibly be the words and thoughts that they each have made their own? Why not allow ourselves to be happy by choosing to commit to being happy – it is as easy as saying “I am happy” repetitively. Why not stop looking at others happiness and wishing we were like them. There is a huge difference between I wish I was and saying I am.

In trying to be happy we also most times go about it the wrong way – it’s what I call the negative/positive affirmation – the wishing and hoping, and, to be specific, starting our thoughts with I don’t want to be. Saying I don’t want to be does nothing for us, most times we it brings whatever we don’t want right into our life. Remember Job when He said “the very thing I fear has come upon me. Read Job 3:20-25.

I may want to safely assume that we bring our fears to our circumstances just by dwelling on them.

So we should develop powerful “I am” statements instead, feeding our brain with positive thoughts and words. Forcing it to become subject to the words we speak. This facilitates a dramatic turnaround in our lives for the better of course.

I hasten to say this is a disciplined ongoing process that requires commitment. It really is going back to the baby stage and beginning once again to inculcate the good habits, allowing them to supersede our prior thought process.
