Your mind is the place where your destiny lies. It's the only place that really defines you and your future, because it is where all your positivites and negativities are created.
I like to think that there are three persons in a man/woman:
Of these three, ' who you truly are' is what defines you and that is determined by your mindset. Many atimes, we feel and speak negatively about ourselves because of societal or household norms or beliefs.
The devil, in various occasions, would want to make us feel inferior or less than ourselves when we are down, but when we learn to imitate Jesus a practical example of purpose. He never allowed the deeds of the Pharisees, Lawyers or Sadducees dissuade him from his original purpose.... he was very resolute.
As Bob Gass would say " choose to feel better not bitter". We can only feel better in any situation, when we choose to find a solution to our problems. If you're so bent/focused on the circumstance surrounding you've already been defeated and even God would have a hard time helping you out of it cause he is one to respect choice.
Having the right mindset always is the deal; no one can make us feel Inferior without our consent (Eleanor Roosevelt).
Critics are one type of people that we would surely come across in life: people who thinks they know it all and then go about condemning others, but no matter what they do or say, ' you are still in control of how you feel'.
Thoughts are not ours when they come into our mind, they become ours when we let them move in and rearrange the furniture (Bob Gass). 2 Corinthians tells us to take captive of our every thought. When we take captive of our thoughts, we become unbreakable and undefeatable.
In conclusion, we should learn to accept ourselves the way we are, leaving room for improvements, that's the only way the world could recognize us. It all starts from within.
Hope you had a pleasant read, thanks for the visit...
