Mind Invaders

What's dominating your thoughts? We must remain on high alert when it comes to our mindset. There's always something grasping for our attention. Each day I think about what I'm thinking about and how it's influencing my choices. People will try to take over our beliefs by getting inside of our heads with their ideas. Some are very persuasive and will make you question the values you hold true and dear to your heart. There are ways we can protect ourselves from the often intrusive concept of others. I think it's important to listen respectfully to those who have a different point of view. Sometimes points can be made that we haven't thought about. I've learned to respect people's opinions without losing my personal convictions. There is a line of beliefs I hold that are important for me to live my life by. Allowing myself to be open to new concepts has served me well on my journey of personal development. It's all about knowing what to allow in and what to keep out. When reading books I may not agree with all the opinions of the writer, but I am able to learn and absorb the points that are beneficial to me. Biblical principle reminds us "to guard our heart with all diligence." Our heart is greatly affected by our thoughts. Hatred is planted in the mind and takes root in the heart. When wrong thoughts come to take over our minds we must immediately demolish them. Or they will conquer our thinking and in some cases destroy us. Life is always giving us options, we can choose what we dwell on. Be it good or bad, with either option our lives will bear the fruit of whatever we allow to influence our thoughts. Protect your mind, and never forget, we are unstuck and we are free!
