An Act Of Renewing Your Mind
Whatever is pumped into my mind affects how I move, act, feel, respond, and behave. I guess you could conclude correctly that I am simply a sum of the thoughts I ingest and latch onto. Each day my mind is exposed to negative toxins, what I call raw sewage of angst, turmoil, and dread. Daily I encounter, negative vibrations, streaming from various sources, all threatening to destroy my peace and get me to focus on problems instead of awesome possibilities.
A sea of misery sprouting from a stream of discontent and uncertainty all rush forward to cover my mind and stagnant like a dead sea filled with worry and doubt. Regurgitated venom is spewed from the tongues of the faithless and it stains my ears seeping unproductive thoughts to my brain. Imagines of things that are less than victorious are plastered before my eyes on my daily commute. These sights are then converted to messages, that are sent to pollute and contaminate my thoughts. Then there is the echo from the band of complainers, whiners and grippers that sing their chorus of poison like a destructive lyric which forms a grim song of peril.
Flaming tongues, blaze forth like a creature, from the pit of an hellacious fire spewing lies and gossip. These death-producing words cling to the corners of my mind begging me to feast upon them.
That is why my daily practice is to renew my mind and focus on my blessing s instead of dwelling upon what I do not have. I must speak words that up lift and dwell on things that are productive instead of destructive. I must sweeten the soul, so that the mind will be detoxified of bitterness. I must protect my heart from the deadly practice of ingratitude and instead sprout words of praise and thanksgiving it is an act of renewing the mind.
