Change your mind and you can change your life!
Hey MSG Fam!
Shew!! I hit a small rough patch today. I mean I literally wanted to do nothing but lay in bed, cry and sleep. And since I was off today I did just that lol. We all have those days where life gets heavy and we want to check out even if it is for just a few hours.
The Danger Zone is where we hit those rough moments but don’t bounce back. We’re all human. Life can hit you like a sack of potatoes and knock you down and make you never wanna get back up again. This is where your strength comes.. In this moment YOU have the power to change your entire situation based off of how you respond . You have the choice to stay down and feel like a victim to your circumstances or you have the choice to get up and change ya mind!
When I was younger my mother would tell me “Elysha, think about what you’re thinking about”. I would get so mad bc all I could think was well am I am thinking about it which is why I’m feeling the way that I am lol. But what she meant was to give genuine consideration to the thoughts you’re having towards the situation that’s in front of you. Is it really THAT bad? How does it alter your life? Have you considered others perspectives? Are you contributing to this situation? Can you change it? If you cannot change it, pray for the peace to accept it and move on.
So this week I challenge you to all to change your minds!
Think about what you’re thinking about. If it will not matter in 5 years, 5 months, 5 weeks, 5 days or 5 hours… don’t waste more than 5 minutes on it.
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. ” Philippians 4:8
