MIND OVER MATTER

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind . . .
~ Romans 12:2


Are there certain obligations that you’d rather take a whipping than tackle? Ever had things on your mind and dreaded doing them so badly, you stressed out just thinking of the matter?

Resistance and regret can back us into the worst kind of stressful corners. Because it’s our prerogative to decide how, when, and what to do, we often cater to negative thought patterns that generate high levels of stress.

Although the world screams, “Do whatever you want to,” circumstances and situations don’t always agree. Many times freedom of choice lures us between a rock and a hard place.

Our elders preached an incredible message on “Putting mind over matter.” According to the aged generation, it’s absolutely imperative to set the mind to do what needs to be done, over and above any ill feelings for undesirable matters.

To see how effective this philosophy is, select a couple of dreaded things that must be done. While proceeding to do them, speak the words “mind over matter” to yourself . . . convincingly, again and again.

Renew your mind and notice how stressful symptoms gradually fade away.

Because we are the masters of our minds, we must take authority over our minds . . . never ever vice-versa.


Peace I leave with you . . .
