Day 8: Sound Mind

A sound mind is a stable mind, a healthy mind, a reliable mind, a well-built mind in good condition, a calm and well-balanced mind, an undisturbed mind, a composed mind, with mental stability and a clear mind.

A sound mind is a mind that is not tossed to and fro with the winds of doubt, fear, worries, anxiety, guilt, evil, envy, revenge, hatred or jealousy. It is a mind that knows its worth and values.

It is a mind that can comprehend, assimilate, discern and make sound decisions. It is not lazy or passive; neither is it looking for others to think and decide for it.

A sound mind is large enough to accept others, not judging, not condemning, and not criticizing. It is not proud and not boastful; rather it is a mind that has considerations for others and esteems others.

If you have a sound mind, you will have sound relationships with people. For your thoughts to positively affect the expression of your temperament you must possess a sound mind.

You can have a sound mind if you want it because it has been given.*

*God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2Tim.1:7

MIND FAST

And Jesus said,   “The things that come out of people are the things that make them unclean.   All these evil things begin inside people, in the mind: evil thoughts, sexual sins, stealing, murder, adultery,   greed, evil actions, lying, doing sinful things, jealousy, speaking evil of others, pride, and foolish living.   All these evil things come from inside and make people unclean.” Mark 7:20-23 (NCV) A lot of people have left their thoughts loose over a long period of time and have allowed their thoughts to lead them to life of defeat. If this is you, you can choose to change your thinking, you can choose to have a Winning Mind rather than a defeated mind.  The first step towards a Winning Mind is the purging of the mind of all defeating thought. Hence, engage in a mind fast. A  fast is not done by accident, it requires conscious effort.  A mind fast is a conscious effort to starve your mind of any thought that is evil, filthy, covetous, anxious, fearful, negative and the likes.

Day 3: The Sanguine and his thoughts

He loves an easy and simple thought-life. He loves to think of life and activities as happy, lively and fun. This makes his mind free of worries, troubles and fear. His lively and fun-loving mind seem to always have its bank full of jokes and funny stories that generously and effortlessly flows out of his mouth. However, he exhibits a shallow thinking pattern by avoiding in-depth, problem-solving, solution - based thinking. His mind is greatly controlled by the outward force of emotion. His mind is like a leaf blown by the wind of what he sees, hears, tastes and feels. This makes him give complements such as: 'how beautiful', 'how colourful', 'how delicious', 'how lovely' and so on. His mind engages in minimal thought processing which is a limiting factor. He suffers forgetfulness and tends to being apologetic so often. When a he is scolded or told off, he soon forgets what he was corrected on and makes the same mistake again, then apologises.  It

Day 27: A positive mind

The earth was without form, and void; and darkness  was [ a ]  on the face of the deep...T hen God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. Gen.1:2-3 (NKJV) A Winning Mind is a positive mind. A positive mind sees possibility in all situation even when physically the situation does not look possible. When you think positively, you speak positively, you act positively and you are most likely to get positive result.  In an attempt to be realistic, all some people ever think and say is the negative, no wonder, there are many negative and poor results around. God was positive. Though physically there was darkness, He had light in mind, therefore He spoke light and the result was light. Think positive thoughts. Reflection : What you see is what you say; what you say is what you have.
