Day 7: Love

The antidote to selfishness is LOVE.

To the Sanguine that loves to speak, "If [you] speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, [you] are a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal".

To the analytical Melancholy "if [you] have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, but [you] have not love, [you] are nothing."

To the optimistic Choleric that loves to work "if [you] have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, [you] are nothing.

To the Phlegmatic, even if [you] give away all [you] have, and deliver up [your] body to be burned, but have not love, [you] gain nothing.

This is the definition of Love: Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
In love, we think better, with love, we live together.

1 Corinthians 13:1-7 (ESV)

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.
