*** It is necessary for you to renew your mind frequently! Because unless we learn to fix our mind's eye on the truth; you will be miserable and often mislead! The truth of God will set you free ***

Remember; it starts with what you read and listen to...
This is where the proper type of material or exposure comes into play. You should seek positive things more than any other to give advantage to your attitude!
ATTITUDE:
by: Charles Swindoll
" The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes."
** This best advice for you to consider!
“Dear friends think upon these things: whatever is : - true, worthy, reverence, honorable, just, pure, lovely, lovable, kind, winsome, gracious… or if there is any virtue and excellent, if there be any thing worthy of praise, think upon these things by fixing your mind upon them - so that you will have the peace of God upon you! “
- Philippians 4:8 – 9
Since there are two different sides of the moral dilemma within people, you must recognize the good side vs the destructive!
Basically evil is of the Devil; negative and deceptive!
Satan usually deceives people by getting them into thinking that the source of their misery or trouble is something other than what is true! He uses deceit and confusion to gain your confidence in his plans... He wants you (anyone) to think that you are unhappy because of what going on around us {circumstances} yet the real misery is actually due to what is going on inside your {your thoughts} mind…
Since evil (Satan) can do nothing unless you will it and do it; he is limited to a game of mind control! He brings thoughts and images into your mind which causes you to see the truth in a different light! He gets you to go along with his plans and by convincing you that this is best for you! i.e. The big lie!
How do you thing he talked Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden? He made them see everything in a new selfish point of view thus disregarding the truth! They were led to believe that even though they were in Paradise {which mean everything was perfect} that they need more! This is called the self centered approach; which has been the leading cause of getting people to sin and fail!
** Remember God gave humans freedom to choose either success or failure! Personal greed and desires have tended to lead toward failure for many! What you say? Just stop and look at whom ever you want and then notice how this battle in their mind has worked out! For good or bad - notice the crime, full prisons and all the wars; this should tell the complete stroy!
Therefore once you come to see some of your problems; then when you come to choose the true moral standard of God, you will on your way to freedom very quickly! Only thinking about the truth and the positive moral side will allow you to prevail…
The part we will consider next is the condition of your (our) mind!
… Stop back!
