They say that on any given day the average person runs about 60,000 thoughts through their mind. What's amazing is that roughly 95% (54,000) of those thoughts are the same as the ones you thought the day before...The tyranny of impoverished thinking...
See your mind as what it is - a wonderful gift - full of all the potential God has for you locked within it. When it's all said & done - it's one of the very few things we truly have dominion over. What typically separates most people is how they interpret the events of their world...how they really think about it all...
When you learn to focus on the positive in life - your life will move into a higher dimension & capacity for living...
Think about it...

Taking Up Your Cross
How crazy is it - that when Jesus told us to take up our cross...that He was not associated with a cross yet?
To think - their image of what he was teaching, was simply a detestable form of execution...the worse of the worse died on a cross...Yet, He said that we are to take up our cross daily & that if we don't - we are not able to be His disciple. He must have been saying that, on a daily basis, we need to execute our old nature. The image is one of a violent confrontation needed to really overcome the old us.
When was the last time we really did something even close to that in trying to overcome the old us?
Peace
