5 Evil Things you shouldn't Habour In Your Mind

When you entertain certain thoughts in the privacy of your own mind. You may be tempted to excuse yourself by saying what harm can it do? It can do a lot of harm. It directly or indirectly becomes what you meditate on. However you think so you are. See also what you believe makes you

If you can go down it doesn't start with an act, it starts with a thought, that is when evil sets out to tear you down. You must know that thoughts are not yours just because they come into your mind. No, they only become yours when you allow them move in and rearrange the furniture.

5 Evil Things You Shouldn't Harbour in Your Mind


1. Your Past

Your past has no business with your future. When the holy book says, "do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old" (Isaiah 43 Vs 18) meanwhile if you must embrace new things in your life you must put aside old things. 

A thought left to ramble through your mind,  can attach itself to a weakness or an event in your past and feed on it. The stronger it grows the weaker you become, until finally all your strength is drained away. Let that not happen to you. Meanwhile take your thoughts captive before they take you captive. 


2. Hurt

Take off old thinking, the old hurt, old thinking patterns,  old attitudes and old behaviours. Your unwillingness to accept life as it is will only keep your blood pressure high and your contentment level low. So relax and learn to enjoy yourself more. People think they know the best for you. Don't allow their choice for you get into you and make you expect more and get hurt on the process. That is self scolding and blaming yourself for your failure to the point of thinking of suicide as a result of self resentment. Read also how bad resentment could be


3. Revenge  

Have the right mind-set, feed your mind with positive thoughts. Don't consider to revenge by attaching your failure or taking revenge on those who oppose your success. Those are your strength. You learn from them and it brushes aside relenting spirit and gears up your zeal and will-mind to pursue your dream. The greatest revenge against those who would want to bring you down is happiness. And focus on your goals to achieve your dreams. Don't let dream be your dream.


4. Unfulfilled mind

People think that when you talk about contentment you are against their progress. Contentment never comes from externals. To whom "little is not enough", "nothing is ever enough". Get off the idea that "more is better". If more is better, we ought to be the happiest humans on the planet because Africa is blessed already. But are we happy? The idea for more can be insatiable. As long as you believe more is better you will never be satisfied, because you will never live long enough to get all. Think when you get something or achieve something, do you even take time to enjoy it? Or do you just move on to the next event without stopping? 

So the next time "more is better" hits you remind yourself that it doesn't work, because the same mind-set that wants more will want even more later. And if you don't want to get old too soon listen to His voice. Being pulled in too many directions, drains your joy and causes you to give less than your best.


5. Sadness 

The greatest problem of one is not being at peace with oneself. Not being at peace with yourself can cause you a lot of harm or damage. Anger and sadness can never be a solution to your problems rather weakness and set back. Stop wishing your life away. When you push yourself beyond boundaries of wisdom, you suffer exactly the same results as those who burn out in any other endeavour. Learn to relax. Calm your nerves and worry no more. Make stress work for you not against you. Read also Stress and sources of stress

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
