Thomas Alva Edison once said “what a man’s mind can create, man’s character can control.”
Our Divine Nature allows us to deliberately take control of our emotions and to consciously direct our thoughts toward anything that is:
- True
- Honest
- Just
- Pure
- Lovely
- Good report
- Virtue
- Praiseworthy
- Acceptable
- Perfect
(Philippians 4:8–9 , Romans 12:2)
For 30 days, I will say a Positivity Creed with my daughters, and I invite you to do the same. Here it is:
I believe my mind is my own.
I believe I can take possession of my own mind.
I believe I can direct and control my own emotions, moods, feelings, intellect, tendencies, attitudes, passions, and habits with the intention of developing a positive mental attitude.
I choose to think true thoughts, honest thoughts, just thoughts, pure thoughts, lovely thoughts, virtuous thoughts, praiseworthy thoughts, and thoughts of good report.
I will be transformed by the renewal of my mind.
I will develop a positive mental attitude.
Now, more than ever, I vow to “not be conformed to this world” and to discipline and control my mind. I assure if you do the same, you will enjoy better health and more happiness, and you will see a sweet promise fulfilled: “the God of peace will be with you.”
