Do You Run Your Mind?

Posted By: Esther Pinkston on February 02, 2011


"Ask yourself, "Who runs your mind?" Now,before you jump the gun so to speak, answer these questions: Do you watch TV? Do you program yourself with the mass media? They don't call it TV programming for no reason at all! Who else do you allow to influence you? Who you hang out with is who you become. Friends adopt traits of friends.

Most people I meet are living what I term "accidental lifestyles." They allow external influences and circumstances to randomly lead them to whatever lifestyle they are living. Contrast this with a purposeful, goal-directed lifestyle where everything is designed.



People who are living the lives of their dreams are doing that by design. It does not happen accidentally; you have to make it happen. Realize that you and only you have complete control over your own thoughts. Any emotion that you experience that causes you to take action or that keeps you incapacitated is an emotion that you have given power. People are not helpless automatons floating through space responding to everything without any choices. You can choose which emotions to give power to, and which to leave behind." by Kent Sayre
