Our attitude toward any current circumstance we face in our life is a direct result of our subconscious perspective of self-worth and the agreement or disagreement with other voices in our mind who try to influence our decision of who we believe we are.
What are you feeding your mind? What content are you allowing to enter through the window of your eyes, the gates of your ears?
They weren’t kidding when they spoke of food for thought. Whatever content your eyes and ears feast upon is what your mind absorbs as truth.
Our mind is the battle field of life. In a battle would you allow the enemy to hypnotize you and take advantage of you, steal from you, hurt your loved ones, even allow death to kill you while in the enemies trance? No! Of course we wouldn’t, I sure would do everything I could to not be caught off guard!
Why do we mindlessly allow all sorts of seemingly innocent, yet destructive things to enter our minds undetected? How come the radar of our mind isn’t detecting or altering us when we receive disguised junk from the public? How desensitized are we becoming?
Ask yourself, am I becoming and believing and subtly parroting the media and content I allow to enter the gates of my eyes and ears? Reality, we all are. Take a second to think about your friends and family and the things they watch, listen to, read – their brain food. Notice any correlations?
Friends, our brain food is crucial to who we believe we are.
Most of us doubt, even disbelieve we are valuable creatures! Could that be because of what my ears listen to, what I read, what I watch?….what you, he, she or we are listening to, reading, or watching?
The world plays its influence as its innocence, harmless, fun. Do you feel satisfied; fulfilled from what they serve you? Is it feeding your soul the food it needs to feel full?
Most of us have lost the fight in us, but I refuse! I’m not giving up my fight for life; I’m not giving up my fight for truth.
I hope you keep the fight in you, too.
Next time you turn on the music, turn on the T.V., pick up a book, ask it – is what your’e feeding me, is what you’re telling me, hopeful, pure, lovely, just?
If it’s not, maybe this time you’ll choose to turn it off, put it down and go to something that is hopeful, pure and lovely.
And if you don’t, that’s okay, just remember, whatever it is you’re feeding your mind, that is the reality you are going to believe and, perhaps, fight for.
