You Are in Control

You have the power to control your thoughts and decisions. Choose positivity, reject negativity, and embrace your free will. Remember, your mindset shapes your reality!"
You may not feel like it, but it's a fact that you are in control. No one can force you to do anything. You have free will, and you choose whether you will or won't do something. No matter how much God wants something for you, it's up to you to decide whether you will do it. You determine whether you will say yes or no.
You can change your mind about something and take control of your thoughts. You can control your thinking and refuse to think specific thoughts. You have the power. When a thought enters your mind, decide whether you are going to think that thought or not. Is that thought going to help you or discourage you?
If you choose to think the wrong thought, then nobody can be blamed for the path you go on but you. This is a hard and harsh reality, but it's your mind; no one can control it but you.
I don't know about you, but I feel I have to take greater care about what I think about, what I let into my thought life. Before you know it, depression and anxious thoughts step in, and I start on a downhill spiral. I'm the only one who can restrict its access to my mind; ultimately, it's my life and my will.
I speak to the negative thoughts in the name of Jesus, rebuke them and cast them out, and forbid their entering my mind. I may have to do this several times daily until the thought loses its power over me.
I claim the truth from God's Word and speak life over my life and not death. I encourage myself with the promises from God's Word and refuse the lies from the enemy.
You become what you think. What are you thinking? Imagine how your life could change if you focused on optimism and gratitude! Each positive thought is a stepping stone toward a brighter reality. Don’t just let life happen to you—actively shape it with your mindset.
Challenge yourself today: shift your perspective, reject the negative, and watch how your world transforms. Remember, the power to change your life lies within you!
Amazing. Thought provoking. Loved it
Wow, love what you’ve written here! I started a part time job at a local nursing home 2 weeks, as an Activities Assistant. My job is to visit the bedridden residents in their rooms, one to one, & help with activities in their rooms sunroom , which can include bible study, bingo, games, watching movies, etc. I love it so far! When I go visit a resident, I walk in with a big smile on my face, ask how they are, & just listen. They have so much wisdom and knowledge to share.
Love this!
Had a Women’s Healthcare appointment today and the doctor commented several times how good I looked and how happy I was. It’s thanks to people like you who don’t tell us how to feel but reaffirm what we already feel and know exists inside of us. It’s like being given permission. I love the comments about positivity and my choice to accept or reject it.
I will have you know… I choose happiness!!
