As a man “thinketh” so is he. This is a time when you got to work on your mind
because your mind is being saturated and polluted with negative information, which is powerful.
I'm reminded of two individuals and one had a dismal prognosis from the doctor
on how long he's going to live, the other one is told, “hey,
your health is good, go live your life”.
Years later, when the firm had closed this practice and closed down,
the guy who was told that he has a terminal illness
came to find out that he didn't. There was a confusion and the record
that was told to him, he really had good health,
but he died a few months later because of what was told to him
and the guy who was told that, “you have good health”, he didn't.
He really had a prognosis that he should get his life in order,
because he's going to die soon and he went on to live for years.
What happened? The message that they received.
What are you listening to? What are you listening to?
So let's deal with the first thing that you have to do.
The first thing is you got to work on your mind, you got to work on you, you have to read
at least a minimum of 30 to 40 pages of something positive every day,
you have to turn off the television, don't listen to all this bad news,
it's not good for your mental, emotional and physical health.
It will poison your spirit, you got to turn it off.
You turn on television no matter where you go, it's everywhere.
So the first thing you got to do is create a positive mindset,
take the time to read something positive,
you've got to be hungry for a new way of life, you've got to be hungry to overcome the odds,
you've got to be hungry to not allow what's going on to get to you,
I'm telling you, this is important
because if your faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing,
if you listen to stuff over and over and over again, it will get to you.
You've got to remember who you are during tough times,
during tough times you have to remind yourself,
“I'm bigger than this, I'm stronger than this, I will get through this”.
So you have to create a positive mindset, reading positive things,
reading something that can inspire you, that can build you up,
I'm telling you what I know, you got to work on your mind.
As a man “thinketh” so is he. This is a time when you got to work on your mind
because your mind is being saturated and polluted with negative information, which is powerful.
If you look at television right now you will think that death is surrounding
your house and trying
to get in through any crack it can find, no, no, you've got to protect your mind.
Read something positive right now, start out and listen to motivational messages,
create a positive mindset, reading, listening to positive
messages saturate your mind, you should do a minimum
of three to four hours a day listening to positive stuff
to build your spirit from the inside out. We've never seen anything like this
in our lifetime, I'm seventy five years old,
excuse me, seventy five years young. We've never seen
anything like this, but guess what? It's not enough to say this too shall pass,
what's most important I think right now, we have the power to get through this
and to strengthen ourselves and to come out better on the other end of this.
That's what we must know, and there are some
things that can make that possible. And you have to be convicted in your spirit,
that's what hunger means, that you have a conviction in your spirit,
“I'm going to get through this, I'm going to find a way to make this work for me”.
