MENTAL DIET: HOW TO PROTECT THE GATES TO YOUR LIFE
THE EYE GATE
What we see, watch, and read implants subtly but surely images in our minds. And these mental images play frequently on the screen of our imagination and eventually manifest themselves in our behavior, experience, and the events of our lives.
What kind of Television content and movies do you choose to watch? What kind of images or information do you give your attention to on the internet? Do all these support the kind of person you will deeply love and be proud to be identified with? Will these support a high-soaring destiny?
Here’s the catch, what you choose to watch and read creates images within you and determines the level of consciousness you function from and thus determines your behavior and the eventual outcome of your life.
Therefore, we must guard what we allow our minds to feed on through our eyes.
THE EAR GATE
What we hear forms images within and determines our feelings or the emotions in our lives. It determines the content or the quality of our self-talk or internal communication that goes on within us forming our self-image and our perception of people, life, and our world.
Prolonged association with negative people results in protracted association with a negative mindset which shapes your habits, mannerism, attitude, and eventually your circumstances.
Therefore, we must take heed of what and to who we pay attention.
THE MOUTH GATE
Our words reveal the content of our minds. Our words affect our attitude and the attitude of others. Therefore, we should choose words that build; uplift and bless both our lives and the lives of people we have dealings with.
Therefore, we need to shut out the negatives and create our own environment that supports unlimited growth and expansion and also guards our hearts against opposing forces.
