What’s the healthiest food for thought? I believe it is whatever is true, honest, just, pure, and lovely. I feed my mind with hope, love, encouragement, kindness, compassion, goodness, and a big helping of joy for dessert.
When people are driven, dominated, and compelled by desires, feelings, and opinions, they ignore conscience, kindness, compassion, and mature thinking. Proudly boasting that they are free, they are slaves blown about by the deceptive winds of whims, emotions, and wants.
There is a better way to live — the way of true freedom. Falsehood enslaves you in deception, but honesty will set you free. When you remove feelings and desires from the driver’s seat of your life and replace them with the humble, self-denying search to align your thoughts, words, and actions with truth-telling rather than with pride, your feelings and desires can no longer control you. You will be able to feast on hope! Begin today to feed your mind with healthy food for thought.
Amen!!
