"As a man thinks in his heart so is he." 1
Golfer Arnold Palmer has won hundreds of trophies, but does not present it to brag. His office only has a small trophy displayed. This is a small cup, received his first professional victory at the Canadian Open in 1955.
His office wall is a framed plaque, which read simply:
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, no.
If you want to win but think you can not,
It is almost certain that you do.
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is a man who thinks he can.
The life of struggles, challenges, successes and / or errors are all fought, won or lost in the mind.
"Keep your heart with diligence," says Solomon, and absent of life. "2 The Bible refers to the heart of the whole spirit, intellect, will and emotions and spirit of the guard with all care and commitment every day and trusts in God.
Living in the mind makes the body function. If you do not believe it, think about how temptation works. The first that come is an idea, then stop and continue to think about it to justify, and act on it accordingly. It is all too real: what your mind focuses on is acted upon by your body.
