OVERCOMING NEGATIVE INNER DIALOGUE

Trust requires Courage

---

The mind is powerful. It is more powerful than any weapon ever invented - governments, societies and foundations have spent millions to try to influence it. 

A private inner thought can put you on top of the world, or make you want to hide away from everyone and every thing.

Our mind is where we experience our relationship with Jesus, make choices, try to make sense of what we see, what we hear, taste and feel.  It is also the place where we judge ourselves.

Let's zoom into the judgment process - this process is like a courtroom of life experience and external influence making an argument against you or the situation- presenting its case to you- the judge. 

You consider its argument and allow yourself to agree or disagree. If we, as the judge, allow it, truth can also present its case for us to consider.
