 You must deliberately choose to dwell on your blessings rather than your blunders. Instead of dwelling on your losses, be grateful for your gains. Don't focus on what's gone. Instead, enjoy what's left. Proverbs 23, 7 states, As a man thinks, so is he. This means that your thoughts can define you. You must lasso in those renegade thoughts and take them captive to obey Christ. Your mind must master your emotions.
