Yes, this is sort of a trick question. Who is your boss? And no, it is probably not who you think.
- You are not really governed by anyone around you (even though you sometimes may think you are).
- In fact you are not directed by any outside influence, UNLESS you choose to be.
Now with that clue you have probably guessed by now that YOU are your own boss.
it is your will that needs to be in charge of your life.
However this creates a battle because your mind
WANTS to be your boss.
Yes that is right, your life is governed by YOUR choices!
Now you may already know this – great, but if you did not, did you notice the way I phrased the second to last sentence?
The real question is: Is your mind succeeding in lording it over you? Or, are you being “bossed around” by your mind?
Today I was reminded of this as I was reading over some my notes in my learning journal from the month of May. I came across the following quote by Mike Murdock.
Ah, yes your mind WANTS to master you, but it was created to be your servant. This means that you should be telling it what to think right? Your will needs to be in control of your life.
So the question is: Are you exercising your will over your mind every day, and telling it what to think? How can you do that?
Mike Murdock went on to say: God gave you a mouth to conquer your mind.
How do you conquer your mind?
You subject your mind to become your servant by the words that you speak.
Do this make sense to you?
What is the most important adjustment you need to make in your life today to make sure that your mind really is your servant?
Make the adjustment needed for your will to take control.
Do this every day, and your life will change!
