3:18 Hallelujah let's go deeper into this
3:21 truth today the word spoken have power
3:23 beyond what many
3:25 realize every word carries weight
3:27 shaping circumstances influencing
3:30 emotions and setting the course of life
3:32 scripture declares that life and death
3:35 are in the power of the tongue words can
3:37 build up or tear down they can bring
3:40 peace or stir conflict they can release
3:44 Faith or spread fear what is spoken over
3:46 oneself over others and over
3:49 situations determines what takes root in
3:51 the heart and mind controlling the mouth
3:54 is not just about avoiding negativity it
3:57 is about intentionally speaking words
4:02 that align with truth wisdom and purpose
4:04 many people find themselves trapped not
4:07 by external forces but by their own
4:10 words they speak defeat over their lives
4:14 without even realizing it they say I
4:17 can't do this nothing ever works out for
4:19 me I'll never be
4:22 successful and those words become self-fulfilling
4:24 self-fulfilling
4:26 prophecies the enemy does not always
4:28 need to attack
4:30 openly sometimes
4:32 all he needs to do is influence the
4:35 words spoken until doubt fear and
4:38 negativity take control but those who
4:42 understand the power of the tongue know
4:46 that words must be carefully
4:51 chosen speaking in faith declaring
4:55 truth and aligning speech with God's promises
4:56 promises
5:00 change every Jesus demonstrat The Power
5:02 of Words throughout his ministry he
5:06 spoke and the storm was calmed he spoke
5:09 and demons fled he spoke and the sick
5:12 were healed his words carried Authority
5:14 because they were in perfect alignment
5:17 with truth the same principle applies
5:19 today when words reflect Faith rather
5:22 than fear truth rather than doubt and
5:24 wisdom rather than
5:28 foolishness they carry power but when
5:31 words are careless
5:33 when they are filled with
5:36 negativity when they are spoken without
5:39 thought they can bring unnecessary
5:42 hardship controlling the mouth also
5:44 means knowing when to be silent not
5:46 every thought needs to be spoken not
5:48 every situation needs commentary and not
5:51 every argument requires
5:53 participation many conflicts arise
5:55 simply because people do not have
5:57 control over their words they speak in
5:59 Anger they respond impulsively they
6:02 engage in unnecessary debates and as a
6:04 result tension
6:08 increases but wisdom teaches that
6:11 silence can be more powerful than words
6:14 choosing to remain quiet when emotions
6:18 are high when negativity is present or
6:21 when words will not bring benefit is a
6:27 sign of true discipline gossip criticism
6:29 and careless speech can also be
6:32 destructive it is easy to fall into
6:34 conversations that tear others down that
6:37 spread negativity that fuel division but
6:39 every word spoken is a
6:42 seed and seeds produce
6:45 fruit those who constantly speak poorly
6:47 of others will find themselves
6:49 surrounded by negativity but those who
6:52 choose to Speak Life to speak
6:54 encouragement to declare good things
6:57 over others will find that their words
6:59 bring blessing not only to those who
7:00 hear them
7:02 but to themselves as
7:05 well it is not enough to Simply avoid
7:07 negative words words must be
7:09 intentionally used for good speaking
7:12 life means declaring blessings over
7:16 situations even when they do not look
7:19 favorable it means choosing to encourage
7:21 rather than criticize to build rather
7:24 than tear down to speak Solutions rather
7:25 than dwell on
7:28 problems speaking life is an Act of
7:31 Faith a declaration that circumstances
7:33 do not determine the future God's
7:36 promises do the discipline of
7:39 controlling the mouth also requires
7:42 self-awareness many people speak without
7:45 realizing the impact of their words they
7:47 react rather than respond they vent
7:49 frustrations without considering how it
7:51 affects those around them but taking
7:55 control means pausing before speaking
7:58 weighing words carefully and choosing
8:00 speech that reflects wisdom and
8:02 understanding the goal is not just to
8:05 avoid saying the wrong things but to be
8:08 intentional about saying the right
8:12 things every word spoken has an impact
8:15 words shape identity influence emotions
8:17 and even affect physical well-being
8:20 those who consistently speak negatively
8:23 over themselves often struggle with
8:25 confidence while those who declare truth
8:29 and encouragement walk in Greater peace
8:32 words have the ability to shift
8:35 atmospheres to change perspectives to
8:37 open doors and to bring
8:40 breakthroughs those who learn to control
8:43 their mouths walk in a higher level of
8:45 authority wisdom and strength they
8:48 refuse to allow caress words to create unnecessary
8:50 unnecessary
8:54 battles instead they choose to use their
8:58 words to align with truth to build faith
9:00 and to Speak Life
9:03 into every situation they face emotions
9:05 are powerful and when they are left
9:07 unchecked they can dictate actions
9:11 influence decisions and even damage
9:13 relationships many people live as though
9:15 they have no control over their emotions
9:17 reacting to situations rather than
9:19 responding with wisdom but emotions
9:22 should serve not rule the ability to
9:25 control mood is not about suppressing
9:27 emotions it is about mastering them so
9:29 that they do not dictate behavior in way
9:31 that leads to regret stability and
9:34 emotions brings strength and
9:38 strength leads to a life that is not
9:40 easily shaken by external
9:42 circumstances one of the greatest
9:44 dangers of uncontrolled emotions is that
9:46 they cause people to act in ways they later
9:47 later
9:50 regret anger leads to Words that cannot
9:54 be taken back frustration leads to
9:57 decisions made in haste fear leads to
10:00 hesitation that prevents progress
10:02 sadness leads to withdrawal from people
10:06 who care when emotions rule actions
10:09 become reactive rather than
10:11 intentional but when mood is controlled
10:13 choices are made based on wisdom rather
10:16 than impulse there is power in the
10:19 ability to remain steady to think
10:22 clearly even in moments of high emotion
10:25 to be anchored rather than tossed by
10:27 every wave of
10:31 feeling Jesus did demonstrated complete
10:34 control over his emotions he experienced
10:37 sorrow anger compassion and joy but he
10:39 never allowed his emotions to dictate
10:42 his actions in an unwise manner when he
10:45 was betrayed he did not respond in
10:47 hatred when he was accused he did not
10:50 lash out when he faced the cross he did
10:54 not allow fear to turn him away from his
10:58 purpose he felt deeply but he acted wisely
11:00 wisely
11:04 this is the example of emotional Mastery
11:07 acknowledging emotions without being
11:09 ruled by them some people live on an
11:11 emotional roller coaster constantly
11:13 moving between highs and lows when
11:15 things are going well they're happy and
11:17 full of Hope but the moment something
11:19 goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts
11:22 and they spiral into discouragement or
11:24 frustration this instability prevents
11:26 growth because it keeps a person at the
11:29 mercy of the circumstances true
11:31 emotional strength is found in
11:33 consistency in the ability to remain
11:36 calm and steady regardless of what is
11:38 happening externally life is
11:41 unpredictable but emotions do not have
11:45 to be stability comes from the ability
11:50 to control what is within even when what is
11:52 is
11:56 outside is uncertain one of the keys to
11:57 controlling mood is
12:00 self-awareness many people do not take
12:01 the time to recognize what triggers
12:04 their emotions they allow situations
12:06 people and even past experiences to
12:08 dictate how they feel without ever
12:10 pausing to examine why they're reacting
12:13 in a certain way but self-awareness is
12:17 is the first step to self-control when a
12:18 person understands their emotional
12:21 triggers they can take steps to
12:24 respond differently instead of reacting
12:26 out of habit they can
12:29 pause reflect and choose
12:34 a response that aligns with wisdom and
12:37 maturity another key to emotional
12:40 Mastery is guarding the mind what a
12:43 person feeds their mind directly
12:45 influences their emotions negative
12:47 thoughts produce negative feelings
12:50 dwelling on past failures brings
12:53 discouragement constantly consuming bad
12:56 news creates anxiety but when the mind
12:59 is filled with truth with positive
13:02 ations with the promises of God emotions
13:07 begin to shift Joy replaces sadness
13:09 peace replaces
13:12 anxiety confidence replaces doubt
13:14 controlling mood begins with controlling
13:17 what the Mind focuses on prayer and
13:20 meditation on God's word are also
13:22 powerful Tools in stabilizing emotions
13:25 when emotions are overwhelming stepping
13:28 into a place of prayer brings Clarity
13:31 when frustration Rises pausing to seek
13:34 God's presence brings calm when worry
13:37 tries to take over reminding oneself of
13:39 God's promises brings
13:42 peace the presence of God has the power
13:45 to realign emotions to replace
13:49 instability with strength to turn chaos
13:52 into calm setting boundaries is another
13:55 important aspect of mood control some
13:57 people allow themselves to be surrounded
14:01 by negativity by toxic conversations by
14:04 situations that drain them emotionally
14:06 but guarding peace means choosing what
14:09 to engage with and what to walk away
14:11 from it means recognizing that not every
14:13 battle is worth fighting not every
14:15 offense is worth addressing not every
14:19 situation deserves an emotional response
14:21 wisdom is knowing when to step
14:25 back when to stay silence and when to
14:28 redirect energy toward things that bring growth
14:29 growth
14:33 and peace mastering mood does not mean
14:36 ignoring emotions it means understanding
14:39 them processing them wisely and refusing
14:42 to let them dictate
14:44 actions it is about developing a spirit
14:46 that is unshaken a heart that is steady
14:49 a mind that is disciplined emotions are
14:51 meant to be felt but they are not meant
14:52 to be in
14:54 control those who learn to control their
14:57 mood walk in Greater peace make better decisions
14:59 decisions
15:01 and live a life that is not dictated by
15:04 fleeting feelings but by lasting
15:08 wisdom money is a tool not a master it
15:11 is meant to be controlled not to
15:13 control many people struggle with
15:15 financial issues not because they lack
15:17 income but because they lack discipline
15:19 they spend without a plan live beyond
15:21 their means and allow money to dictate
15:25 their emotions relationships and
15:27 decisions but Financial stability is not
15:30 about how much is earned it is about how
15:34 well what is earned is man when money is
15:36 controlled with wisdom it brings
15:39 security Peace and Freedom when it is
15:43 mismanaged it brings stress worry and
15:45 bondage one of the greatest Financial
15:47 mistakes people make is living for
15:48 immediate gratification they spend
15:50 impulsively seeking temporary
15:53 satisfaction without considering long-term
15:54 long-term
15:56 consequences they buy things they do not
15:59 need using money they do not have
16:01 to impress people who are not paying
16:03 attention this cycle of impulsive
16:05 spending creates Financial stress and
16:07 debt leading to a life where money
16:10 becomes a burden instead of a blessing
16:12 true Financial wisdom is found in the
16:15 ability to delay
16:18 gratification to prioritize needs over
16:22 wants and to understand that real wealth
16:24 is not in
16:27 possessions but in Financial Freedom the
16:31 world encourages a mindset of excess
16:34 bigger houses newer cars more luxury but
16:36 accumulation without wisdom leads to financial
16:37 financial
16:40 strain many people assume that if they
16:43 just made more money their financial
16:44 problems would
16:47 disappear but income is not the issue stewardship
16:49 stewardship
16:52 is there are those who make little yet
16:55 live with peace and there are those who
16:57 make much yet are drowning in death
17:00 Financial control begins with mindset
17:03 with understanding that money is a
17:06 resource that must be managed
17:09 wisely rather than spent
17:12 recklessly budgeting is one of the most
17:15 powerful tools for financial
17:17 control many avoid it because they do
17:19 not want to feel restricted but in
17:23 reality a budget provides Freedom it
17:25 ensures that money is being used
17:27 intentionally that there is a plan for
17:29 every dollar that finan decisions align
17:31 with long-term
17:34 goals without a budget money is easily
17:38 wasted small unnecessary expenses add up
17:40 over time and before realizing it
17:42 financial resources are depleted on
17:44 things that bring
17:47 no lasting value but with a plan in
17:51 place money serves its
17:55 purpose rather than disappearing without
17:57 accountability another key to financial
17:58 control is learning the difference
18:02 between between needs and wants many
18:04 Financial struggles come from confusing
18:09 the two a need is essential food shelter
18:13 Health stability a want is extra luxury
18:15 items entertainment upgrades that are not
18:17 not
18:19 necessary there is nothing wrong with
18:21 enjoying money but when Once are
18:24 prioritized over needs financial
18:26 problems arise a wise person learns to
18:29 be content to live within their means to
18:33 appreciate what they have rather than
18:36 constantly chasing more contentment does
18:39 not mean settling it means having peace
18:41 with what is already provided while
18:44 working toward greater Financial wisdom
18:48 debt is another burden that many carry
18:51 unnecessarily some debt is unavoidable
18:53 but much of it is a result of poor
18:57 financial choices credit cards loans for
18:59 things that are not as ential living
19:01 beyond Financial
19:04 limits these habits create a cycle of financial
19:06 financial
19:10 bondage the borrower is servant to the
19:14 lender debt removes Freedom causing
19:17 stress and limiting choices but
19:19 Financial control
19:23 means making decisions that prevent
19:26 unnecessary debt that focus on Financial
19:30 Health rather than moment AR
19:33 desires it means paying off obligations
19:34 avoiding unnecessary borrowing and
19:36 creating a future that is not weighed
19:38 down by Financial
19:41 chains saving and investing are crucial
19:43 aspects of financial control many people
19:46 live paycheck to paycheck not because
19:48 they must but because they have never
19:51 developed the habit of saving having
19:53 Financial reserves provide security in
19:56 times of Crisis investing wisely allows
19:59 money to grow rather than disappear
20:01 those who understand financial
20:02 principles know that money should be
20:05 working for them not just being spent
20:07 without thought they recognize the
20:10 importance of planning for the future
20:12 rather than living only for the present
20:14 generosity is also a key part of
20:16 financial wisdom money is not meant to
20:17 be hoarded it is meant to be used for
20:20 good those who give who bless others who
20:22 use their resources to help rather than
20:24 just accumulate find that their
20:26 financial lives are more fulfilled
20:29 giving does not decrease wealth it
20:32 increases blessing it creates a mindset
20:35 of abundance rather than lack true
20:37 financial success is not just about
20:40 having more but about using what is
20:43 given wisely and
20:46 purposefully Financial control requires
20:50 disciplined patience and a shift in
20:53 mindset it means making intentional
20:56 choices rather than reacting to
20:58 circumstances it means understanding
21:00 thatone money is a tool to be used not a
21:03 source of identity or
21:05 security those who Master Financial
21:08 discipline walk in Greater peace knowing
21:12 that they are not ruled by money but are
21:15 in control of how they use it the mind
21:18 is the battlefield where victories and
21:21 defeats begin every action decision and
21:24 outcome in life starts as a thought if
21:27 the mind is filled with doubt negativity
21:29 and fear
21:31 those thoughts will eventually manifest
21:34 in actions and habits that reflect them
21:37 but if the mind is guarded disciplined
21:39 and focused on truth it becomes a source
21:43 of strength Clarity and purpose what a
21:45 person allows to dwell in their mind
21:48 shapes their future influences their
21:51 emotions and determines their ability to
21:56 succeed controlling the mind is not an
21:59 option it is a necessity
22:02 for living a life of Peace wisdom and
22:04 purpose many people live their lives at
22:06 the mercy of their thoughts they allow
22:08 worries to consume them fears to
22:10 paralyze them and negative experiences
22:12 from the past to Define them they
22:14 entertain thoughts of failure of
22:16 rejection of impossibility and then
22:18 wonder why they struggle to move
22:21 forward but the mind is not meant to be
22:23 a Dumping Ground for every negative idea
22:26 that comes along it must be guarded with
22:29 intention disciplined with wisdom and
22:32 aligned with truth just as a garden must
22:35 be maintained to keep out weeds the Mind
22:38 must be cultivated to keep out
22:41 destructive thoughts scripture teaches
22:44 that as a person thinks so they become
22:46 this means that what fills the mind will
22:49 eventually shape Behavior habits and
22:51 identity if the mind is constantly
22:54 focused on problems life will feel
22:57 overwhelming if the mind is focused on
22:59 lack there will always be sense of not
23:01 having enough but if the mind is focused
23:06 on Solutions on possibilities on faith and
23:07 and
23:09 growth then opportunities and
23:12 breakthroughs will begin to appear the
23:15 mind is powerful and what is fed into it
23:18 determines what will come out of it one
23:20 of the greatest dangers of an
23:21 undisciplined mind is that it easily
23:23 becomes influenced by external voices
23:25 the world is full of opinions
23:27 distractions and noise that compete for
23:29 attention social Media news and
23:31 conversations filled with negativity can
23:33 slowly shape thinking without even
23:38 realizing it a mind that is not guarded
23:40 will absorb these
23:43 influences allowing fear doubt and
23:46 anxiety to take root but controlling the
23:49 Mind means being selective about what is
23:53 allowed in it means filtering out
23:56 negativity avoiding unnecessary
23:59 distractions and being intentional about
24:03 feeding the mind with truth wisdom and
24:05 things that bring
24:09 peace renewing the mind is a daily
24:12 process just as the body needs food to
24:14 stay strong the Mind needs the right
24:17 input to stay focused this is why it is
24:19 important to fill the mind with things
24:21 that are uplifting educational and
24:23 inspiring reading learning and
24:25 meditating on Truth help to rewire
24:27 negative thought patterns and replace
24:29 them with positive ones
24:31 the more the mind is trained to think
24:34 correctly the less room there is for
24:37 thoughts that bring fear and
24:39 discouragement selft talk is another
24:42 powerful factor in controlling the
24:45 Mind many people are their own worst
24:47 critics speaking words of doubt and
24:49 failure to themselves without realizing
24:51 the damage it
24:53 does the way a person speaks to
24:56 themselves matters if the inner dialogue
24:59 is constantly negative
25:00 confidence and motivation will be
25:03 weakened but if selft talk is filled
25:05 with encouragement with reminders of past
25:07 past
25:10 victories with Declarations of faith and
25:13 possibility then the Mind becomes a
25:17 source of strength rather than weakness
25:20 a controlled mind is one that is focused
25:23 not easily swayed by emotions or external
25:24 external
25:26 circumstances it does not allow
25:28 temporary setbacks to create permanent
25:31 discouragement it does not give power to
25:34 fear or allow anxiety to dictate
25:37 decisions it remains steady able to see
25:40 beyond the present moment able to make
25:43 choices based on wisdom rather than
25:46 impulse controlling the Mind leads to a
25:49 life of stability Clarity and purpose it
25:52 will always be thoughts that try to
25:54 enter the mind that do not
25:58 belong fear will try to take hold doubt
26:01 will whisper lies anxiety will attempt
26:04 to disrupt peace but thoughts do not
26:05 have to be accepted just because they
26:08 appear every thought can be examined
26:10 tested and either accepted or
26:13 rejected the power to control the Mind
26:15 lies in the ability to
26:19 recognize which thoughts serve a purpose
26:21 and which ones need to be cast aside
26:24 those who Master their thoughts Master
26:26 their lives they do not live as victims
26:29 of circumstances but as people who take
26:31 control of their own mindset they
26:33 recognize that thoughts lead to actions
26:36 actions lead to habits and habit shaped
26:39 Destiny a disciplined mind creates a
26:43 disciplined life guarding thoughts
26:46 choosing what to focus on and refusing
26:48 to allow negativity to take root lead to
26:50 a future that is built on strength
26:52 rather than
26:54 weakness control leads to Victory
26:56 because discipline in the key areas of
26:59 life determines success or failure a
27:02 person who has control over their mouth
27:05 mood money and mind is someone who walks
27:06 in wisdom and
27:10 strength when life is left to chance
27:13 when emotions dictate actions when money
27:16 is spent without thought and when
27:20 thoughts run unchecked chaos follows but
27:23 when these areas are governed with
27:27 intention with discipline and with a
27:29 clear Focus
27:32 stability and peace take the place of
27:35 confusion and struggle Victory is not
27:38 achieved by accident it is the result of
27:41 daily choices small decisions that
27:44 accumulate over time to produce a life
27:46 of wisdom and
27:49 success many people desire Victory but
27:51 they do not want to make the choices
27:52 necessary to walk in it they want
27:54 Financial Security without Financial
27:56 discipline they want peace of mind
27:58 without controlling their thoughts they
28:00 want strong relationships without
28:01 managing their
28:05 words and emotion but Victory is
28:08 reserved for those o precious ones do

31:25 Hallelujah let's go deeper into this
31:28 truth today the word spoken have power
31:29 beyond what many
31:32 realize every word carries weight
31:34 shaping circumstances influencing
31:37 emotions and setting the course of Life
31:39 scripture declares that life and death
31:41 are in the power of the tongue words can
31:44 build up or tear down they can bring
31:47 peace or stir conflict they can release
31:50 Faith or spread fear what is spoken over
31:53 oneself over others and over
31:56 situations determines what takes root in
31:58 the heart and mind controlling the mouth
32:01 is not just about avoiding negativity it
32:03 is about intentionally speaking words
32:09 that align with truth wisdom and purpose
32:11 many people find themselves trapped not
32:14 by external forces but by their own
32:17 words they speak defeat over their lives
32:20 without even realizing it they say I
32:24 can't do this nothing ever works out for
32:27 me I'll never be successful and those
32:31 words become self-fulfilling
32:33 prophecies the enemy does not always
32:35 need to attack
32:38 openly sometimes all he needs to do is
32:41 influence the words spoken until doubt
32:44 fear and negativity take control but
32:47 those who understand the power of the
32:53 tongue know that words must be carefully
32:58 chosen speaking in faith declaring truth
33:01 an aligning speech with God's promises
33:03 promises
33:06 change every Jesus demonstrated The
33:09 Power of Words throughout his ministry
33:12 he spoke and the storm was calmed he
33:16 spoke and demons fled he spoke and the
33:18 sick were healed his words carried
33:20 Authority because they were in perfect
33:23 alignment with truth the same principle
33:26 applies today when words reflect Faith
33:29 rather than fear truth rather than doubt
33:32 and wisdom rather than foolishness they
33:36 carry power but when words are
33:40 careless when they are filled with
33:42 negativity when they are spoken without
33:46 thought they can bring unnecessary
33:49 hardship controlling the mouth also
33:51 means knowing when to be silent not
33:53 every thought needs to be spoken not
33:55 every situation needs commentary and not
33:59 every argument requires particip ation
34:01 many conflicts arise simply because
34:03 people do not have control over their
34:05 words they speak in Anger they respond
34:07 impulsively they engage in unnecessary
34:11 debates and as a result tension
34:15 increases but wisdom teaches that
34:18 silence can be more powerful than words
34:21 choosing to remain quiet when emotions
34:25 are high when negativity is present or
34:28 when words will not bring benefit is a
34:34 sign of true discipline gossip criticism
34:36 and careless speech can also be
34:38 destructive it is easy to fall into
34:41 conversations that tear others down that
34:44 spread negativity that fuel division but
34:46 every word spoken is a
34:49 seed and seeds produce
34:52 fruit those who constantly speak poorly
34:54 of others will find themselves
34:56 surrounded by negativity but those who
34:59 choose to speak life to speak
35:01 encouragement to declare good things
35:03 over others will find that their words
35:05 bring blessing not only to those who
35:09 hear them but to themselves as
35:12 well it is not enough to Simply avoid
35:14 negative words words must be
35:16 intentionally used for good speaking
35:19 life means declaring blessings over
35:23 situations even when they do not look
35:26 favorable it means choosing to encourage
35:28 rather than criticize to build rather
35:31 than tear down to speak Solutions rather
35:32 than dwell on
35:35 problems speaking life is an Act of
35:37 Faith a declaration that circumstances
35:40 do not determine the future God's
35:42 promises do the discipline of
35:46 controlling the mouth also requires
35:49 self-awareness many people speak without
35:51 realizing the impact of their words they
35:54 react rather than respond they vent
35:56 frustrations without considering how it
35:58 affects those around them
36:01 but taking control means pausing before
36:04 speaking weighing words carefully and
36:07 choosing speech that reflects wisdom and
36:09 understanding the goal is not just to
36:12 avoid saying the wrong things but to be
36:15 intentional about saying the right
36:18 things every word spoken has an impact
36:22 words shape identity influence emotions
36:24 and even affect physical well-being
36:27 those who consistently speak negatively
36:30 over themselves often struggle with
36:32 confidence while those who declare truth
36:36 and encouragement walk in Greater peace
36:39 words have the ability to shift
36:42 atmospheres to change perspectives to
36:44 open doors and to bring
36:47 breakthroughs those who learn to control
36:50 their mouths walk in a higher level of
36:52 authority wisdom and strength they
36:54 refuse to allow caress words to create
36:58 unnecessary battles
37:01 instead they choose to use their words
37:05 to align with truth to build faith and
37:08 to speak life into every situation they
37:11 face emotions are powerful and when they
37:14 are left unchecked they can dictate
37:16 actions influence decisions and even damage
37:18 damage
37:20 relationships many people live as though
37:22 they have no control over their emotions
37:24 reacting to situations rather than
37:26 responding with wisdom but emotions
37:29 should serve not not rule the ability to
37:31 control mood is not about suppressing
37:34 emotions it is about mastering them so
37:36 that they do not dictate behavior in a
37:38 way that leads to regret stability and
37:42 emotions brings strength and strength
37:45 leads to a life that is not easily
37:47 shaken by external
37:49 circumstances one of the greatest
37:51 dangers of uncontrolled emotions is that
37:53 they cause people to act in ways they later
37:54 later
37:57 regret anger leads to Words that cannot
38:00 be taken back frustration leads to
38:04 decisions made in haste fear leads to
38:06 hesitation that prevents
38:08 progress sadness leads to withdrawal
38:12 from people who care when emotions rule
38:15 actions become reactive rather than
38:18 intentional but when mood is controlled
38:20 choices are made based on wisdom rather
38:23 than impulse there is power in the
38:26 ability to remain steady to think
38:28 clearly even been in moments of high
38:31 emotion to be anchored rather than
38:34 tossed by every wave of
38:37 feeling Jesus demonstrated complete
38:41 control over his emotions he experienced
38:44 sorrow anger compassion and joy but he
38:46 never allowed his emotions to dictate
38:49 his actions in an unwise manner when he
38:52 was betrayed he did not respond in
38:54 hatred when he was accused he did not
38:57 lash out when he faced the cross he did
39:00 not allow fear to turn him away from his
39:06 purpose he felt deeply but he acted
39:10 wisely this is the example of emotional
39:13 Mastery acknowledging emotions without
39:16 being ruled by them some people live on
39:18 an emotional roller coaster constantly
39:20 moving between highs and lows when
39:22 things are going well they're happy and
39:24 full of Hope but the moment something
39:26 goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts
39:28 and they spiral into to discouragement or
39:29 or
39:31 frustration this instability prevents
39:33 growth because it keeps a person at the
39:36 mercy of the circumstances true
39:38 emotional strength is found in
39:40 consistency in the ability to remain
39:42 calm and steady regardless of what is
39:45 happening externally life is
39:48 unpredictable but emotions do not have
39:52 to be stability comes from the ability
39:57 to control what is within even when what is
39:59 is
40:02 outside is uncertain one of the keys to
40:04 controlling mood is
40:06 self-awareness many people do not take
40:08 the time to recognize what triggers
40:11 their emotions they allow situations
40:12 people and even past experiences to
40:14 dictate how they feel without ever
40:16 pausing to examine why they're reacting
40:20 in a certain way but self- awarenesses
40:24 is the first step to self-control when a
40:25 person understands their emotional
40:27 triggers they can take steps to respond
40:30 respond differently instead of reacting
40:33 out of habit they can
40:38 pause reflect and choose a response that
40:42 aligns with wisdom and maturity another
40:46 key to emotional Mastery is guarding the
40:49 mind what a person feeds their mind
40:52 directly influences their emotions
40:53 negative thoughts produce negative
40:56 feelings dwelling on past failures
40:59 brings discouragement J ment constantly
41:02 consuming bad news creates anxiety but
41:05 when the mind is filled with truth with
41:07 positive affirmations with the promises
41:12 of God emotions begin to shift Joy
41:16 replaces sadness peace replaces
41:19 anxiety confidence replaces doubt
41:21 controlling mood begins with controlling
41:24 what the Mind focuses on prayer and
41:26 meditation on God's word are also
41:29 powerful tools and stabilizing emotions
41:31 when emotions are overwhelming stepping
41:34 into a place of prayer brings Clarity
41:38 when frustration Rises pausing to seek
41:41 God's presence brings calm when worry
41:44 tries to take over reminding oneself of
41:46 God's promises brings
41:49 peace the presence of God has the power
41:51 to realign emotions to replace
41:56 instability with strength to turn chaos
41:58 into calm
41:59 setting boundaries is another important
42:02 aspect of mood control some people allow
42:04 themselves to be surrounded by
42:08 negativity by toxic conversations by
42:10 situations that drain them emotionally
42:13 but guarding peace means choosing what
42:15 to engage with and what to walk away
42:18 from it means recognizing that not every
42:20 battle is worth fighting not every
42:22 offense is worth addressing not every
42:25 situation deserves an emotional response
42:28 wisdom is knowing when to step
42:31 back when to stay silent and when to
42:35 redirect energy toward things that bring
42:39 growth and peace mastering mood does not
42:43 mean ignoring emotions it means
42:44 understanding them processing them
42:49 wisely and refusing to let them dictate
42:51 actions it is about developing a spirit
42:53 that is unshaken a heart that is steady
42:55 a mind that is disciplined emotions are
42:58 meant to be felt but they are not meant
42:59 to be in
43:01 control those who learn to control their
43:05 mood walk in Greater peace make better
43:07 decisions and live a life that is not
43:10 dictated by fleeting feelings but by lasting
43:11 lasting
43:14 wisdom money is a tool not a master it
43:18 is meant to be controlled not to
43:20 control many people struggle with
43:22 financial issues not because they lack
43:23 income but because they lack discipline
43:26 they spend without a plan live beyond
43:28 their means and allow money to dictate
43:31 their emotions relationships and
43:34 decisions but Financial stability is not
43:37 about how much is earned it is about how
43:40 well what is earned is man when money is
43:43 controlled with wisdom it brings
43:46 security Peace and Freedom when it is
43:50 mismanaged it brings stress worry and
43:52 bondage one of the greatest Financial
43:54 mistakes people make is living for
43:55 immediate gratification they spend
43:57 impulsively seeking temporary
43:59 satisfaction without considering long-term
44:01 long-term
44:03 consequences they buy things they do not
44:06 need using money they do not have to
44:08 impress people who are not paying
44:10 attention this cycle of impulsive
44:12 spending creates Financial stress and
44:14 debt leading to a life where money
44:17 becomes a burden instead of a blessing
44:19 true Financial wisdom is found in the
44:22 ability to delay
44:25 gratification to prioritize needs over
44:29 wants and to understand that real wealth
44:31 is not in
44:34 possessions but in Financial Freedom the
44:36 world encourages a mindset of
44:39 excess bigger houses newer cars more
44:42 luxury but accumulation without wisdom
44:44 leads to financial
44:47 strain many people assume that if they
44:49 just made more money their financial
44:51 problems would
44:54 disappear but income is not the issue
44:57 stewardship is
44:59 there are those who make little yet live
45:02 with peace and there are those who make
45:04 much yet are drowning in debt Financial
45:06 control begins with
45:09 mindset with understanding that money is
45:12 a resource that must be managed
45:16 wisely rather than spent
45:19 recklessly budgeting is one of the most
45:22 powerful tools for financial
45:24 control many avoid it because they do
45:26 not want to feel restricted but in reality
45:27 reality
45:30 a budget provides Freedom it ensures
45:32 that money is being used intentionally
45:35 that there is a plan for every dollar
45:36 that financial decisions align with long-term
45:38 long-term
45:41 goals without a budget money is easily
45:44 wasted small unnecessary expenses add up
45:47 over time and before realizing it
45:49 financial resources are depleted on
45:50 things that bring
45:54 no lasting value but with a plan in
45:57 place money serves its Pur
46:01 purpose rather than disappearing without
46:04 accountability another key to financial
46:05 control is learning the difference
46:09 between needs and wants many Financial
46:12 struggles come from confusing the two a
46:17 need is essential food shelter Health
46:20 stability a want is extra luxury items
46:23 entertainment upgrades that are not
46:25 necessary there is nothing wrong with
46:28 enjoying money but but when Once are
46:31 prioritized over needs financial
46:33 problems arise a wise person learns to
46:36 be content to live within their means to
46:40 appreciate what they have rather than
46:43 constantly chasing more contentment does
46:45 not mean settling it means having peace
46:48 with what is already provided while
46:51 working toward greater Financial wisdom
46:54 debt is another burden that many carry
46:57 unnecessarily some debt is unavoidable
47:00 but much of it is a result of poor
47:04 financial choices credit cards loans for
47:06 things that are not essential living
47:08 beyond Financial
47:11 limits these habits create a cycle of financial
47:12 financial
47:17 bondage the borrower is servant to the
47:21 lender debt removes Freedom causing
47:24 stress and limiting choices but
47:27 Financial control mean
47:30 making decisions that prevent
47:33 unnecessary debt that focus on Financial
47:37 Health rather than momentary
47:39 desires it means paying off obligations
47:41 avoiding unnecessary borrowing and
47:43 creating a future that is not weighed
47:45 down by Financial
47:48 chains saving and investing are crucial
47:50 aspects of financial control many people
47:52 live paycheck to paycheck not because
47:55 they must but because they have never
47:58 developed the habit of say saving having
48:00 Financial reserves provides Security in
48:03 times of Crisis investing wisely allows
48:05 money to grow rather than
48:07 disappear those who understand financial
48:09 principles know that money should be
48:12 working for them not just being spent
48:14 without thought they recognize the
48:16 importance of planning for the future
48:19 rather than living only for the present
48:21 generosity is also a key part of
48:23 financial wisdom money is not meant to
48:24 be hoarded it is meant to be used for
48:26 good those who give who bless others who
48:29 use their resources to help rather than
48:30 just accumulate find that their
48:33 financial lives are more fulfilled
48:35 giving does not decrease wealth it
48:39 increases blessing it creates a mindset
48:42 of abundance rather than lack true
48:44 financial success is not just about
48:47 having more but about using what is
48:50 given wisely and
48:53 purposefully Financial control requires
48:56 disciplined patience and a shift in mindset
48:58 mindset
49:00 it means making intentional choices
49:03 rather than reacting to
49:05 circumstances it means understanding
49:07 that money is a tool to be used not a
49:09 source of identity or
49:12 security those who Master Financial
49:15 discipline walk in Greater peace knowing
49:19 that they are not ruled by money but are
49:22 in control of how they use it the mind
49:25 is the battlefield where victories and
49:27 defeats begin every action decision and
49:31 outcome in life starts as a thought if
49:34 the mind is filled with doubt negativity
49:37 and fear those thoughts will eventually
49:39 manifest in actions and habits that
49:43 reflect them but if the mind is guarded
49:46 disciplined and focused on truth it
49:48 becomes a source of strength Clarity and
49:51 purpose what a person allows to dwell in
49:54 their mind shapes their future
49:57 influences their emotions and deter
50:00 their ability to succeed controlling the
50:02 mind is not an
50:06 option it is a necessity for living a
50:10 life of Peace wisdom and purpose many
50:12 people live their lives at the mercy of
50:13 their thoughts they allow worries to
50:16 consume them fears to paralyze them and
50:18 negative experiences from the past to
50:20 Define them they entertain thoughts of
50:23 failure of rejection of impossibility
50:24 and then wonder why they struggle to move
50:25 move
50:28 forward but the mind is not meant to be
50:30 a Dumping Ground for every negative idea
50:33 that comes along it must be guarded with
50:36 intention disciplined with wisdom and
50:39 aligned with truth just as a garden must
50:42 be maintained to keep out weeds the Mind
50:45 must be cultivated to keep out
50:48 destructive thoughts scripture teaches
50:51 that as a person thinks so they become
50:53 this means that what fills the mind will
50:55 eventually shape Behavior habits and identity
50:57 identity
50:59 if the mind is constantly focused on
51:01 problems life will feel
51:04 overwhelming if the mind is focused on
51:05 lack there will always be a sense of not
51:08 having enough but if the mind is focused
51:12 on Solutions on possibilities on faith and
51:14 and
51:16 growth then opportunities and
51:18 breakthroughs will begin to appear the
51:22 mind is powerful and what is fed into it
51:25 determines what will come out of it one
51:26 of the greatest Danger of an
51:28 undisciplined mind is that it easily
51:30 becomes influenced by external voices
51:32 the world is full of opinions
51:34 distractions and noise that compete for
51:36 attention social media news and
51:38 conversations filled with negativity can
51:40 slowly shape thinking without even realizing
51:41 realizing
51:45 it a mind that is not guarded will
51:47 absorb these
51:50 influences allowing fear doubt and
51:53 anxiety to take root but controlling the
51:56 Mind means being selective about what is
52:00 allowed in it means filtering out
52:03 negativity avoiding unnecessary
52:05 distractions and being intentional about
52:09 feeding the mind with truth wisdom and
52:12 things that bring
52:16 peace renewing the mind is a daily
52:19 process just as the body needs food to
52:21 stay strong the Mind needs the right
52:24 input to stay focused this is why it is
52:26 important to fill the mind with things
52:28 that are up uplifting education and
52:30 inspiring reading learning and
52:32 meditating on Truth help to rewire
52:34 negative thought patterns and replace
52:36 them with positive ones the more the
52:39 mind is trained to think correctly the
52:42 less room there is for thoughts that
52:44 bring fear and
52:46 discouragement selft talk is another
52:48 powerful factor in controlling the
52:52 Mind many people are their own worst
52:54 critics speaking words of doubt and
52:56 failure to themselves without realizing
52:57 that damage it
53:00 does the way a person speaks to
53:03 themselves matters if the inner dialogue
53:06 is constantly negative confidence and
53:09 motivation will be weakened but if selft
53:11 talk is filled with encouragement with
53:13 reminders of past
53:17 victories with Declarations of faith and
53:19 possibility then the Mind becomes a
53:23 source of strength rather than weakness
53:26 a controlled mind is one that is FOC
53:30 focused not easily swayed by emotions or external
53:31 external
53:33 circumstances it does not allow
53:35 temporary setbacks to create permanent
53:37 discouragement it does not give power to
53:40 fear or allow anxiety to dictate
53:44 decisions it remains steady able to see
53:47 beyond the present moment able to make
53:50 choices based on wisdom rather than
53:53 impulse controlling the Mind leads to a
53:56 life of stability Clarity and purpose it
53:59 there will always be thoughts that try
54:01 to enter the mind that do not
54:05 belong fear will try to take hold doubt
54:08 will whisper lies anxiety will attempt
54:11 to disrupt peace but thoughts do not
54:12 have to be accepted just because they
54:15 appear every thought can be examined
54:17 tested and either accepted or
54:20 rejected the power to control the Mind
54:22 lies in the ability to
54:25 recognize which thoughts serve a purpose
54:28 and which ones need to be cast aside
54:30 those who Master their thoughts Master
54:33 their lives they do not live as victims
54:35 of circumstances but as people who take
54:38 control of their own mindset they
54:40 recognize that thoughts lead to actions
54:43 actions lead to Habit and habit shaped
54:46 Destiny a disciplined mind creates a
54:50 disciplined life guarding thoughts
54:52 choosing what to focus on and refusing
54:55 to allow negativity to take root lead to
54:57 a future that is built on strength
54:58 rather than
55:01 weakness control leads to Victory
55:03 because discipline in the key areas of
55:06 life determines success or failure a
55:09 person who has control over their mouth
55:11 mood money and mind is someone who walks
55:13 in wisdom and
55:17 strength when life is left to chance
55:20 when emotions dictate actions when money
55:22 is spent without thought and when
55:26 thoughts run unchecked chaos follows
55:30 but when these areas are governed with
55:32 intention with
55:35 discipline and with a clear
55:38 Focus stability and peace take the place
55:42 of confusion and struggle Victory is not
55:45 achieved by accident it is the result of
55:48 daily choices small decisions that
55:51 accumulate over time to produce a life
55:53 of wisdom and
55:56 success many people desire Victory but
55:57 they do not want to make the choices
55:59 necessary to walk in it they want
56:01 Financial Security without Financial
56:03 discipline they want peace of mind
56:05 without controlling their thoughts they
56:07 want strong relationships without
56:10 managing their words and emotion but
56:14 Victory is reserved for those o precious

59:36 beyond what many
59:39 realize every word carries weight
59:41 shaping circumstances influencing
59:44 emotions and setting the course of Life
59:45 scripture declares that life and death
59:48 are in the power of the tongue words can
59:51 build up or tear down they can bring
59:54 peace or stir conflict they can release
59:57 Faith or spread fear what is spoken over
60:01 oneself over others and over situations determines what takes root in the heart
60:03 determines what takes root in the heart and mind controlling the mouth is not
60:05 and mind controlling the mouth is not just about avoiding negativity it is
60:08 just about avoiding negativity it is about intentionally speaking words that
60:11 about intentionally speaking words that align with truth wisdom and purpose many
60:16 align with truth wisdom and purpose many people find themselves trapped not by
60:18 people find themselves trapped not by external forces but by their own words
60:21 external forces but by their own words they speak defeat over their lives
60:24 they speak defeat over their lives without even realizing it
60:26 without even realizing it they say I can't do this nothing ever
60:29 they say I can't do this nothing ever works out for me I'll never be
60:33 works out for me I'll never be successful and those words become
60:35 successful and those words become self-fulfilling
60:37 self-fulfilling prophecies the enemy does not always
60:40 prophecies the enemy does not always need to attack
60:41 need to attack openly sometimes all he needs to do is
60:45 openly sometimes all he needs to do is influence the words spoken until doubt
60:48 influence the words spoken until doubt fear and negativity take control but

90:35 choosing to remain quiet when emotions are high when negativity is present or
90:39 are high when negativity is present or when words will not bring benefit is a
90:41 when words will not bring benefit is a sign of true discipline gossip criticism

150:12 strength leads to a life that is not easily shaken by external
150:14 easily shaken by external circumstances one of the greatest
150:16 circumstances one of the greatest dangers of uncontrolled emotions is that
150:18 dangers of uncontrolled emotions is that they cause people to act in ways they
150:20 they cause people to act in ways they later
150:21 later regret anger leads to Words that cannot

150:33 hesitation that prevents progress sadness leads to withdrawal
150:36 progress sadness leads to withdrawal from people who care when emotions rule
150:39 from people who care when emotions rule actions become reactive rather than
150:43 actions become reactive rather than intentional but when mood is controlled
150:45 intentional but when mood is controlled choices are made based on wisdom rather
150:47 choices are made based on wisdom rather than impulse There Is Power the ability

150:54 to remain steady to think clearly even in moments of high emotion to be
150:57 in moments of high emotion to be anchored rather than tossed by every
151:00 anchored rather than tossed by every wave of
151:01 wave of feeling Jesus demonstrated complete
151:05 feeling Jesus demonstrated complete control over his emotions he experienced
151:08 control over his emotions he experienced sorrow anger compassion and joy but he
151:11 sorrow anger compassion and joy but he never allowed his emotions to dictate
151:13 never allowed his emotions to dictate his actions in an unwise manner when he
151:16 his actions in an unwise manner when he was betrayed he did not respond in
151:19 was betrayed he did not respond in hatred when he was accused he did not
151:21 hatred when he was accused he did not lash out when he faced the cross he did
151:24 lash out when he faced the cross he did not allow fear to turn him away from his
151:28 not allow fear to turn him away from his purpose he felt deeply but he acted
151:33 purpose he felt deeply but he acted wisely this is the example of emotional
151:37 wisely this is the example of emotional Mastery acknowledging emotions without
151:40 Mastery acknowledging emotions without being ruled by them some people live on
151:43 being ruled by them some people live on an emotional roller coaster constantly
151:45 an emotional roller coaster constantly moving between highs and lows when
151:47 moving between highs and lows when things are going well they are happy and
151:49 things are going well they are happy and full of hope but the moment something
151:51 full of hope but the moment something goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts
151:53 goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts and they spiral into discouragement or
151:56 and they spiral into discouragement or frustration this instability prevents
151:58 frustration this instability prevents growth because it keeps a person at the
152:00 growth because it keeps a person at the mercy of the
152:02 mercy of the circumstances true emotional strength is
152:04 circumstances true emotional strength is found in
152:05 found in consistency in the ability to remain

152:38 their emotions they allow situations people and even past experiences to
152:40 people and even past experiences to dictate how they feel without ever
152:42 dictate how they feel without ever pausing to examine why they're reacting
152:44 pausing to examine why they're reacting in a certain way but self-awareness is
152:47 in a certain way but self-awareness is is the first step to self control when a
152:51 is the first step to self control when a person understands their emotional
152:52 person understands their emotional triggers they can take steps to
152:54 triggers they can take steps to respond differently instead of reacting

156:39 spending creates Financial stress and debt leading to a life where money
156:41 debt leading to a life where money becomes a burden instead of a blessing
156:44 becomes a burden instead of a blessing true Financial wisdom is found in the
156:46 true Financial wisdom is found in the ability to delay gratification
156:50 ability to delay gratification to prioritize needs over wants and to
156:54 to prioritize needs over wants and to understand that real wealth is not in
156:58 understand that real wealth is not in possessions but in Financial Freedom the
157:01 possessions but in Financial Freedom the world encourages a mindset of excess
157:04 world encourages a mindset of excess bigger houses newer cars more luxury but
157:08 bigger houses newer cars more luxury but accumulation without wisdom leads to
157:10 accumulation without wisdom leads to financial
157:11 financial strain many people assume that if they
157:14 strain many people assume that if they just made more money their financial
157:17 just made more money their financial problems would
157:18 problems would disappear but income is not the issue
157:21 disappear but income is not the issue stewardship

158:51 entertainment upgrad that are not necessary there is nothing wrong with
158:53 necessary there is nothing wrong with enjoying money but when Once are
158:55 enjoying money but when Once are prioritized over needs financial
158:58 prioritized over needs financial problems arise a wise person learns to
159:00 problems arise a wise person learns to be content to live within their means to
159:03 be content to live within their means to appreciate what they have rather than
159:07 appreciate what they have rather than constantly chasing more contentment does
159:10 constantly chasing more contentment does not mean settling it means having peace

159:15 with what is already provided while working toward greater Financial wisdom
159:18 working toward greater Financial wisdom debt is is another burden that many
159:21 debt is is another burden that many carry
159:22 carry unnecessarily some debt is unavoidable

174:26 silent not every thought needs to be spoken not every situation needs
174:28 spoken not every situation needs commentary and not every argument
174:30 commentary and not every argument requires
174:32 requires participation many conflicts arise
174:34 participation many conflicts arise simply because people do not have

174:38 control over their words they speak in Anger they respond impulsively they
174:40 Anger they respond impulsively they engage in unnecessary debates and as a
174:43 engage in unnecessary debates and as a result tension
174:45 result tension increases but wisdom teaches that
174:49 increases but wisdom teaches that silence can be more powerful than words

176:25 realizing the impact of their words they react rather than respond they vent
176:28 react rather than respond they vent frustrations without considering how it
176:30 frustrations without considering how it affects those around them but taking
176:32 affects those around them but taking control means pausing before speaking
176:36 control means pausing before speaking weighing words carefully and choosing

202:47 Anger they respond impulsively they engage in unnecessary debates and as a
202:49 engage in unnecessary debates and as a result tension
202:52 result tension increases but wisdom teaches that
202:55 increases but wisdom teaches that silence can be more powerful than words
202:59 silence can be more powerful than words choosing to remain quiet when emotions
203:02 choosing to remain quiet when emotions are high when negativity is present or

206:27 easily shaken by external circumstances one of the greatest
206:29 circumstances one of the greatest dangers of uncontrolled emotions is that
206:32 dangers of uncontrolled emotions is that they cause people to act in ways they

207:21 complete control over his emotions he experienced sorrow anger compassion and
207:24 experienced sorrow anger compassion and joy but he never allowed his emotions to
207:26 joy but he never allowed his emotions to dictate his actions in an unwise manner
207:30 dictate his actions in an unwise manner when he was betrayed he did not respond
207:32 when he was betrayed he did not respond in hatred when he was accused he did not
207:35 in hatred when he was accused he did not lash out when he faced the cross he did

207:45 purpose he felt deeply but he acted wisely
207:46 wisely [Music]
207:48 [Music] this is the example of emotional Mastery
207:52 this is the example of emotional Mastery acknowledging emotions without being
207:54 acknowledging emotions without being ruled by them some people live on an
207:57 ruled by them some people live on an emotional roller coaster constantly
207:58 emotional roller coaster constantly moving between highs and lows when
208:01 moving between highs and lows when things are going well they're happy and
208:03 things are going well they're happy and full of Hope but the moment something
208:05 full of Hope but the moment something goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts
208:07 goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts and they spiral into discouragement or
208:10 and they spiral into discouragement or frustration this instability prevents
208:12 frustration this instability prevents growth because it keeps a person at the
208:14 growth because it keeps a person at the mercy of the circumstances true
208:16 mercy of the circumstances true emotional strength is found in
208:19 emotional strength is found in consistency in the ability to remain
208:21 consistency in the ability to remain calm and steady regardless of what is
208:23 calm and steady regardless of what is happening externally life is

208:50 recognize what triggers their emotions they allow situations people and even
208:52 they allow situations people and even past experiences to dictate how they
208:54 past experiences to dictate how they feel without ever pausing to examine why
208:56 feel without ever pausing to examine why they're reacting in a certain way but
208:59 they're reacting in a certain way but self-awareness is is the first step to
209:03 self-awareness is is the first step to self-control when a person understands
209:05 self-control when a person understands their emotional triggers they can take
209:07 their emotional triggers they can take steps to
209:08 steps to respond differently instead of reacting

218:08 defeats begin every action decision and outcome in life starts as a thought if
218:12 outcome in life starts as a thought if the mind is filled with doubt negativity
218:15 the mind is filled with doubt negativity and fear those thoughts will eventually
218:18 and fear those thoughts will eventually manifest in actions and habits that

218:55 worries to consume them fears to paralyze them and negative experiences
218:58 paralyze them and negative experiences from the past to Define them they
219:00 from the past to Define them they entertain thoughts of failure of
219:02 entertain thoughts of failure of rejection of impossibility and then
219:04 rejection of impossibility and then wonder why they struggle to move
219:06 wonder why they struggle to move forward but the mind is not meant to be
219:08 forward but the mind is not meant to be a Dumping Ground for every negative idea

219:53 on Solutions on possibilities on faith and
219:54 and growth then opportunities and
219:57 growth then opportunities and breakthroughs will begin to appear the
219:59 breakthroughs will begin to appear the mind is powerful and what is fed into it
220:03 mind is powerful and what is fed into it determines what will come out of it one
220:06 determines what will come out of it one of the greatest dangers of an
220:07 of the greatest dangers of an undisciplined mind is that it easily
220:09 undisciplined mind is that it easily becomes influenced by external voices

221:14 negative thought patterns and replace them with positive ones the more the
221:17 them with positive ones the more the mind is trained to think correctly the
221:20 mind is trained to think correctly the less room there is for thoughts that
221:22 less room there is for thoughts that bring fear and
221:24 bring fear and discouragement selft talk is another

221:32 Mind many people are their own worst critics speaking words of doubt and
221:35 critics speaking words of doubt and failure to themselves without realizing
221:37 failure to themselves without realizing the damage it
221:38 the damage it does the way a person speaks to

236:12 full of Hope but the moment something goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts
236:13 goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts and they spiral into discouragement or
236:16 and they spiral into discouragement or frustration this instability prevents

237:00 people and even past experiences to dictate how they feel without ever
237:02 dictate how they feel without ever pausing to examine why they're reacting

248:34 will absorb these influences allowing fear doubt and
248:38 influences allowing fear doubt and anxiety to take root but controlling the
248:40 anxiety to take root but controlling the Mind means being selective about what is

258:58 control over their words they speak in Anger they respond impulsively they
259:00 Anger they respond impulsively they engage in unnecessary debates and as a
259:03 engage in unnecessary debates and as a result tension
259:05 result tension increases but wisdom teaches that
259:09 increases but wisdom teaches that silence can be more powerful than words
259:12 silence can be more powerful than words choosing to remain quiet when emotions
259:16 choosing to remain quiet when emotions are high when negativity is present or
259:19 are high when negativity is present or when words will not bring benefit is a

284:31 beyond what many realize every word carries weight
284:33 realize every word carries weight shaping circumstances influencing
284:35 shaping circumstances influencing emotions and setting the course of Life
284:38 emotions and setting the course of Life scripture declares that life and death
284:40 scripture declares that life and death are in the power of of the tongue words
284:42 are in the power of of the tongue words can build up or tear down they can bring
284:45 can build up or tear down they can bring peace or stir conflict they can release
284:48 peace or stir conflict they can release Faith or spread fear what is spoken over
284:52 Faith or spread fear what is spoken over oneself over others and over
284:54 oneself over others and over situations determines what takes root in
284:57 situations determines what takes root in the heart and mind controlling the mouth
284:59 the heart and mind controlling the mouth is not just about avoiding negativity it
285:02 is not just about avoiding negativity it is about intentionally speaking words
285:05 is about intentionally speaking words that align with truth wisdom and purpose
285:10 that align with truth wisdom and purpose many people find themselves trapped not
285:12 many people find themselves trapped not by external forces but by their own
285:15 by external forces but by their own words they speak defeat over their lives
285:18 words they speak defeat over their lives without even realizing it they say I
285:21 without even realizing it they say I can't do this nothing ever works out for
285:25 can't do this nothing ever works out for me I'll never be successful and those
285:28 me I'll never be successful and those words become self-fulfilling
285:32 words become self-fulfilling prophecies the enemy does not always
285:34 prophecies the enemy does not always need to attack
285:36 need to attack openly sometimes all he needs to do is

285:43 influence the words spoken until doubt fear and negativity take control but
285:45 fear and negativity take control but those who understand the power of the
285:48 those who understand the power of the tongue know that words must be carefully
285:54 tongue know that words must be carefully chosen speaking in faith declaring
285:59 chosen speaking in faith declaring truth and aligning speech with God's
286:02 truth and aligning speech with God's promises
286:04 promises change every Jesus demonstrated The

286:17 he spoke and demons fled he spoke and the sick were healed his words carried
286:19 the sick were healed his words carried Authority because they were in perfect
286:21 Authority because they were in perfect alignment with truth the same principle
286:24 alignment with truth the same principle applies today when words reflect Faith
286:27 applies today when words reflect Faith rather than fear truth rather than doubt
286:30 rather than fear truth rather than doubt and wisdom rather than foolishness they
286:33 and wisdom rather than foolishness they carry power but when words are
286:37 carry power but when words are careless when they are filled with
286:40 careless when they are filled with negative ity when they are spoken
286:43 negative ity when they are spoken without thought they can bring
286:46 without thought they can bring unnecessary hardship controlling the
286:49 unnecessary hardship controlling the mouth also means knowing when to be
286:51 mouth also means knowing when to be silent not every thought needs to be
286:53 silent not every thought needs to be spoken not every situation needs
286:55 spoken not every situation needs commentary and not every argument
286:57 commentary and not every argument requires
286:59 requires participation many conflicts arise
287:01 participation many conflicts arise simply because people do not have
287:03 simply because people do not have control over their words they speak in
287:05 control over their words they speak in Anger they respond impulsively they
287:07 Anger they respond impulsively they engage in unnecessary debates and as a
287:10 engage in unnecessary debates and as a result
287:11 result tension
287:12 tension increases but wisdom teaches that
287:16 increases but wisdom teaches that silence can be more powerful than words
287:19 silence can be more powerful than words choosing to remain quiet when emotions
287:22 choosing to remain quiet when emotions are high when negativity is present or
287:26 are high when negativity is present or when words will not bring benefit is a
287:29 when words will not bring benefit is a sign of true discipline gossip criticism
287:35 sign of true discipline gossip criticism and careless speech can also be
287:37 and careless speech can also be destructive it is easy to fall into
287:40 destructive it is easy to fall into conversations that that tear others down
287:42 conversations that that tear others down that spread negativity that fuel
287:44 that spread negativity that fuel division but every word spoken is a
287:47 division but every word spoken is a seed and seeds produce
287:50 seed and seeds produce fruit those who constantly speak poorly
287:53 fruit those who constantly speak poorly of others will find themselves
287:55 of others will find themselves surrounded by negativity but those who
287:57 surrounded by negativity but those who choose to Speak Life to speak

288:15 negative words words must be intentionally used for good speaking
288:17 intentionally used for good speaking life means declaring blessings over
288:20 life means declaring blessings over situations even when they do not look
288:24 situations even when they do not look favorable it means choosing to encourage

288:53 realizing the impact of their words they react rather than respond they vent
288:55 react rather than respond they vent frustrations without considering how it
288:57 frustrations without considering how it affects those around them but taking
288:59 affects those around them but taking control means pausing before speaking
289:03 control means pausing before speaking weighing words carefully and choosing
289:06 weighing words carefully and choosing speech that reflects wisdom and
289:08 speech that reflects wisdom and understanding the goal is not just to
289:10 understanding the goal is not just to avoid saying the wrong things but to be

315:10 simply because because people do not have control over their words they speak
315:12 have control over their words they speak in Anger they respond impulsively they
315:14 in Anger they respond impulsively they engage in unnecessary debates and as a
315:17 engage in unnecessary debates and as a result tension
315:19 result tension increases but wisdom teaches that

341:08 oneself over others and over situations determines what takes root in
341:10 situations determines what takes root in the heart and mind controlling the mouth
341:13 the heart and mind controlling the mouth is not just about avoiding negativity it
341:15 is not just about avoiding negativity it is about intentionally speaking words

343:21 Anger they respond impulsively they engage in unnecessary debates and as a
343:23 engage in unnecessary debates and as a result tension
343:26 result tension increases but wisdom teaches that
343:29 increases but wisdom teaches that silence can be more powerful than words
343:33 silence can be more powerful than words choosing to remain quiet when emotions
343:36 choosing to remain quiet when emotions are high
343:37 are high when negativity is present or when words

347:52 feeling Jesus demonstrated complete control over his emotions he experienced
347:56 control over his emotions he experienced sorrow anger compassion and joy but he
347:59 sorrow anger compassion and joy but he never allowed his emotions to dictate
348:01 never allowed his emotions to dictate his actions in an unwise manner when he

348:25 wisely this is the example of emotional Mastery acknowledging emotions without
348:28 Mastery acknowledging emotions without being ruled by them some people live on
348:31 being ruled by them some people live on an emotional roller coaster constantly
348:32 an emotional roller coaster constantly moving between highs and lows when

348:37 things are going well they are happy and full of Hope but the moment something
348:39 full of Hope but the moment something goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts
348:41 goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts and they spiral into discouragement or
348:43 and they spiral into discouragement or frustration this instability prevents
348:46 frustration this instability prevents growth because it keeps a person at the
348:48 growth because it keeps a person at the mercy of the circumstances true
348:50 mercy of the circumstances true emotional strength is found in
348:53 emotional strength is found in consistency in the ability to remain

349:27 people and even past experiences to dictate how they feel without ever
349:29 dictate how they feel without ever pausing to examine why they're reacting
349:31 pausing to examine why they're reacting in a certain way but self-awareness is
349:35 in a certain way but self-awareness is is the first step to self-control when a

370:45 with truth the same principle applies today when words reflect Faith rather
370:47 today when words reflect Faith rather than fear truth rather than doubt and
370:50 than fear truth rather than doubt and wisdom rather than foolishness they
370:53 wisdom rather than foolishness they carry power but when words are
370:58 carry power but when words are careless when they are filled with

371:14 every thought needs to be spoken not every situation needs commentary and not
371:17 every situation needs commentary and not every argument requires
371:19 every argument requires participation many conflicts arise
371:22 participation many conflicts arise simply because people do not have
371:23 simply because people do not have control over their words they speak in
371:25 control over their words they speak in Anger they respond impulsively they
371:28 Anger they respond impulsively they engage in unnecessary debates and as a
371:30 engage in unnecessary debates and as a result tension
371:33 result tension increases but wisdom teach tees that
371:36 increases but wisdom teach tees that silence can be more powerful than words
371:40 silence can be more powerful than words choosing to remain quiet when emotions
371:43 choosing to remain quiet when emotions are high when negativity is present or
371:47 are high when negativity is present or when words will not bring benefit is a
371:49 when words will not bring benefit is a sign of true discipline gossip criticism

372:07 every word spoken is a seed and seeds produce
372:10 seed and seeds produce fruit those who constantly speak poorly
372:13 fruit those who constantly speak poorly of others will find themselves
372:15 of others will find themselves surrounded by negativity but those who

373:13 realizing the impact of their words they react rather than respond they vent
373:15 react rather than respond they vent frustrations without considering how it
373:17 frustrations without considering how it affects those around them but taking
373:20 affects those around them but taking control means pausing before speaking
373:24 control means pausing before speaking weighing words carefully and choosing
373:26 weighing words carefully and choosing speech that reflects wisdom and
373:29 speech that reflects wisdom and understanding the goal is not just to
373:31 understanding the goal is not just to avoid saying the wrong things but to be
373:34 avoid saying the wrong things but to be intentional about saying the right
373:37 intentional about saying the right things every word spoken has an impact
373:40 things every word spoken has an impact words shape identity influence emotions

374:01 words have the ability to shift atmospheres to change perspectives to
374:03 atmospheres to change perspectives to open doors and to bring
374:05 open doors and to bring breakthroughs those who learn to control
374:08 breakthroughs those who learn to control their mouths walk in a higher level of
374:11 their mouths walk in a higher level of authority wisdom and strength they
374:13 authority wisdom and strength they refuse to allow careless words to create
374:16 refuse to allow careless words to create unnecessary

374:53 control mood is not about suppressing emotions it is about mastering them so
374:55 emotions it is about mastering them so that they do not dictate behavior in a
374:57 that they do not dictate behavior in a way that leads to regret stability and
375:00 way that leads to regret stability and emotions brings strength and
375:03 emotions brings strength and strength leads to a life that is not
375:06 strength leads to a life that is not easily shaken by external
375:08 easily shaken by external circumstances one of the greatest
375:10 circumstances one of the greatest dangers of uncontrolled emotions is that
375:13 dangers of uncontrolled emotions is that they cause people to act in ways they
375:14 they cause people to act in ways they later
375:16 later regret anger leads to Words that cannot

375:22 be taken back frustration leads to decisions made in haste fear leads to
375:25 decisions made in haste fear leads to hesitation that prevents
375:27 hesitation that prevents progress sadness leads to withdrawal
375:30 progress sadness leads to withdrawal from people who care when emotions rule
375:34 from people who care when emotions rule actions become reactive rather than
375:37 actions become reactive rather than intentional but when mood is controlled
375:40 intentional but when mood is controlled choices are made based on wisdom rather
375:42 choices are made based on wisdom rather than impulse there is power in the

375:47 ability to remain steady to think clearly even in moments of high emotion
375:51 clearly even in moments of high emotion to be anchored rather than tossed by
375:54 to be anchored rather than tossed by every wave of
375:56 every wave of feeling Jesus demonstrated complete
375:59 feeling Jesus demonstrated complete control over his emotions he experienced
376:03 control over his emotions he experienced sorrow anger compass passion and joy but
376:05 sorrow anger compass passion and joy but he never allowed his emotions to dictate
376:08 he never allowed his emotions to dictate his actions in an unwise manner when he
376:11 his actions in an unwise manner when he was betrayed he did not respond in
376:13 was betrayed he did not respond in hatred when he was accused he did not
376:16 hatred when he was accused he did not lash out when he faced the cross he did
376:19 lash out when he faced the cross he did not allow fear to turn him away from his
376:22 not allow fear to turn him away from his purpose he felt deeply but he acted
376:27 purpose he felt deeply but he acted wisely this is the example of emotional
376:31 wisely this is the example of emotional Mastery acknowledging emotions with
376:34 Mastery acknowledging emotions with without being ruled by them some people
376:37 without being ruled by them some people live on an emotional roller coaster

376:43 when things are going well they're happy and full of Hope but the moment
376:45 and full of Hope but the moment something goes wrong their entire
376:47 something goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts and they spiral into
376:49 Outlook shifts and they spiral into discouragement or
376:50 discouragement or frustration this instability prevents
376:53 frustration this instability prevents growth because it keeps a person at the
376:55 growth because it keeps a person at the mercy of the circumstances true
376:57 mercy of the circumstances true emotional strength is found in
376:59 emotional strength is found in consistency in the ability to remain

377:32 their emotions they allow situations people and even past experiences to
377:34 people and even past experiences to dictate how they feel without ever
377:36 dictate how they feel without ever pausing to examine why they're reacting
377:38 pausing to examine why they're reacting in a certain way but self-awareness is
377:42 in a certain way but self-awareness is is the first step to self-control when a
377:45 is the first step to self-control when a person understands their emotional
377:46 person understands their emotional triggers they can take steps to
377:49 triggers they can take steps to respond differently instead of reacting

381:21 satisfaction without considering long-term
381:23 long-term consequences they buy things they do not
381:24 consequences they buy things they do not need using money they do not have to
381:28 need using money they do not have to impress people who are not paying
381:29 impress people who are not paying attention this cycle of impulsive
381:32 attention this cycle of impulsive spending creates Financial stress and
381:33 spending creates Financial stress and debt leading to a life where money
381:35 debt leading to a life where money becomes a burden instead of a blessing
381:38 becomes a burden instead of a blessing true Financial wisdom is found in the
381:41 true Financial wisdom is found in the ability to delay
381:43 ability to delay gratification to prioritize needs over
381:47 gratification to prioritize needs over wants and to understand that real wealth
381:50 wants and to understand that real wealth is not in
381:52 is not in possessions but in Financial Freedom the
381:55 possessions but in Financial Freedom the world encourages a mindset of
381:58 world encourages a mindset of excess bigger houses newer cars more
382:01 excess bigger houses newer cars more luxury but accumulation without wisdom
382:04 luxury but accumulation without wisdom leads to to financial
382:06 leads to to financial strain many people assume that if they
382:08 strain many people assume that if they just made more money their financial
382:11 just made more money their financial problems would
382:12 problems would disappear but income is not the issue
382:16 disappear but income is not the issue stewardship
382:17 stewardship is there are those who make little yet
382:20 is there are those who make little yet live with peace and there are those who
382:23 live with peace and there are those who make much yet are drowning in debt
382:25 make much yet are drowning in debt Financial control begins with
382:28 Financial control begins with mindset with understanding that money is
382:31 mindset with understanding that money is a resource that must be managed wisely
382:35 a resource that must be managed wisely rather than spent

382:40 recklessly budgeting is one of the most powerful tools for financial
382:43 powerful tools for financial control many avoid it because they do
382:46 control many avoid it because they do not want to feel restricted but in
382:48 not want to feel restricted but in reality a budget provides Freedom it
382:51 reality a budget provides Freedom it ensures that money is being used
382:53 ensures that money is being used intentionally that there is a plan for
382:55 intentionally that there is a plan for every dollar that financial decisions
382:57 every dollar that financial decisions align with long-term
382:59 align with long-term goals without a budget money is easily
383:02 goals without a budget money is easily wasted small unnecessary expenses add up
383:06 wasted small unnecessary expenses add up over time and before realizing it
383:08 over time and before realizing it financial resources are depleted on
383:10 financial resources are depleted on things that bring
383:12 things that bring no lasting value but with a plan in
383:15 no lasting value but with a plan in place money serves its
383:19 place money serves its purpose rather than disappearing without
383:23 purpose rather than disappearing without accountability another key to financial
383:25 accountability another key to financial control is learning the difference
383:27 control is learning the difference between needs and want many Financial
383:30 between needs and want many Financial struggles come from confusing the two a
383:34 struggles come from confusing the two a need need is essential food shelter
383:37 need need is essential food shelter Health stability a want is extra luxury
383:41 Health stability a want is extra luxury items entertainment upgrades that are
383:44 items entertainment upgrades that are not
383:45 not necessary there is nothing wrong with
383:47 necessary there is nothing wrong with enjoying money but when Once are
383:49 enjoying money but when Once are prioritized over needs financial
383:52 prioritized over needs financial problems arise a wise person learns to
383:55 problems arise a wise person learns to be content to live within their means to
383:58 be content to live within their means to appreciate what they have rather than
384:01 appreciate what they have rather than constantly chasing more contentment does
384:05 constantly chasing more contentment does not mean settling it means having peace
384:07 not mean settling it means having peace with what is already provided while
384:09 with what is already provided while working toward greater Financial wisdom
384:13 working toward greater Financial wisdom debt is another burden that many carry
384:16 debt is another burden that many carry unnecessarily some debt is unavoidable
384:19 unnecessarily some debt is unavoidable but much of it is a result of poor
384:22 but much of it is a result of poor financial choices credit cards loans for
384:26 financial choices credit cards loans for things that are not essential living
384:28 things that are not essential living beyond Financial
384:29 beyond Financial limits these habits create a cycle of

404:50 things are going well they're happy and full of Hope but the moment something
404:52 full of Hope but the moment something goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts
404:54 goes wrong their entire Outlook shifts and they spiral into discouragement or
404:57 and they spiral into discouragement or frustration this instability prevents
405:00 frustration this instability prevents growth because it keeps a person at the
405:02 growth because it keeps a person at the mercy of the circumstance ances true

418:02 negative thought patterns and replace them with positive ones the more the
418:04 them with positive ones the more the mind is trained to think correctly the
418:07 mind is trained to think correctly the less room there is for thoughts that
418:10 less room there is for thoughts that bring fear and
418:12 bring fear and discouragement selft talk is another
418:14 discouragement selft talk is another powerful factor in controlling the

418:20 Mind many people are their own worst critics speaking words of doubt and
418:22 critics speaking words of doubt and failure to themselves without realizing
418:24 failure to themselves without realizing the damage it
418:26 the damage it does the way a person speaks to
418:28 does the way a person speaks to themselves matters if the inner dialogue
418:32 themselves matters if the inner dialogue is constantly negative confidence and
418:34 is constantly negative confidence and motivation will be weakened but if selft
418:37 motivation will be weakened but if selft talk is filled with encouragement with
418:40 talk is filled with encouragement with reminders of past
418:42 reminders of past victories with Declarations of faith and
418:45 victories with Declarations of faith and possibility then the Mind becomes a
418:48 possibility then the Mind becomes a source of strength rather than weakness

438:09 possessions but in Financial Freedom the world encourages a mindset of
438:11 world encourages a mindset of excess bigger houses newer cars more
438:15 excess bigger houses newer cars more luxury but accumulation without wisdom
438:17 luxury but accumulation without wisdom leads to financial
438:19 leads to financial strain many people assume that if they
438:22 strain many people assume that if they just made more money their financial
438:24 just made more money their financial problems would
438:26 problems would disappear but income is not the issue

440:11 be content to live within their means to appreciate what they have rather than
440:15 appreciate what they have rather than constantly chasing more contentment does
440:18 constantly chasing more contentment does not mean settling it means having peace

442:54 that they are not ruled by money but are in control of how they use it the mind
442:57 in control of how they use it the mind is the battlefield where victories and
443:00 is the battlefield where victories and defeats begin every action decision and
443:03 defeats begin every action decision and outcome in life starts as a thought if
443:06 outcome in life starts as a thought if the mind is filled with doubt negativity
443:09 the mind is filled with doubt negativity and fear those thoughts will eventually
443:12 and fear those thoughts will eventually manifest in actions and habits that
443:14 manifest in actions and habits that reflect them but if the mind is guarded

443:35 their ability to succeed controlling the mind is not an
443:38 mind is not an option it is a necessity for living a
443:41 option it is a necessity for living a life of Peace wisdom and purpose many
443:45 life of Peace wisdom and purpose many people live their lives at the mercy of
443:47 people live their lives at the mercy of their thoughts they allow worries to
443:49 their thoughts they allow worries to consume them fears to paralyze them and
443:51 consume them fears to paralyze them and negative experiences from the past to
443:53 negative experiences from the past to Define them they entertain thoughts of
443:55 Define them they entertain thoughts of failure of rejection of impossibility
443:58 failure of rejection of impossibility and then wonder why they struggle to
443:59 and then wonder why they struggle to move forward forward but the mind is not
444:02 move forward forward but the mind is not meant to be a Dumping Ground for every
444:05 meant to be a Dumping Ground for every negative idea that comes along it must
444:06 negative idea that comes along it must be guarded with
444:08 be guarded with intention disciplined with wisdom and

444:14 aligned with truth just as a garden must be maintained to keep out weeds the Mind
444:17 be maintained to keep out weeds the Mind must be cultivated to keep out
444:20 must be cultivated to keep out destructive thoughts scripture teaches
444:23 destructive thoughts scripture teaches that as a person thinks so they become
444:26 that as a person thinks so they become this means that what fills the mind will
444:28 this means that what fills the mind will eventually shape Behavior habit
444:30 eventually shape Behavior habit and identity if the mind is constantly
444:33 and identity if the mind is constantly focused on problems life will feel
444:36 focused on problems life will feel overwhelming if the mind is focused on
444:39 overwhelming if the mind is focused on lack there will always be a sense of not
444:40 lack there will always be a sense of not having enough but if the mind is focused
444:43 having enough but if the mind is focused on Solutions on possibilities on faith
444:47 on Solutions on possibilities on faith and
444:49 and growth then opportunities and
444:51 growth then opportunities and breakthroughs will begin to appear the
444:54 breakthroughs will begin to appear the mind is powerful and what is fed into it
444:57 mind is powerful and what is fed into it determines what will come out of it one
445:00 determines what will come out of it one of the greatest dangers of an
445:02 of the greatest dangers of an undisciplined mind is that it easily
445:03 undisciplined mind is that it easily becomes influenced by external voices
445:05 becomes influenced by external voices the world is full of opinions
445:07 the world is full of opinions distractions and noise that compete for
445:09 distractions and noise that compete for attention social media news and
445:11 attention social media news and conversations filled with negativity can
445:13 conversations filled with negativity can slowly shape thinking without even
445:15 slowly shape thinking without even realizing
445:16 realizing it a mind that is not guarded will
445:20 it a mind that is not guarded will absorb these
445:22 absorb these influences allowing fear doubt and
445:25 influences allowing fear doubt and anxiety to take root but controlling the
445:28 anxiety to take root but controlling the Mind means being selective about what is
445:31 Mind means being selective about what is allowed in it means filtering out

446:01 important to fill the mind with things that are uplifting educational and
446:03 that are uplifting educational and inspiring reading learning and
446:05 inspiring reading learning and meditating on Truth help to rewire
446:07 meditating on Truth help to rewire negative thought patterns and replace
446:09 negative thought patterns and replace them with positive ones the more the
446:11 them with positive ones the more the mind is trained to think correctly the
446:14 mind is trained to think correctly the less room there is for thoughts that
446:17 less room there is for thoughts that bring fear and
446:19 bring fear and discouragement selft talk is another

446:27 Mind many people are their own worst critics speaking words of doubt and
446:29 critics speaking words of doubt and failure to the themselves without
446:31 failure to the themselves without realizing the damage it
446:33 realizing the damage it does the way a person speaks to
446:35 does the way a person speaks to themselves matters if the inner dialogue
446:38 themselves matters if the inner dialogue is constantly negative confidence and
446:41 is constantly negative confidence and motivation will be weakened but if selft
446:44 motivation will be weakened but if selft talk is filled with encouragement with
446:46 talk is filled with encouragement with reminders of past
446:48 reminders of past victories with Declarations of faith and
446:52 victories with Declarations of faith and possibility then the Mind becomes a
446:55 possibility then the Mind becomes a source of strength rather than weakness

455:48 Anger they respond impulsively they engage in unnecessary debates and as a
455:51 engage in unnecessary debates and as a result tension
455:53 result tension increases but wisdom teaches that
455:57 increases but wisdom teaches that silence can be more powerful than words
456:00 silence can be more powerful than words choosing to remain quiet when emotions
456:03 choosing to remain quiet when emotions are high when negativity is present or
