Fill your mind.

Fill your mind with beauty and truth. Meditate on whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is good, whatever is virtuous and praiseworthy. – Philippians 4:8

If I don’t fill my mind up with beauty and truth every single day inevitably the mental mouse trap gets me and – snap! – comparison and envy and negativity take hold.

It’s tempting to wish my mind would be programmed on autopilot to just focus on the good. Instead, I have to intentionally choose that which is lovely and good and praiseworthy. And when I do make the choice to change my mind, I only get more of that in my day. Like follows like.
