We are all here because of the way we think. When a lion sees an elephant, the only thing on his mind is lunch. Now, the elephant is ten times bigger than the lion, probably fifty times heavier, and has more power; one stomp of his feet could destroy the lion. But when the lion sees the elephant, he looks at lunch, not size, weight, strength, and power. I could eat this thing, and he acts the way he thinks. The size of the elephant is not a problem, and its weight is not his concern. What makes him act is the way he thinks, and since he believes he can eat the elephant, he attacks. Here is another incredible mystery.
The elephant is larger, stronger, more powerful, heavier, and more intelligent than the lion. But when the elephant sees the lion, one word comes to mind: predator. Because he believes he is lunch, his size, weight, power, might, and authority are all victims of his thinking. Attitude is the quick way to altitude.
You Are What You Think
You Are Your Thoughts
Your mind is the thing that keeps you small. Regardless of your size, intelligence, or the number of degrees you have, you are the product of your thoughts, whether they are positive or negative. How you think shapes your personality. Therefore, no matter how small you are, how unintelligent you appear to be, or how little you have, your mind makes you the leader. It is the person’s thinking that causes them to see things differently; attitude is a product of belief; you cannot have an attitude beyond your belief. Therefore, your belief system is what influences your attitude.
The lion is king because of his beliefs about himself, the elephant, and the giraffe; he believes they are lunch and that he can eat them. When they meet, his belief system governs the entire situation. A proud man is proud because of his thoughts, while a humble man is humble only because of his thoughts. The thoughts of a good man make him good. It all comes down to your thoughts. And so some people are constantly questioning things because that is how they think
Attitude Is The Quick Way To Altitude
. Yeshua said this to the Jews who confronted him. “Why do you think this way? he asked. He asked why such thoughts arise in their hearts and why they think in this manner. What you think is more important than what you do. Therefore, you must work on your attitude if you want to change. Everyone is a seed that was sent to the planet to produce a tree to serve the world. Your fruit is why you were born, and deep within you is a person no one knows about yet. What you have done so far is just an initiation process, which is why no one should cancel you yet because you are not quite ready.
Belief System
What You Believe
Your beliefs may be different from mine, but it was the Bible that helped shape who I am today. Therefore, please do not disrespect it. If you tell yourself, “I want to change the way I think,” the Bible is the tool that will enable you to do so. One must first submit to Yahweh to be impacted by His word. To submit to the word, one must surrender their heart, mind, and way of thinking. “Present your bodies as a holy, acceptable living sacrifice to Yahweh, which is your acceptable service.”. “Be not conformed to this world, but be ye converted by the renewing of your mind. That ye may test what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.”
I credit the Bible with making me who I am today. The scriptures have checked my thinking. “Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” says Ephesians 3:20. No one can live beyond the boundaries of their beliefs, so if you want to live beyond where you are now, you must change your belief system. Your life is what you think it is, and you should guard your heart with all diligence because the problems of life arise from it. Guard your heart with vigilance; your heart is a garden; you are what you believe you should be.
If You Do Not Like Who You Are Change Your Thoughts
If you do not like who you are, you must change what you believe you should be. You must change your perception of who you are, beginning with your belief system. You must also develop a sense of significance in your life and realise that you are important to the human race and the world. Allow your mind to be the mind of growth with the renewing of Yahweh’s word. In other words, give up your thinking and accept His way of thinking. You will be amazed, for like you, society taught me that you are nothing more than a social security number and just a worker in the system. But that is not true; you were born to do something very significant in the world, and you must get to the point where you believe.
Belief is so powerful that it can make an elephant behave like a sheep in the presence of a lion. You will be amazed at the blessings in your life; however, when we talk about blessings, we are not talking about earthly things; rather, there are higher blessings. What are you going to do with people who are so insecure that whenever they meet someone confident, they always call the confident person arrogant? When you discover who you are, you cannot help but be confident; confidence is a by-product of belief. What you believe about yourself determines how you think about yourself, and how you think about yourself determines how you act. When someone says they want to get to know you, ask if they are fertiliser or rock.
Spiritual Weeds
The Weeding Of Your Mind
Proverbs 24:30 says, “I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense; these are the proverbs of Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived until Yeshua.” This is a proverb about a person whose life is full of inaction; they are not going to do the necessary work. I want you to look beyond just the physical labour here. The Bible tells us there is such a thing as spiritual labour. “And by the vineyard of the man without understanding, lo, it was all overgrown with thorns and nettles; they covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
He claims I saw his field covered in thorns and weeds—his field, his garden, his vineyard—covered in thorns and weeds. This is a man without understanding; his field has been abandoned, and his mind has been neglected. There are some toxic people in your life right now; they will pollute your seed, and you will never emerge. Have you ever noticed how some people are going nowhere and want you to join them? People who have done nothing in life want you to participate in their endeavours. This is why, to improve, you must separate yourself from your friends.
Seek Whom You Can Learn From
If they continue to ask you questions, it is time to seek out people with whom you can ask questions; that is how you grow. Are you being trained to limit yourself? Now, I want to warn you that if you decide to commit a crime, all of your enemies will awaken in the office. Every critic you thought was your friend will suddenly awaken. The social environment is making you afraid to come out and take what is yours. Since people do not want you to leave them in their nothingness,. Consider this: if you are not introducing Yahweh’s word into your mind, studying Yahweh’s word, or putting it into practice, what do you expect?
Spiritual weeds are growing. You are getting more information from the world. There is more information from politics and more information from business, and all of these sources are not helping you spiritually. They are bringing in thorns and nettles, and your defences are breaking down. Sometimes you look at people’s lives and learn or see a lesson. When you look at someone and see what has happened to them, you have learned a lesson.
Mind’s Eye
Close Your Eyes, What Do You See?
There is a story about a man named Caleb. Moses told the Israelites to choose a leader from each tribe. He sent the twelve leaders into the land they were going to occupy. According to the Scriptures, when they returned from surveying the land that had already been promised to them, ten of them told Moses that the land had giants, and they looked like grasshoppers in their eyes. They did not question the giants to find out what they thought of them. Let me repeat that for you: They went to survey the land that was already theirs.
They saw some people in the land and returned to Moses, telling him the people were like giants, and then they said they were like grasshoppers in their eyes. Do you believe that you are a grasshopper? How do they know that you are who you think you are? However, “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will pounce on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.” The elephant truly believes it is a meal for a cat.
Caleb possessed the spirit of leadership, which is an attitude; he was not a man who was bigger or stronger than them; his thinking was different, and that was the only distinguishing factor that the creator said made the difference. Read that verse again; he says the only difference was their spirit, which was different. The word that means attitude is a small “s.” Listen, your mind is far more important than anything else.
Call To Action
Time For Action
Protect your heart with all diligence, because it is where life’s issues arise; the Bible says there is nothing new under the sun. If you want to understand human life, read the Bible. Man is just doing the same thing in different ways. You have to nurture yourself so that you can produce the right attitudes, and nurture means “feeding” yourself the right information. You are what you think, and you become what you continue to think, which is why I constantly monitor my thinking processes. My house is full of books, and I begin to run out of the house because you become what you think and cannot rise above the plane of your mental conditioning.
So, I have to constantly feed my way of thinking. I have to work on it so that I can raise my mental attitude. To change your life, you must first change your mind.

Hey hey Jerry
This is super, super deep stuff and im not sure there is much i can say because you said a lot. All I can do is agree and say that being a positive person helps with having a good attitude but if you believe something negative it can effect you attitude hence making you into a more negative person. So i agree that simply trying to fake a positive attitude is not gonna help its the mindset that needs to change first and this is done by ingesting positive things into your mind.
Boy every time i come to your site im dredding the long read but always finish learning something new and having had a positive interaction
Thank you Jerry
Thank you again ambassador for your feedback, I have taken your point on board and will cut the blog from 2500 words to 1500 words to shorten the read. I am glad you are enjoying the topics. Please spread the word
The length of this article is just about right. The advantage is that it leaves the reader like three quarters full. Full enough to go back to work and not too full to feel uncomfortable. You are left looking forward to next article in the series. Of the 6 or 7 most important words in life I think attitude tops all of them. The quality of writing is phenomenal. This top tier writing.
Thank you Wellie foryour feedback, every word noted and appreciate. Please spread the word to friends and family
