Guarding the Gates of Your Mind
This morning, I’m reminding myself that most battles are won or lost long before anything happens on the outside. The real fight is at the gates of my mind... what I allow in, what I dwell on, what I give authority to. I keep this warning close: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” That truth hits hard, because it means my life follows the direction of my thoughts.
If my mind is undisciplined, my actions will be unstable. If my thoughts drift toward fear, compromise, or comparison, my steps will follow. But if I hold the line mentally, if I filter my thoughts like a marine at his post, I become immovable. Today, I choose to stand watch over what enters my head and what settles in my heart.
Field Exercise:
Take five minutes and write down the one dominant thought you've been battling this week. Then counter it with a truth rooted in faith and discipline. Keep that truth visible today... phone lock screen, sticky note, whatever it takes. Repeat it every time the old thought tries to breach the gate.
Challenge:
Stand at the gates with vigilance. A disciplined mind builds a fortified life.
