Our Thoughts Determine Our Results

" Achieving the 4:8 Principle in Life"

Have you ever owned a high performance car?  Normally, they require premium fuel to operate as they were designed to operate.  If you put the wrong fuel into these vehicles, they typically don’t run at their optimum.  Well, such is the same with how we are designed as humans.  God has designed in his image, that means, we are designed for high performance and top end results.  Each of us has gifts and talents that give us the edge to deliver superior results, but that requires we put the right”GAS” into our engine daily!   What high end fuel is to a car, the right “thoughts” are fuel to our body.  The secret to a successful life revolves around our predominating thoughts.  Our predominating thoughts throughout the day are directly put into our human engine known as our subconscious mind or our unconscious mind.   In this part of the mind, thoughts cannot be rejected.  So if we are thinking thoughts of fear, angry, jealousy or worry most of the day, we can be assured that these will be directly deposited into our subconscious mind (OUR MOTOR) and they will manifest themselves into our behavior and our results in life.   So the secret is being able to control and monitor what we think about and to  make sure we are putting only the right thoughts or fuel into our engines.
