 Are feelings entirely real, or are they learned from experiences over time? Why can they and why do they change? Can we control our feelings? How others feel about us can affect how we feel about ourselves. We should encourage one another to exercise our best qualities while we simultaneously work on our worse ones. The ability to grow beyond our shortcomings emanates from the strengths we already possess. Losing sight of this can cause discouragement and create depression. Whatever we do in any moment describes what we are momentarily but does not completely define who we are in totality.

 Solving any problem begins by identifying it, acknowledging it and then dealing with it. Putting problems into proper perspective requires exercising control over our thoughts and our words (what we say). "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." What we think is greatly influenced by how we learned to perceive the things we see and hear. This is what we call perspective. Paying attention to our environment is paramount. The forces, people and energies within them can affect our minds. The mind takes on nourishment just as the body does. Fast foods may produce instant gratification but generally don't provide the proper nutrition for sustained growth. The skill of processing thought develops with bias but improves through exercising contemplation. We can choose to ignore and/or look away when our minds refuse to ponder and process what our sensory faculties reveal. Spiritually blinded intellectual faculties hinder personal progress! Sometimes clear vision can only come when we create the conditions that foster i-n-s-i-g-h-t.  "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
