Wrong Mindset.
Brethren, remember great change can’t happen with the wrong mindset, you can’t reach what’s in front of you until you let go of what’s behind you. Remember If you don’t let the past die, then it won’t let you live. There will be many chapters in your life. Don’t get lost in the one you’re in now. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your Christian values(1 Corinthians 2:9).
DO NOT HAVE THE WRONG MINDSET
That means that you change your thoughts (the wrong mindset), and your immediate world will change. Only you can change your life. No one else can do it for you. The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be today. Brethren, you must try to be the change you wish to see in your immediate world. Don’t be the kind of a person, who when the winds of change blow, starts to build walls instead of joining others in building windmills.
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude (the wrong mindset). Sometimes your bad attitude is like a flat tyre; if you don’t change it, you’ll never go anywhere. Let’s learn to take small steps every day in the right direction, avoid thinking about what can happen in a month or a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be.
For this change to happen, remember that life is like an elevator; on your way up, sometimes, you have to stop and let some people, habits, mindsets, and patterns go. Now you know that the biggest mistake you have made in your life is letting people stay in your life far longer than they deserve. Some people who don’t let your Christianity shine are like clouds. When they disappear, it’s a beautiful day.
Brethren do not tell me that it’s too late to change your wrong mindset, yes, I know, you can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. Don’t ruin a good day by thinking about a bad one yesterday, let it go. Falling down is an accident. Staying down is a choice. Generally, people like to bring up your past, when your present and future appear to be better than theirs. Never forget that you were born with the ability to change someone’s life, don’t ever waste it.

How Long Does It Take To Change Your Wrong Mindset?
Remember always that if you are the one doing it, it might take a while since there are a number of factors at play which you should consider, but if you involve God then it might be swift, after all, the Bible says in Proverbs 3:5, “Remember the LORD in everything you do, and he will show you the right way” so always, “ Ask the LORD to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out.”(Proverbs 16:3).
Brethren step out of your comfort zone and try new things, make small, positive changes in your daily life, and acknowledge and understand the lesson you learn, face your fears, and keep moving forward with a smile.
Always remember that a wrong mindset can cause you a great headache and make you miss many opportunities. So change your wrong mindset and you have changed your world for the better.
