I was trying to understand what blocks me think more positive. Why at times i am unable to control my mind and get carried away. I discussed with people in my community to understand if they have ever encountered such situations and how they feel that time. I asked what they do to overcome and gain more control over their mind.
In this process i came to learn great lessons from a story on mental slavery. I will narrate the story here in my words.
To be continued…
Have great time!
B +Ve!! 
My daily prayer as I give my mind to my Creator and Savior:
“Lord, please cleanse my mind of anything unholy, untrue, unimportant, and unnecessarily negative (that is, the depraved, the deceitful, the distracting, and the dark). Fill my mind instead with what is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.” (Philippians 4:8)
Focusing on Jesus first thing in the morning is the best way for me to get the day off to a good start and avoid the “mental slavery” you refer to.

My pleasure. And thank YOU for following “Seeking Divine Perspective.” May I ask where you live? I like to know where my followers are. (Isn’t it amazing that we can talk to people all over the world without leaving home?)
PS I live in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
