Some people today are not really enjoying their lives because of the condition of their minds. They constantly dwell on negative, destructive, harmful thoughts. They don't realize it, but the root cause of many of their problems is simply the fact that their thought life is out of control. They just dwell on any thought that comes there way.

More than ever, we have to understand that our lives follow our thoughts. If we think negative thoughts, then we're going to live a negative life. If we think discouraging, hopeless thoughts,  then our lives is going to go down that exact same pathway. That's why we have to take captive of our thought and renew our minds with the Word of God on daily basis.

I want to challenge you today to think about what you're thinking about. Don't let those self-defeating thoughts linger in your mind. Instead, speak God's promises over your life. Declare what He says about you. Take captive of your thought and renew your mind daily.

The first step to becoming a confident, effective inter-cultural
communicator is knowing how to communicate your own culture -- and
yourself -- to others.
The knowledge of cultural differences, and self-knowledge of how we
respond to these differences can help make us aware of hidden prejudices
and stereotypes that can be barriers to tolerance, understanding, and
good communication.
Which of your cultural values do you value most? Which of your cultural
beliefs and experiences would you most like to share and celebrate with
others?
The more you understand your own cultural beliefs, values, and
attitudes, the better prepared you will be to recognize, understand, and
accept the cultural beliefs and behaviors of others.
