Pathway in the Mind

Recently, I read a quote from Henry David Thoreau

that made me think about the minds of leaders.

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”

From there, God’s Word showed me that where I allow my mind to focus will affect me spiritually and as a leader.

Lord, may all leaders think on things that are honorable, just, pure, and well-pleasing to You. Php 4:8

I pray daily for our leaders to seek God’s wisdom and to make decisions that are for the common good! Your post is very encouraging!

This is good leadership advice, gracelead. I often find myself recirculating negative memories from the past. But this only sabotages the present and compromises my ability to lead in the future. I enjoy you blog! You make one good point, without using too many words. This allows we to take your nugget of leadership truth and be on my way. Blessings!

Lead with Grace
