Phi 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praise worthy-meditate on these things. 

What we put into our minds determines what comes out in the form of words and actions.  Paul tells us to program our mind with thoughts that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise.  Examine what you are putting into your mind through television, internet, books, conversations, movies, and magazines.  Replace harmful inputs with wholesome materials.  Above all read God’s word and pray.  Ask God to help you focus your mind on what is good and pure.  It takes practice, but it can be done!

Determine your own thought life, don’t allow others to influence you to live your life according to others.  Allow your mind to dwell on things that bring peace to you and Glory to God.
