how is my mind...?

so once in a while i am here to give advice to my friends... and usually they listen. but then again, sometimes i need to stop and give the advice to myself as well, because i am not following what i have been saying. since i am convicted by the things people say in response to my comments, i am encouraged, but at the same time am wondering what to be continuing on in. thus forth from this day, i will not be discuraged when someone says "well yeah, but here's what i think on this topic." because the purpose of encouragement and exortation is so that you can refresh your view on things and find perhaps a different view on some things.
