We human beings are very special creations. There is one characteristic that we have independent of any other animal. There is one characteristic that uniquely sets us apart. Can you guess what that one characteristic is? If you guessed "imagination" you are right. Music has saturated every civilized culture. Today, however, our music has become dominated by antisocial behavior suggestions. Our minds, through our music, absorb everything kind of suggestion from sex, drugs, violence, lust, suicide, rape, and disrespect of others. Any student who truly desires to become a true champion in life must be selective about what lyrics they allow their music to escort into their consciences. And as you know, your imagination isn't left alone with the words since today the music video can direct your imagination to build a false reality. Before long we attempt to live out these false realities only to discover we've been duped, bamboozled, hoodwinked! Life isn't really like what we've seen on the video...in fact the video is somebody else's reality, not yours. It's all make believe. Reality is, it's hard to be a champion. Reality is, we have tough decisions to make. We have to protect our minds from unhealthy suggestions that we often find in our music. Once the thought is in the mind it soon decides to migrate to the heart. Once in the heart, it then becomes what you are. Unfortunately people around you will recognize this before you. By the time you realize it, you will have already made many poor decisions that all of the money in the world can't change. Remember, you only get one shot at this thing called life. What music are you listening to today? |

It is important to guard our emotions, our hearts. But equally, if not more so, we must guard our thoughts. Here is where many teenagers begin their end.
