The renewed mind

It is good to analyze the kind of thoughts that goes on in our mind. Some will be spiritual thoughts that make a positive contribution to life, others will be thoughts about things that are not necessarily good or bad, and there will be thoughts that are definitely bad--and you realize this without being told. The quickest way to deteriorate or to degenerate is to allow your mind to be occupied with unworthy thoughts. Having good thoughts contributes to building character. When we think selfishly, covetously, jealously and lustfully, these characteristics will become evident in our character.
Romans 12 : 2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God
Proverb 23 : 7
For as he thinks within himself, so he is
Luke 6:45
The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart
