The Bible states “for as a man think in his soul so is he (Proverbs, 23:7). Could it be possible a man’s thoughts could create his life. Science is showing that emotions are communicated in our body language, and those feelings are contagious to individual who are in our sphere of influence (De Gelder, 2006).  Studies indicate that 93% of all communication occurs through body language (De Gelder, 2006). Research demonstrates our body language is a direct reflection of our true inner thoughts and is difficult to mask with words (De Gelder, 2006).   Neurobiologists assert that emotions are a reflex form of thinking, which leads to action (De Gelder, 2006). The actions we take in our life are what create our experiences. If a great deal of our life is controlled by reflexes, it could be argued we have little control over our thoughts. The only way for a man to have control over his inner thought life is to focus on things greater then himself “He who rules his own sprit, mind, will, emotion is greater than he who takes a city” (Proverbs, 15:32).
