1 Samuel 17:30

"In 1 Samuel 17:30, David's older brother mocks him when he steps up to fight Goliath. But what does David do?

He turns away and speaks to someone else.

That's not just a throwaway moment-it's a masterclass in mindset.

David doesn't waste energy arguing with someone stuck in small thinking. He doesn't try to win the argument-he's focused on winning the war.

He knew his purpose. He had a giant to kill.

So he turned his back on the noise and kept moving forward.

Lesson: Don't let negative energy take up space in your mind.

You've got a mission. You've got your own Goliath.

Turn away from the doubters-and handle business."
