thoughts.

For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You stand there or, “Sit here at my footstool,” have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?” James 2:2-4

Evil thoughts. That's it, isn't it? Every action, good or bad, begins with our thoughts. Partiality is simply an overflow of what is already going on in our minds. The same is true of everything else that we do.
As I'm working and living with my team, I will strive to believe the best, instead of assuming the worst. Then, the war will have been won within my thoughts, before it ever even hits the battle ground with others.

Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
