Are you tired of short lived decisions? Have you made that resolution year after year only to fail yourself? Are you fearful of making resolutions because you fear others notice that you break them? Well you're not alone. The good news is you can make a breakthrough this time. How?
Well I'm glad you asked...
Do you know that our mind is programmed to do what our thoughts tell it?
Our thoughts are very powerful, so what is a thought?
"A Thought": An idea or mental picture, imagined and contemplated
The bible tells us to take every thought captive
Whether you believe in the bible or not that is great advice and here's why:
In the words of ― Mahatma Gandhi
"Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”
What you believe become your thoughts...Do you see how powerful that statement is?
Gandhi also said: "A man is but the product of his thoughts - what he thinks, he becomes"
So I guess the Bible's wisdom along with Gandhi's is 'Spot ON!'
What you will to think, you do become
Notice I added the action word "will" to that statement
You have a 'will' and you have to 'will' to do anything in life
Your 'will' is changeable, which means you can choose to will anything
That's Powerful! You have the POWER to WILL what you think and believe
I once heard someone share that when it comes to thoughts and the mind a great way to take your thoughts captive is to image a receptionist in your mind. Their job is to check every thought before it enters. They have the power to reject a thought prior to changing our mind.
You deserve to achieve your goals and dreams. The only thing holding you back is your will and the first and following thought. So why not will to change the way you think!
This year when you make that resolution, resolve to use your inner receptionist to check ALL thoughts at the door! Reject all negative thoughts that will fail you before they gain entry to your mind. Just put a big STOP sign in your mind and make sure that the only thoughts you allow in are those that will further your goals, ultimately making your dreams come true. You can have it all...just do it!
It's Just Me, Val Ciao'
