It’s going to take discipline because when you’ve been thinking one way a long time, you’re going to want to go back to the old habits. It’s like driving on autopilot. You don’t have to think about it. You’re used to feeling guilty, inferior, expecting the worst, can’t break the addiction, never get out of debt. Those are learned behaviors. You’re going to have to dig down deep and take control of what you think. You get to choose what you dwell on. When the same negative thoughts come, you’ll be tempted to get on that highway. “It’s already built. It’s what I’m used to.” No, don’t give those thoughts permission to stay. They will come, but you don’t have to dwell on them. If you dismiss it, the thought dies. It doesn’t have any power. It’s repetitive thoughts that build the highways. When we’re constantly thinking, “It’s going to be a great day. I’m blessed. I’m strong. I’m healthy. I have the favor of God.” Think of the roads you’re building in your brain. Think about how that’s impacting your future, your self-image, your confidence. Versus, “I’m unworthy. I’ve made too many mistakes. I can’t get a good break. Everyone in my family struggles.” Your thinking is the command center. You are giving orders to your neurons to form how your brain functions, to create the roadways to become what you think.
