Ever think about what you're thinking about?
If you can do that, then you have an advantage in life you may not be aware of.
You can change your thoughts and then change your life.
I believe that mind reading is a myth. I do not think people are clairvoyant.
I'm sorry if you have paid money to a medium or psychic. You can't get a refund.
The only person in your head is you. The door to your brain is closed unless you open your mouth.
Thoughts are private for a reason.
Our thoughts then are not who we are, they are only what we could become.
Advertisers are a good example.
You end up asking yourself "Why am I really eating Skittles?"
Co-dependent relationships can fertile ground for this. A narcissist can take full advantage.
Your thoughts are just lines of words or ideas, they won't become real unless you dwell on them.
It goes deeper!
Your thinking is lightning fast, random and complex all at the same time.
If anyone were to hear your thoughts it would probably drive them insane!
Why are we given this ability to hear our own voice and the voice of others in our heads?
No one else can hear it but us.
People may be able to read our thoughts based on the look on our faces but not normally.
You just may have a permanently confused look!
Our brains are the buffers for what we say.
There is a scripture that says be slow to speak.
Our thoughts then are not who we are, they are only what we could become.
You can choose your thoughts.
If you don't choose them, there are other forces who want to choose them for you.
Advertisers are a good example.
If they can choose your thoughts, they can manipulate your lifestyle.
You end up asking yourself "Why am I really eating Skittles?"
In the movie, inception, they tried to plant an idea thought deep within someones mind. It worked.
Co-dependent relationships can fertile ground for this. A narcissist can take full advantage.
Your thoughts are just lines of words or ideas, they won't become real unless you dwell on them.
They shape who you are and what you do.
I don't want to know what's going on in your head. It would scare me and everyone else on the planet.
We may even lock you up.
BUT
Those thoughts can be changed. That's what the word repentance means.
It's common to think that when you hear the word repent, it means that you have to change your behavior.
It goes deeper!
Change the way you think, behavior will follow.
Behavioral change is not the end goal of living as a Christian anyway.
Any animal can be trained to do tricks. We want a quality of life!
Try thinking about what you're thinking about...and that's a first step to change.
