It’s incredible, if you think about it: How can something we can’t see control so much of who we are, determine what we feel and what we do and what we say or don’t, dictate how we move or sleep, and inform what we want, what we hate, and what we love?

Because how we think shapes how we live.

The greatest spiritual battle of our generation is being fought between our ears.

so that I could help everyone else, what I couldn’t possibly have known at the time was that I was about to need this healing myself.

So what is the one thought that can successfully interrupt every negative thought pattern? It’s this:

I have a choice.
