I can't control the things that happen to me each day, but I can control how I think about them. I can say to myself, "I have a choice to have destructive thoughts or constructive thoughts right now.

Indeed, when we gain new perspectives, we can see new ways of thinking.

Too many of us live with an uncontrolled thought life. It is possible to learn to identify destructive thoughts and make wiser choices. Instead of letting those thoughts rumble freely about in my mind, I make the choice to harness them and direct them toward truth.

when you and I roll around in thoughts that stink, it affects the atmosphere everywhere we go.
