Correct Problems in Your Thinking

Would You Let a Bird Build a Nest in Your Hair?
Many of the problems people experience come from problems in their thinking. They are tormented by the thoughts of fear; they rehearse past injuries; they are critical of themselves and of others.
Understand this: You have absolute control over the thoughts in your brain. You get to pick and choose which thoughts you allow in.
Billy Graham, the famous evangelist, once said, "Thoughts are like a big flock of birds flying over your head. You can’t stop them from flying over…but you can stop one from building a nest in your hair."
Thoughts of unforgiveness; thoughts of fear; critical thoughts; thoughts of potential disaster…will always tempt you.
When a thought like this suggests itself to you, you can receive it…or refuse it.
Use this phrase when confronted with a negative thought:
"That’s NOT my thought!"
