R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Thoughts

"You have control over three things (1) what you think, (2) what you say, (3) how you behave. To make a change in your life, you must recognize these gifts are the most powerful tools you possess in shaping the form of your life."
Sonya Friedman

We often forget the fact that we each are the shaper of our own life. Sometimes it doesn't seem like that. Often it feels as if our destiny is determined by other people. But that is absolutely NOT the case. We have control of the things that matter ... what we think ... what we say ... and how we behave. Being in charge of those three things makes all the difference. Everything else is superficial. Everything else is just the canvas on which we paint our life. We can choose to think negative, depressing thoughts or encouraging, uplifting thoughts. We can choose to say ugly words or powerful, positive words. We can choose to lay down and die in our despair or we can get up, put our shoulders back and create an amazing, purposeful, sparkly, flourishing life. Which do you choose?

"...I set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life ..."
Deuteronomy 30:19 (NIV)
