Notes:
-Your life is moving in the direction of your strongest thoughts.
-Negative thinking is one of the greatest tools of our enemy.
Main categories of negative thinking:
1. Negative filtering. Focusing on the worst thing.
2. Cynicism. General distrust of people and motives.
3. Absolute thinking. All or nothing, black or white conclusion.
4. Blaming. Always putting the responsibility on someone else.
5. Self-sabotage. Believing the worst about yourself.
-Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.
-Training your body isn't just what you do with it, but what you put into it.
Summary: Our minds can be transformed and we can experience peace when we meditate on positive, God-honoring thoughts.
