Change Your Autopilot
| Quote: | | "Be careful how you think; Your life is shaped by your thoughts". Proverbs 4:23 TEV |
Behind everything you do- there's a thought! So if you want to change your life you have to change your thinking.
Imagine riding in a speed boat with an autopilot set to go east . If you suddenly deside to go west, you've two possible options: #1 grab the wheel and force it to head in the opposite direction from where it was programmed to go. By sheer will power you could overcome the autopilot, but you'd feel resistance. Your arms would eventually tire, you'd let go of the wheel, and guess what?
The boat would turn and head back east, the way it's internally programmed to go. Or #2 You could change your autopilot
That's what happens when you try to change your life through will power: "I'll force myself to eat less, exercise more, quit being disorganized,ect. Yep will power can produce short-term change, but it creates constant stress because you haven't dealt with the root cause.
The change doesn't feel natural, so eventually you give up, go off your diet, quit exercising, and revert to your patterns.
Thank God there's a better way! Change Your Autopilot- the way you think!
| Quote: | | "Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think" Romans12:2 NLT |
Change always starts in your mind. The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way feel determines the way you act.
"But how can I change the way I think?" you ask.
By reprogramming your mind with God's word. Try it, it works! 
"Change Your Autopilot!"
