Good morning.
Before we know it, 2024 will be here. We all know the beginning of the year is a great time for a fresh start in your life, don't we. It’s when we try new diets, new budgets, and (often) new plans for our lives.
If you’re already eyeing a change in 2024, don’t overlook the most important place to start: All change starts in your mind.
• Your thoughts direct your life. Every action and reaction in your life begins as a thought. If you don’t think it, it won’t happen. Good thoughts lead to good behavior. Bad thoughts lead to bad behavior. That means anything you’re hoping to change about your life in 2024, starts in your thoughts.
• Your struggles in 2023 were in your mind. Every struggle you felt this year was centered in your mind. You may not be surprised that internal struggles - depression, fear, anxiety, etc. - are rooted in your brain. But even external ones, such as conflicts in your family or at work, start in your mind.
• Your mind is where God’s spirit is at work in you. Paul tells us: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2)
2024 could be the most important year of your life. It may be the year that changes you and your family forever. But if that change is going to happen, it’ll start in your mind.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
