Chapters

You've probably heard, you are what you eat, or garbage in, garbage out is an old code term. The other way to put it is, in our situation, you are what you think about. If you spend all your time thinking about what you feel you've missed out on, thinking about what was done to you, thinking about what you've been through, thinking about the struggles or the challenges that you face, then they are the only things that are going to occupy your mind. Instead, I would suggest, and I talk a lot about this in Deal With It, is you have to live forward. You have to be continually moving forward emotionally and mentally, relationally. You have to have a goal ahead of where you are in order to progress from where you feel you're currently stuck. Feeling stuck is a horrible feeling. The only way through that is by changing the way you think about yourself, your circumstance, and your situation.
