Summary

On this week’s episode, I address a listener question on displacing negative thoughts.

You can’t leave your mind blank.

When we don’t choose what goes in our minds, our minds fill up with things that point our thoughts in other directions.
These directions may affect our choices in ways we would really rather not choose.
How many times have we said to ourselves, “what was I thinking?”

Think about this….

If I was to sing, “Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale…”
You would immediately think, “A tale of a fateful trip.”
But was there really a time that we sat down with a pen a pad and said that we wanted to learn this song?
We weren’t choosing anything at that time, but it made its way into our brains and it’s never going away.

There was a movie I saw in high school that totally freaked me out.

I don’t even remember why I was there, or who I was with when I saw it.
It has been decades since I’ve seen that movie, but I can’t forget the things that I saw.
Those images are not doing me any good.

Why not choose what does go in our minds?

Choose something that will benefit your family forever, or benefit what you believe your destiny to be.
It is important to choose.
You don’t have to read my books, but you better be reading something beneficial.

0:13.1	Hello and welcome to In the Loop with Andy Andrews. I'm your host, David Loy. Andy,
0:19.2	welcome and how are you today? I'm really good. Well, you're good
0:24.2	to that. You're like a talk show host, in a way. I have a, you probably know this. I think I've
0:30.5	told you this before. I do have a slight background in radio, a short-lived career in radio. Really?
0:36.1	So short that there's probably no evidence left of it anymore.
0:40.2	Well, you're good at this.
0:41.2	So I get a care.

0:49.7	It's kind of silly here.
0:50.6	The radio voice kicks in at the beginning,
0:52.2	and then you just go into normal conversation. So it's all right. Well, if we can, let's just jump right in. Okay. Jump right in. A great question. Jump right in, David. We have a, apparently, someone who has just recently exposed to you on the radio, just heard of you. You shouldn't put it that way. Okay. They've just exposed to me. But go ahead. Okay. Feel free to continue. How about this? Peggy is her name. Oh gosh. This is worse. She recently heard you for the first time on a national talk show, and she wrote a question immediately. Okay. It's a very lengthy question, so I've edited it down, Peggy, if you're listening.
1:31.7	I've shortened the question a little bit, but let me read this to you, Andy, real quick.
1:35.6	Peggy says, hi, Andy, I'm a brand new listener to In the Loop after hearing you for the very first time on Dr. Dobson's family talk.
1:43.4	And let me say, I am hooked. I'm very excited about
