Summary
I want to help you start your week with a mental reset. In this episode, I’m sharing something I believe can change the course of your life.
You are not the thoughts you think. You are the thoughts you believe. And the thoughts you believe, and speak, become the life you live.
You’re going to have negative thoughts. We all do. But here’s the key: they’re not from you. No one would choose to think, “You’re not enough,” or “There’s no hope.” Just like a nightmare, you don’t choose those thoughts, they just show up.
The good news? You don’t have to believe them. In this episode, I’ll show you how to stop letting those lies take root and start speaking truth, hope, and purpose into your life.
Let’s stop agreeing with the negativity and start winning the battle of the mind. Listen in and share this with someone who needs encouragement today.

| 0:05.0 | And I believe what I'm about to share with you has the ability to change the course of your life if you truly listen to this and understand this. |

| 0:20.0 | The thoughts we believe and the thoughts we speak become the life |
| 0:24.2 | and the reality that we live. You'll have a lot of negative thoughts. Those negative thoughts come in |
| 0:29.8 | often. I have my negative thoughts. You have yours. And yes, they do come in. But they're not coming from you. |

| 0:55.9 | place. They come in from consciousness. And just because you have a negative thought doesn't mean |
