One Thought Changes Everything

As part of my spiritual practice, I fast on the first Sunday of every month.  For twenty-four hours, I don’t eat or drink and I spend that time noticing my utter dependence on God and how much abundance he provides in my life.  I also ask for specific blessings I want in my life.

And every time I do it, my human brain protests.  My brain never wants to fast.  Its instinct is always to eat.

And what it says to me most often when I am fasting is, “It doesn’t matter.  None of this matters.  It’s not going to make a difference.  We should just eat.”

My brain is so convincing, I almost want to believe it.  

But it always matters.  It matters in my relationship with God.  And it matters in my relationship with me.  In fact, learning to choose what I really want over what my brain wants is probably the only thing that matters.  

It’s the whole reason I came to earth.

And it’s the same for you.

There are probably lots of things you want to do.  But your brain doesn’t.  It wants to eat.  It wants to rest.  It wants to hide.  It wants to take it easy and never fail.  And to get what it wants, your brain probably tells you that it doesn’t matter and that you don’t need to do it because it’s not going to make a difference anyway.

I think that even one thought can change our lives.  What would happen if you just changed this one?  What would you create in your life if every time your brain said, “It doesn’t matter,” you decided to think it did?

Imagine the impact of deciding to think, “Of course it matters” over and over again.  For the rest of your life.  What could you create if you did?

Even one thought can change your life.  

What is the one that will change yours?
