"Developing the Right Anchor Thoughts"
-shake off the destructive thoughts and remind yourself that you are the "apple of God's eye"
-get back to your original factory settings found in the Bible--"whatever you touch will succeed", "God loves you"
-Psalms "all day long we should meditate on God's blessings" - reprogram your mind
-dwell on positives (Col 3:2) "set your mind and keep dwelling on good things"
-replace negative thoughts with God's truths - "guard your heart and mind"
-even if influential authority figures (parents, teachers, coaches, etc) are negative, don't water these wrong thoughts and limit your potential and become a stronghold (bitter, angry) because God's word supercedes those words!
