Your mind is sacred territory, and you need to carefully choose what you allow inside. Tablets, smartphones, computers and televsion have an endless supply of content that they are pushing into your mind, and much of that content is toxic waste.
Great lives are built on great thoughts, and miserable lives are built on drivel and hype.
When we should be filling our mind with great ideas, we spend our time filling our minds with mental toxic waste. Our minds become dumpsters.
God gave you a brain designed to think great thoughts, and the toxic media of the twenty-first century turns it into a trash bin.
There are two problems with putting toxic waste into your mind.
1. It fills your mind with thoughts that are unworthy of who you are. Unfortunately, once you put the garbage in, it's there forever. You can can't unthink, unsee, or undo anything that gets into your mind. Once it get's inside, it will never leave. That is why PTSD is such a problem. You can't go into rewind and disengage.
2. Unregulated and unlimited media is a time waster. Wasted time is a trash bin in which you throw what could have been. If you watch televsion and cruise the World Wide Web for five hours a day, that is five hours you will not be working on your dreams. There are only twenty-four hours in a day, and the way you use each hour is a choice. Choosing to do one thing, means you choose to not do something else. You can't have it both ways. You can have your dreams or you can have your daily dose of media, but you can't have them both. It's one or the other.
Many people think I'm a little hard on media. After all, it's only chewing gum for your mind, and perhaps they are right. Some people want to live in Nowhere Land and don't want to do anything with their life. A wide screen high definition television is an excellent way to anesthetize their mind so they forget about their dreams.
Entertainment is not about great ideas. It is the antithesis of great ideas.
I don't want to be entertained five hours a day. I want to engage life and make my dreams happen. I want to change the world.
I don't want other people to manipulate me and choose what gets into my mind. I build my future thought by thought, and the most important thing I do every day is choose which thoughts I allow into my mind. I cannot imagine why I would want to turn my mind over to media moguls and allow them to choose what gets inside. Just the thought of them pushing their stuff into my mind makes me feel ill.
That may be ok for some people, but it's not ok for me. I'm constantly on the prowl looking for great thoughts that I can put into my mind, because I know that great lives are built on great thoughts.
I've built my life on a few great thoughts.
I believe that everyone has the ability to achieve excellence in at least one area of their life. I chose medicine as my area of excellence.
I believe that I can change the world one person at a time, one website at a time, one graphic at a time, one podcast at a time, and one eBook at a time.
I believe that the most important thing I do in my life is raise my children, and if my children grow up to have good values, if they have good self-esteem, and if they are still my best friend, then I am a success.
I believe that sailing around the world with my family on a small yacht was one of the smartest things I ever did. It showed my children that it's possible to live their dreams.
I believe Land Rover Defenders are the most awesome expeditionary vehicles ever built. It's never over in a Rover, and God willing, I will drive one around the world.
Finally, I believe there is no limit to how good my life can become.
That's my short list of great thoughts. What's on your list?

When my beliefs are right, my world is right. My beliefs are the single most liberating or limiting factor in my life.
God placed dreams in my heart as a beacon that guides me through life. Those dreams get me up in the morning and carry me through the day. They keep me going when the going gets tough.

I change my mind in an instant of time. At the moment of change there is a shift in my beliefs about who I am, and what I can do.
Focus gives me powerful leverage over my mind. When I focus on a thought, it forces my mind to look in the direction of that thought.
Change finally happens when I am ready to change. Change takes a long time, because I take so much time getting ready.
Positive change isn't a matter of the will. Rather, it's a matter of being willing to do whatever it takes.
Change first happens in my mind, and then it happens in my life. It's impossible to make a positive change without fist changing the way I think.
BANISH THE WORD IMPOSSIBLE FROM YOUR MIND. Many people believe change is impossible. Most of the time they are confusing personality with behavior. The basic human personality is relatively constant over time, but behavior can and does change. Personal change happens when people change the way they think. I have numerous patients formerly addicted to meth, cocaine, heroine, and alcohol, who escaped their addictions without ever going to rehab. They simply arrived at a point where they no longer wanted to be prisoners of their addictions. They changed their belief about who they are and what they can do, and they became a different person who was chemical free.

Every time a negative thought enters my mind I take positive action to eliminate that thought.

Failure is never final unless I quit. Failure is a test, and if I keep moving in the direction of my dreams, I pass the test
Positive thoughts are hard to capture and keep in my mind. They flash by at the speed of light and then they are gone.
IMAGINE HOW GOOD YOUR LIFE WOULD BECOME IF YOU HAD A CONSISTENTLY POSITIVE MIND. A persistently positive focus creates a consistently positive mind. The same is true of your self-talk. It must be persistent, positive, and specific to have maximum impact. Lack of persistentce has laid more dreams to rest in the cemetery of failure than any other cause. There is zero chance that you will succeed on your first attempt. If your dreams are great, you will fail again and again on your way to the top.

I can change who I am by changing what I put into my mind. What I put into my mind is important because it changes who I am.
Excellence is the normal state of affairs in the human heart. God programmed excellence into my heart so that I would feel good when I live an excellent life.
Limitations do not come on tablets of stone from the hand of God. They are a choice, and I choose to not have any.
Limiting beliefs are a disguised form of negation. They are a way that I say no to life while pretending that life is saying no to me. Limitations are plausible self-deceptions. They are prefabricated excuses for every failure to be what I want to be and to do what I want to do.
Life is a laboratory for testing the limitations found in my mind. Although limitations appear real, appearances are deceiving. The only way to find out if they are real is to test them.
LEARN TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF THE MIND. Your brain speaks to you in its own language, and if you speak to it in the same way, it immediately responds in a powerful fashion. That’s why change proceeds most rapidly when you talk to yourself using the language of the mind. If you don’t speak the language of the mind, you may as well stop talking until you learn it.

LEARN HOW TO CONTROL THE STORM OF THOUGHTS BLOWING THROUGH YOUR MIND. Life consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that blow through your mind. The events of life can be trivial, tragic, and even monumental in nature, but the events themselves have little power. It’s the storm of thoughts about those events that controls our lives. Those thoughts are the battleground where you come to your agreement with life. Those thoughts define who you are and what you can do.
