The Purpose Driven Life by Richard Warrenby Parker on TwosRun from anything that gives you evil thoughts, but stay close to anything that makes you want to do rightThe battle for sin is won and lost in your mind. Whatever gets attention will get youDon’t fight the thought, just change the channel of your mind and get interested in another ideaWe naturally move toward whatever we focus our attention on. The more you think about something, the stronger it takes hold of youRepeating “I must stop eating too much or stop smoking” is a self defeating strategy. It keeps you focused on what you don’t wantDon’t repress it; confess it. Don’t conceal it; reveal it. Revealing your feeling is the beginning of healingThe reason we hide our faults is Pride. We want others to think we have everything under control. The truth is, whoever you can’t talk about is already out of control in your lifeDon’t carelessly place yourself in tempting situations. Avoid themIt is easier to stay out of temptation than to get out of it
