Choices

"...what we feel and think is (or can and should be) to a very large degree a matter of choice in competent adult persons, who will be very careful about what they allow their mind to dwell upon or what they allow themselves to feel." Dallas Willard, "Renovation of the Heart"

I must admit I would like to blame God, demons or others for my problems. But, I can't hide from the fact that many of my issues are the direct result of my own habitual patterns of thoughts and feelings.

Very cool thought. And it seems the older I get, the more able I am to see that I should be able to control these things..... But I still have trouble actually controlling them.
