Neurosurgeon and award-winning author Dr. W. Lee Warren, MD delivers daily prescriptions from neuroscience, faith, and common sense on how to lead a healthier, better, happier life. You can’t change your life until you change your mind, and Dr. Warren will teach you the art of self brain surgery to get it done. His new book, Hope Is the First Dose, is available everywhere books are sold.
Good morning, my friend. Dr.
Lee Warren here with you. It is July 31st and it is almost all in August.
I hope that you had the time to go and hear Mark Batterson's episode.
If you didn't hear Mark's episode on Monday, then go back and listen to All
In August with Mark Batterson on Monday.
It was a great conversation, just a tremendous sort of inspiring look at getting
into the all in concept that I want us to have for the next 31 days.
Tomorrow for the first episode of 2021, if we're all in August,
we're going to have a talk about going pro.
I've been reading, again, I try to read every year or two, Steven Pressfield's
little book, Turning Pro.
And you've got to be careful with Steven Pressfield. So there's some language in these books.
There's some stuff in there that's definitely not from a Christian perspective.
But his concept of changing your life from an amateur to a professional is powerful.
It's transformative. So I read it every couple of years, especially every time I start a book.
I try to read a little Pressfield, The War of Art, or Turning Pro,
or something like that. I read Anne Lamott's book, almost everything.
I read a few things every time when I get into this writing mode that kind of
gets me into this mindset of being a professional and taking seriously this
concept of getting this work done in a way that matters to serve you,
to serve other people, to make sure the message is honored, that the muse shows up.
Because I'm doing the work. My tail is in the chair.
I'm doing the work. This idea of getting ready to go all in.
And Mark got us on the spiritual side.
We're ready to burn the boats. We're ready to pack our coffins.
We're ready to get after the work that God has called us to,
to get rid of anything that hinders, anything that holds us back.
And tomorrow we're going to take a look at what the difference is between an
amateur and a professional.
And I just want to encourage you. If you say, well, I'm already a professional
in my job or whatever, or I'm retired, what am I professional about?
I just want to encourage you.
You should approach your life and your calling differently.
As a pro. You need to be a professional at managing your own life.
There's so many characteristics that compare and contrast amateurs versus professionals.
We're going to talk about that tomorrow in great detail for Thursday,
the first episode of All in August 2024.
I implore you to go back and listen to Mark on Monday.
Tremendous conversation we had with Mark Patterson. But today I'm going to bring
you back what was the second episode of All in August last year,
because this is the episode where I found the phrase that became one of our
10 commandments of self-brain surgery that became so important as I thought about it.
It lined up with the science and faith smashing together perfectly.
The phrase, what you're doing, you're getting better at.
The first time I talked about this was then in this episode of All In August
last year, August 2nd of 2023.
So I'm going to give you that back today to get this idea. If you're going to
go all in, you're going to get better at going all in.
Your brain will listen to your mind. It's not mind over matter.
It's mind over brain. Your brain's in charge. And we're going to go all in with our whole life.
Like Jesus said, he wants you to love the Lord your God with all your heart,
your soul, your mind, your strength.
And I want you to love your life that way too. I want you to be a professional.
I want you to go all in. I want you to believe with all your heart that what
you're doing, you're getting better at.
And before we start today, here is Marnay from the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon,
helping us kick off all All In August 2024, which starts tomorrow.
Let's get after it. Hello, this is Marnay from the beautiful Columbia River Gorge in Oregon.
And thank you, Dr. Warren, for the opportunity.
I am all in. Blessings to you.
Thanks, Marnay. Hey, friend, are you all in? It is All In August.
I can't believe it. It's the third year we've done All In August.
Of course, that idea, All In, is based on Mark Batterson's book,
incredible book, All In.
But this month, we're going to take a different tack at it. We're going to see
if you'll join us in becoming all in at learning how to operate this incredible
system that God has given you to help you become healthier, feel better, and be happier.
And that can apply in every area of your life.
Self-brain surgery idea. It can be spiritual. It can be physical.
It can be emotional. It can be relational. It can be occupational, financial.
Any way that you feel like you need to break some barriers, cast off restraints,
and move forward in your life in something that's been holding you back, it's time to go all in.
And you can leave us a voicemail, and you can get on the podcast too and tell
us that you are all in with us.
I'd love to hear your name and where you're from and what you're all in about.
Speakpipe.com slash Dr. Lee Warren. Speakpipe.com slash Dr.
Lee Warren is the voicemail. You can leave us a voicemail just like Marnay did,
and you can tell us that you're all in.
Today, I've got one little idea for you, okay?
One little idea. I got to get outside and get my run in before the storm hits
and before I have to go to work.
Today, we're going to talk about this concept of what happens when we fret ourselves.
I told you yesterday, Psalm 37 is our theme verse for this month.
Psalm 37 is all about how to get Get out of your own head and let God help you
think better, move better, and live better.
Okay? So just have a couple of ideas around that concept.
I'm going to break down this false belief that we can multitask.
We're going to get really good at drilling in on one central idea of something
that I heard on social media that kind of stopped me in my tracks.
And then I'm just going to just drop this truth bomb on you,
and we're going to move on with our day.
Okay, you ready? We're going to try to become healthier and feel better and
be happier by finally going all in with our own lives.
And we're going to learn that we can't change our lives until we change our
minds. And to do that, we have to, say it with me, we have to start today.
I saw this post and it stuck in my head and I can't stop thinking about it.
And here's what he said, or she, whoever posted it.
He said, what you are actively doing is what you are getting better at.
What you're doing is what you're getting better at.
And that sounds like such a simple thing, but friend, from a neuroscience perspective,
that's exactly right. Right.
If you spend all day worrying, you are getting better and better at worrying,
not just simply stated, not just one of those motivational speaker kind of things.
Hey, stop worrying because you're getting better at worrying.
But from a neuroscience perspective, when you do something in your mind,
when you create a directed mental force, as Jeffrey Schwartz would call it,
when you put your brain energy on something negative or positive, inevitably,
you are going to create synapses around that thought process.
That are going to automate it because you're teaching your brain that at this
time and in this way and when I feel this thing,
I think about that thing and I create this neurotransmitter reality about that
thing and that'll become more and more and more automated and more automatic
and easier for you to slip back into next time.
So if you just spent all day yesterday and all night last night worrying about
something that may or may not happen, guess what?
But today, in your quiet moments, when you're not tied up doing something else,
you're going to slip into that worry mode because you're teaching your default
mode network of your brain that it's helpful to you to ruminate or that you
desire to ruminate on that same thought.
And you will slip into it. And before you know it, you will have spent most
of today worrying about the same thing that you spent all last night and all
day yesterday worrying about. because what you're doing, you're getting better at.
Now simultaneously, we've talked a million times about severing six synapses
and having these brain process,
self-brain surgery ideas that we can learn to interrupt those circuits and teach
our brain and our brand new neurons that we generate every day better ways to behave, right?
So you can break that cycle of endlessly worrying and thinking about the same
thing. Now, we all think, we've heard it a million times, this common phrase
that we use, multitasking.
We all think that we can worry about this and take care of that and do this
job and do that job and listen to music and write a paper and be on the phone
and be texting somebody else and be scrolling and doing all those things at the same time.
We all think that we can multitask and accomplish a lot of stuff.
But the fact is, you can't actually multitask at all.
Your brain cannot do more than one thing at a time.
The reason you think you can is because your brain is a highly designed and
incredibly efficient supercomputer that can switch back and forth between multiple things quickly,
so quickly that you can't really
perceive that you're not actually doing more than one thing at a time.
But what happens is the more processes, just like the computer.
Right, the number of tabs that you have open on your browser will eventually
begin to degrade the performance of the machine so that it's not performing
as efficiently and effectively as it should because you're asking too much of
it. And your brain is exactly the same way.
The more processes you attempt to run at the same time, the less efficiently
you will run any of those singular processes.
So if you're spending all day stewing and worrying about something and trying
to be a good husband or wife or father or mother or grandparent or friend or
employee and trying to scroll through Instagram so you don't feel so bad all
the time and trying to X, Y, or Z, guess what?
You're not going to accomplish any of those things very well.
Okay? That's why Jesus said it plainly in the Sermon on the Mount.
Do not worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow's got enough trouble of its own. Don't worry about what you're going to eat or drink.
Don't worry. Don't worry. Because, friend, the truth is.
What you cannot directly control, if you're worrying about it, it's just hurting you.
It is not helping you. It will not solve the problem.
You already know this, by the way, because in your life, how many times you've
spent an entire night worrying about something that you actually influenced
the ultimate outcome of it by the mental energy that you spent worrying?
Or how many times did that lack of sleep make you better able to deal with it
the next day than you would have if you had prayed about it,
put it to bed, slept well,
and forgotten about it until you actually had to interact with it and engage
with it. How many times was it better because of that?
And that's why, my friend, Psalm 37 says it so plainly. This is our all-in-August chapter.
Listen to the context. This is English Standard Version because I love the way this says it.
Psalm of David, who certainly had plenty of things to worry about.
He was constantly having his kids murdering and raping each other.
He was constantly having somebody trying to overthrow him, constantly trying
to fight a war against the next kingdom over, constantly getting himself in
trouble with his general lack of ability to do things correctly.
He's all kinds of trouble. The man after God's own heart had constant things
to concern himself about.
But here's what he said after thinking about this stuff for his whole lifetime.
Fret not yourself because of evildoers. Now, remember, he has guys outside who
are literally trying to overthrow his kingdom.
He has family members who are literally murdering and raping each other.
And he says, fret not yourself because
of evildoers. Do not be envious of wrongdoers, for they will soon fade.
He's saying, don't spend your mental energy worrying about what other people are doing.
Now, that's different than saying don't make a strategy to defend the palace
if the enemy is literally going to take over and try to throw you off the throne.
Own. That's not the same as saying don't be strategic and don't make a plan and don't be wise.
And it's not saying that he's saying, don't sit in your bed and worry yourself
to death about what other people are doing and whether they're being successful or not.
What do you do? What's the solution? Verse three, trust in the Lord and do good.
Dwell in the land and make friends with faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. You get that?
He's not saying God will give you every little thing you ever wanted.
He's saying if you love what he loves, then your heart will get what it really
wants because he'll give you the desires of your heart when your heart wants
the right things. He says.
Fret not yourself. It tends on to evil. Listen, from a neuroscience perspective,
when you're stewing and angry and boiling,
all you're doing is hurting your own brain chemistry and you're diminishing
your capacity to make purposeful decisions that will help you solve the actual
thing that you're upset about because you're so angry you can't think clearly.
And here's what he says, fret not yourself, it tends only to evil.
How many times in your life have you had a good solution to something by spending
hours and hours being boiling angry about it?
How many times have you come to the answer that would ultimately lead you to
peace and being happy again by being super angry and giving into that and going
down in this hole of murderous, boiling anger?
It tends towards evil, right? Right. It leads to blow ups.
It leads to cussing. It leads to throwing things at each other.
It leads to sleeping on the couch.
It leads to sometimes divorce or alcoholism or abuse or throwing a punch when you didn't want to.
Putting your hand through a wall that this this anger and stewing tends only,
David says, towards evil.
Right. And he's a guy that got the spear chucked at him by Saul.
He knows what happens when you sit and ruminate about how mad you are at somebody
else. It doesn't generally help you in any meaningful way.
And you certainly can't be harboring that thought and praying for someone or
doing something good or thinking good thoughts or being in communion with the
Holy Spirit while you're down in that hole, right?
Because what you're doing, you're getting better at.
So if you're spending time in that hole, you're getting better at finding your way into that hole.
Now, that's a long preamble to this concept. But I just wanted to remind you
what Psalm 37 is all about.
Refrain from anger, forsake wrath, fret not yourself. It tends only to evil, okay?
The rest of that chapter goes into all this stuff about what's going to happen,
what God's going to do, and God's going to take care of it.
He's going to handle it, so you don't have to worry about it. The Lord delivers them.
The Lord helps them. He delivers them from the wicked and saves them.
So don't worry about it. Let God handle it. He's going to take care of it,
right? That's what Psalm 37, my friend, is all about.
Now, I want to tell you, there's another chapter, Psalm 126.
This one's the one for those of you who are going through or have recently been
through the massive thing.
My new book, Hope is the First Dose, talks about the massive thing,
these traumas and tragedies and trials and temptations and hard things that
we go through in our lives, these loss of dreams and these deaths of things
that we've long hoped for, Or these, you know, 10 years ago my son died.
That was our massive thing, our first massive thing.
But there's always something. And when you have them, Psalm 126 gives us a little
nugget of wisdom that turns out to be incredibly important.
He starts by talking about this bad thing that's happened to them.
When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed.
Our mouths were filled with laughter. Our tongues were filled with songs of joy.
So they've been in a bad situation, and God brought them out, right?
And here's what happened. Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negev, verse 4.
So he's saying, hey, we were in this bad situation, and you brought us out,
and here's what we learned in verse 5.
What in the world is he talking about? Well, let me tell you,
a few weeks after Mitch died, we came to this realization that we were going
to have to go back to work, and we did not feel like it. We were crying. We were devastated.
We were lost. We didn't know what was going to happen. We were not in a good place.
I certainly didn't feel like being a doctor for somebody else.
I needed a doctor for me and my broken heart and my broken teeth and my shingles
and my sore shoulder and my gray hair.
I needed a doctor, somebody to help me. But it was time to go back to work.
And we did it. We said our 10 employees deserved not to be laid off.
Our patients deserve to be taken care of. Our referring physicians deserve to
have a neurosurgeon help them with their patients who are suffering and struggling.
And we have to go back to work. We are in a reality where it's time to go and we were not ready.
So we saw that as sowing with tears. We went out and we planted those fields
and did the work and did the stuff we had to do to keep our business afloat.
And guess what happened? A year or so later, we just sort of slowly realized
that we'd made it through this difficult season.
And we kept our business afloat. And God blessed us. He brought patience.
He kept referring doctors, calling us. He kept us. We never missed payroll.
We didn't have to lay anybody off. We were able to keep our business going.
And we didn't lose everything. But we could have.
And when we realized that, it gave us this incredible peace and joy that God had been faithful to us.
It was true that he was close to us when we were brokenhearted, like Psalm 34, 18 says.
It was true. He kept his promise that if we would go out and sow those seeds,
even while we were suffering and even while we had tears in our eyes,
that we would eventually be able to reap that harvest of, thank God we stayed alive.
We didn't starve. We didn't lose
our house. We didn't drink ourselves to death. We didn't get divorced.
We didn't lose our business. We didn't have to lay off our employees.
We didn't have to send patients to another doctor. We made it through.
And that created joy mixed in with the sorrow and sadness that we will always
feel over losing our son.
I want to give you a thought. Our friend Jerry Deaver, the farmer who works
the field in our property across the way from our house and then across the driveway in Mrs.
Craftsman's field, Jerry and his crew, his dad and all of his folks, work that field.
And they plant alfalfa and they plant sorghum and
they plant wheat and they do all kinds of
things to create a crop that provides food for people and animals and hay and
they take care of lots of people because of working these fields well let me
just tell you this jerry i know he's talked about this he lost his first wife
to glioblastoma as a young man she was a young woman,
And I know there came a time, and Jerry, I'm sorry if I'm sharing too much of
your story here, but there came a time when he had to go back to work and get
on that tractor and get back after it, just like we did after we lost our son.
But here's a metaphor I want to give you. What if Jerry had sowed his seeds of tears?
What if he got in the tractor while he was weeping and he just planted a field
and he drove to the next field and planted that field in sorrow and drove to
the next field and planted that field in sorrow and drove to the next field
and planted that field in sorrow?
What if he just kept planting while weeping and kept planting for the rest of his life?
Well, what would happen? He would just drive all around Nebraska planting.
Well, there would come a time when the crops behind him started to grow, right?
And the fields that he had planted would come to full readiness and he wouldn't
be there to harvest them.
They would go to seed, and they would eventually just fall over and die and
become compost in those fields, and the crop would be wasted,
and it wouldn't benefit anybody except some of the passing birds, right?
And he would have failed to reap the harvest that could have brought joy and
could have brought success, and all he's doing is driving around the fields, planting in sorrow.
And friend, that can happen to you if you're not careful after the massive of thing.
There are people, in fact, there are whole platforms on the internet and there
are whole support groups full of people.
And we know some of these people, and you do too, who they have this massive
thing happen to them and that becomes the only thing they can see or do for the rest of their life.
They plant in sorrow for the rest of their life and they never come back to harvest the field.
And that doesn't make sense, does it? God is telling you that that sometimes
you have to get up when you don't feel like it.
And you have to get after it again, even though you're still crying,
because there will come a time when he will turn that into a crop that you can
harvest and use for yourself and for the benefit of other people again in your life.
Friend, what you are doing, you are getting better at.
So if you are sowing in sorrow and you don't ever switch to harvesting and joy,
then you are going to get really, really good at being a person who is a professional sufferer.
And that sounds I'm not I'm not
beating you up. I'm just telling you how easy it is to let that happen.
And if you're at a place when that's what's happened to you,
if you've been stuck in the sowing seeds of sadness phase of your massive thing,
it's time to make a switch.
It's time to go all in on letting God help you do something different.
And we say it all the time. If you want to feel better, do better.
That's a motivational speaker thing. Tony Robbins has said it.
Our pastor, Chris Hodges, used to say it.
Actions leading feelings following all that stuff but let me tell you
what's true from the brain standpoint okay if you're
feeling bad and you can't figure out how to
get unstuck you need to get up and go
for a walk you need to get up and go exercise you need to get up and go do something
else why not because you're just trying to not think about it for a little bit
but because you can't multitask i told you that earlier you can't actively multitask
you can do more than one thing in a short amount of time,
but you can't do more than one thing at one time.
And so when you start moving, your brain starts releasing neurotransmitters
that make you feel a little bit better.
And your brain doesn't care if you get your dopamine from moving or if you get
your dopamine from not having had a bad event occur.
Okay. But once you have some dopamine, you're going to start making some pathways
in your brain that say, Hey, I can feel better if I do this thing again.
And instead of getting the dopamine from alcohol or from some other harmful
thing, you can be the self-brain surgeon here and you can choose to direct your
energy to something that will help you.
And it's time to go all in on being a good doctor for yourself, friend.
So if you're feeling bad, start moving. Start doing something else because what's
going to happen is the things that you do, you become good at.
So if you start doing something different than sowing seeds of tears all the
time, you will start feeling a little bit better.
And if you start doing something different than fretting yourself all the time,
you'll start feeling better.
And guess what's going to happen? But once you automate that process of doing
that thing that makes you feel a little better,
you're going to clear some mental space and generate some mental energy that
you've been using to harbor those negative feelings or thoughts or worries or
angers or pain or anything else that you've been ruminating around on.
You're going to free up a little bit of room and you will be able to direct
that neuroplasticity and create a better direction to spend that energy.
The one thing that we get from Psalm 46, I never saw this in my whole life until last week.
I was on the tractor and I was listening to the audio book of Susie Larson's
book called Fully Alive, which I cannot recommend highly enough.
It's from a few years ago.
And it's about learning how to flourish even when you're in a season of pain
or even when you've gone through something hard.
How to next level your life by coming fully alive.
And Susie talked to me. She's going to come on the podcast, by the way.
August 18th, I'm interviewing her to talk about her new book.
And September 1st, she's going to come on and we're going to talk about neuroscience
and her book, Fully Alive, and how it meshes with my book, Hope is the First Dose, and all that.
So you got two doses of Susie Larson coming up.
But she talked about Psalm 46, when God says, be still and know that I am God.
Psalm 46.10, we quote that verse all the time.
It was mentioned again in Psalm 37, this idea of be still and know that I'm God.
And when we hear that, we almost always hear it in this kind of voice.
Hey, hey, Lisa. Hey, Lola. Hey, Dennis. Hey, Lee. Hey, Brian. Hey, Charles.
Be still and know that I'm God. I've got you. Give me a hug.
Come on. Come in here and be still. That's how we hear it.
But you look at the context of Psalm 46. Susie Larson said this,
and it stopped me in my tracks, literally stopped the tractor and rewound it so I could hear it again.
The context here is not God with his arm around you, with you sitting in his
lap, with him holding on to you, saying, calm down, I've got you,
I love you. It's all sweet and wonderful.
No, God is in the midst of something mighty here.
Starts with verse 1. God is our refuge and strength, our ever-present help in
times of trouble. We will not fear of the earth giveaway and the mountains fall
in the heart of the sea and the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
He's in the middle of this cataclysmic event.
God, verse six, nations are in uproar.
Kingdoms are falling. He lifts his voice and the earth melts.
God is shouting in the midst of this cataclysmic apocalyptic event.
Kingdoms are falling. Nations are in uproar. or you're terrified,
and everything is happening. There's war going on.
And it says down in verse 9, God makes the war cease to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear.
He burns the shields with fire. And that's when, in verse 10,
he says, be still and know that I am God.
Listen, this is not the soft voice of God with his arm around you saying,
hey, honey, hey, buddy, calm down.
It's going to be okay. Like I used to talk to Mitch when he was stressed.
My kids, hey, buddy, it's going to be okay. Just calm down. It's going to be
all right. That's not what's happening here.
The war is happening. The earth is shattering. The fires are happening.
God grabs the bow out of your hand and snaps it.
He shatters your weapon. and he burns your shield up with fire, and he thunders.
His voice booms and quakes and grabs the attention of the universe and brings
the war to a stop like a screech of the record.
And he says, be still and know that I am God.
He's yelling. This raises the hair on my arms to think this.
When you are fretting yourself, you are directing your mental energy into a
hole and a storm gets louder and louder and louder in your head until that's
all you can hear and it's all you can see and you don't need somebody to come
alongside and pat you on the back and tell you to calm down and it's going to be okay.
You need God to grab that neurotransmitter storm and part those waters and shatter
that shield that you're putting up over every other voice that can come in and try to help you.
And you need him to tell you to knock it off and be still and know that he is
God because you have no other hope for finding your way forward than him showing you the path.
If you delight yourself in him, he will give you the desires of your heart.
If you fret not yourself, it will stop tending towards evil and it will start
becoming a path for you to climb back up towards the light again.
Because Psalm 46, 11, the Lord Almighty is with us.
The God of Jacob is our fortress. Friend, you need to stop sowing in tears at
some point. It's fine. It's appropriate.
When it's time to sow, it's time to sow. When it's time to plant,
Jerry's got to get on the tractor and get after it.
And when it's time for you to move, even when you're still weeping, that's okay.
But there has to come a point when you switch implements on the back of your
tractor and you start harvesting again,
when you stop going down the hole of terror and you start letting him help you
be still and know that he is God again, when you stop fretting yourself,
when you stop letting the voices overtake you.
That's when you can start being good at something else.
So the question is, you know you can't multitask. So you know you can't live
with these two realities anymore.
And it's time to go all in on helping yourself become healthier and feel better and be happier.
And it's time to be kind to yourself, friend.
It's time to break the chain of fretting yourself.
It's time to break the chain of sowing in sadness. It's time to start reaping with joy.
And that's what we're going to figure out in all in August. Listen,
friend, you can't change your life until you change your mind.
I wanna hear from you if you're all in.
I hope this was helpful. I'd love to hear from you today to tell me if this was helpful or not.
We're with you. We're hopeful that God will break through for you this month,
that you'll finally go all in.
I hope that you're reading my book, Hope is the First Dose.
There's a Bible study on a new version, five days you can get.
And I'd love to hear from you if the book is helpful.
I would love to hear your feedback, to hear how you're changing your mind and
changing your life through the power of self-brain surgery.
Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow the Lord will do marvelous things among you.
That's Joshua 3.5. That's our theme verse for All In August.
Listen, All In requires a mindset change.
It requires a new approach. It requires a change of your heart and your mind and your focus.
It requires you to go from amateur to professional in your own life.
And we're going to start tomorrow, but you've got to be ready today.
Go to bed tonight with a prayer on your lips. Lord, help me go All In.
Help me consecrate myself. Help me set myself apart and set my focus and my
intention that this is a new life for me.
I am drawing a line in the sand. What I'm doing, I'm getting better at.
What got me here won't get me there.
I am ready to take action and change my mind and change my life.
And the good news, my friend, is you can start today.
I hope this was helpful to you. Go back to Monday.
Listen to Mind Change Monday with Mark Batterson. Again, get ready because tomorrow
is all in August. Remember the scripture.
Consecrate yourselves. yourselves because tomorrow Lord is going to do mighty things among you.
Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow. The Lord will do marvelous things among
you. That's Joshua three, five.
That's our theme verse for all in August. Listen, all in requires a mindset change.
It requires a new approach. It requires a change of your heart and your mind and your focus.
It requires you from going to, to go from amateur to professional in your own
life. And we're going to start tomorrow, But you've got to be ready today.
Go to bed tonight with a prayer on your lips. Lord, help me go all in.
Help me consecrate myself. Help me set myself apart and set my focus and my
intention that this is a new life for me.
I am drawing a line in the sand. What I'm doing, I'm getting better at.
What got me here won't get me there.
I am ready to take action and change my mind and change my life.
And the good news, my friend, is you can start today.
