The enemy will tell you that change is hopeless, that you’re a victim of your circumstances and your thought patterns. The enemy wants you to settle, to find a way just to survive and be somewhat happy.

Your first objective is to capture the thought—to have the courage to face that defining, destructive thought and interrupt it: I have a choice.
