Now! Living Bold – Entry 8: Mind Control
Remember this…you cannot and will never grow beyond an infant’s level of faith if you don’t filter your thoughts. If there is one thing that I want my daughter to understand as she grows… it’s this. “If you can think it or dream it, you can do it. So be careful of what you think [...]
