Day 346

Well then: you must be perfect, just as your heavenly father is perfect.—Matthew 5:48

Brainy Tip: The more we think well, the more we reflect God’s image of love into the world.

The hardest part about achieving peak happiness, thinking, and health is remembering that we can choose them. Achieving them is not accomplished by putting on a brave or happy face; nor are they attained by adopting an ostrich mentality and pretending that problems don’t exist, or that everything will always be great. The way to find this state is by harnessing the neuroplasticity God has designed in our brains and choosing to rewire—or renew—our mind. This is a lifestyle that will bring us ever closer in alignment to our original design of goodness, of being made in God’s image.
