I pray that the God of King Jesus our Lord, the father of glory, would give you, in your spirit, the gift of being wise, of seeing things people can’t normally see, because you are coming to know him and to have the eyes of your inmost self opened to God’s light. Then you will know exactly what the hope is that goes with God’s call; you will know the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in his holy people.—Ephesians 1:17–18
Brainy Tip: Your thoughts form the basis of your worldview.
Think of your mind as a filter. The nonconscious, metacognitive mind is filled with the thoughts you have been building since you were born, and they form the perceptual base from which you see life—they filter and shape all your future thoughts, words, and actions. They are the foundation of your worldview. Whatever you have focused on the most and built deep into your mind colors the way you live your life.
What have you planted into your nonconscious mind? What are the thoughts that keep you up at night? What drives the way you think, speak, and act? How healthy is your thought life? What does your filter look like?
