Here's my favorite thought from Bible study last night: we shouldn't focus only on the things we're trying to change about ourselves (the bad habits we have, the sins we want to eliminate). We should also focus on the person we want to become so that by adopting positive behavior and characteristics, the negative ones will be pushed out. Instead, I'm always thinking about the bad things, trying to get rid of them. I like the idea of trying to adopt the good instead of dwelling on the bad.
