Rewriting the Past

You can create another version of the past 
That serves a better future.
When you do something you regret,
Rewrite the experience in your mind.
And give thanks for God’s grace
In helping you to choose the better part
Even though you did not choose the better part.
Be descriptive in your re-writing,
Enough that gratitude wells up
For making the right decision.
See it. Feel it. 
Resist the tendency to disbelieve.
And you will actually create another reality.
Yeah…out of fantasy. 
But your brain doesn’t know that it’s fantasy.
It experiences those good feelings
As if they really happened.
If you do this consistently,
Sooner or later, you’ll discover
That you start doing the right thing
So that you can experience more 
Of the feeling you felt
In your made-up past.
It is a strategy for the weak
Who wish to be made strong through belief.
