“Be still, and know that I am God.”
— Psalm 46:10
Day 3.
I have to stop looking at my mistakes with anger.
I have to stop becoming hyper-focused on negativity — in myself, in others, in life.
That negativity is the very thing that pushes me toward destruction.
I seek relief from how I feel, and how I feel comes from how I think.
If my mind is full of chaos, of criticism, of noise… then of course I run toward escape.
So the real work is not just avoiding temptation.
The real work is silencing the storm inside my own head.
Even if I look stupid sitting there with no thoughts, I prefer that.
I prefer stillness over a mind filled with millions of thoughts running wild, tearing me apart from the inside.
I must silence my mind.
I must silence myself.
So I’m taking a new approach:
• No more criticizing myself.
• No more criticizing others.
• No more complaining.
• No more condemning.
• No more reacting.
• No more noise.
Silence.
Silence as healing.
Silence as power.
Silence as discipline.
Silence as rebirth.
The less I say, the more I hear.
The less I think, the more I understand.
The quieter I become, the stronger I become.
This is the new version of me —
not fighting thought with thought,
but calming everything down until temptation has nowhere to hide.
Silence my mind.
Silence my spirit.
Silence my path.
