If You Change Your Thoughts, You Change Your Life

      

       So many people ask me, “Bo, how can I break free from my bad habits?” 

This question deserves an entire book. But if I only have 3 seconds to answer them, I’d tell them, “Change your Inner Movies.”

Why? Because habits start in the mind.

       Before they become a habit of action, they’re first habits of thought. I believe that you cannot change habits of action if you don’t change habits of thought. 

And what are habits of thought? 

In one word, Beliefs.

       So if you want to change bad habits, you have to first change the bad beliefs that support your bad habits. It’s impossible to change bad habits if you don’t change the bad beliefs behind them.

But where do your bad beliefs come from?

       From bad movies.

       Nope, I don’t mean bad movies from Hollywood.

       I don’t mean movies shown at the big screen.

       I’m talking about “Inner Movies” that show at the small screens of our minds.

       You may not know this, but 24 hours a day, we’re watching inner movies. And these inner movies affect our destiny.

We All Have Favorite Movies

In my home, we have a huge library of children’s videos. 

Last count, we almost have a hundred of them scattered around the living room. My eldest son is 9 years old—so that’s 9 years of collecting Barney, Veggietales, Magic Schoolbus, and Disney.

       But here’s the funny thing. Even if we have almost 100 movies to watch, only 10 of those movies get watched again and again.   Why? Because kids like watching the same favorite movies. 

I don’t know how many times have I heard my little Francis say, “Daddy, I want to watch Barney Goes To The Zoo!” At our house, Barney has gone so many times to the zoo, he’s decided to live there.

Kids have favorite movies but adults have them too.

In our imagination, we watch the same Inner Movies in our mind all the time. But some of our favorite Inner Movies aren’t good for us.

What Inner Movies Do You Watch?

There are two kinds of inner movies stored in your brain: Good Movies and Bad Movies.

Good Inner Movies inspire you, encourage you, lift you up. They help you become a better human being.

Bad Inner Movies discourage you, pull you down, limit you, depress you, and fill you with shame.

Question: What kind of Inner Movies do you watch in your mind? That question is so important, it’ll determine your future. Because your thoughts aren’t just thoughts. Your thoughts become things.

Let me give you an example of a bad Inner Movie that people like watching again and again…

Title: Total Failure

Subtitle: This Is My Fate And I Can’t Do Anything About It

Replace this with a new Inner Movie instead…

 

Title: Total Victory

Subtitle: This Is My Destiny And I Love It

Where Do Our Inner Movies Come From?

I remember my friend “Sheila”.

Sheila’s father was a mean, negative, sarcastic person.

As a young girl, whenever she entered the house, her father would ask, “Anong kabalastugan ang ginawa mo sa araw na ito?” (What bad things did you do today?)

One day, Sheila brought an average report card and her father said, “Wala kang kuwenta. Walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.” (You’re worth nothing. And you’ll never amount to anything.)

And every single day of her life, Sheila would replay this horrible inner movie in her mind—that of her father saying these cruel words to her.

When I met Sheila, she was thirty years old, but she looked like she was forty. When I met her, she was a drug addict, a drug pusher, and a bum. Her father’s words were prophetic.

       Perhaps you feel like Sheila. Perhaps you had parents who didn’t believe in you. Perhaps you came from a broken family. Perhaps your parents didn’t love you. And you made wrong decisions and messed up your life. And today, you think there’s no more hope for you.

       I beg to disagree.

       Sheila’s story isn’t done yet.

       One day, Sheila joined the Light of Jesus Family.

       Her transformation wasn’t overnight. But slowly, she changed her life. How do I know? For five years now, Sheila has been off drugs and living a happy life.  She is now forty years old but she looks like she’s thirty. There’s a new glow in her face.

       How did she change?

       She changed her thoughts. She changed what she watched in the DVD player of her mind. Instead of replaying what her earthly father was saying about her, she replayed what her heavenly Father was saying about her.

       That’s why I believe you can change too.

       You can decide today to change your thoughts. To change your Inner Movie. To surround yourself with people who can lift you up instead of pull you down.

       Nothing is impossible with God.

Are You Really Weak? Says Who?

Here’s an Inner Movie I watched in my mind for many years…

                

                Title: The Rubber Man

Subtitle: Why Am I Sooooo Weak?

For almost 20 years, I was trapped in my addictions. And I really believed that I was weak. But it was all a lie. I wasn’t weak at all. I had God’s supernatural strength within me. 

I overcame my addiction. I was strong after all.

       You may feel you’re weak right now. You may have fallen so many times, you want to give up. 

But declare these words with faith, “God didn’t create me to be a slave. God created me to be His child. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. So I’m strong. I’m equipped. I’m anointed. I’m blessed. I’m favored. God is with me.”

Here’s the Inner Movie I now replay in mind…

               

                

Title: The Diamond Man

Subtitle: Why Am I Sooooo Strong and Beautiful?

Your Fears Can Create

The Very Thing You’re Afraid Of

This next Inner Movie is, sadly, a box-office hit. People line up for to watch Inner Movies like these…

               

Title: My Worst Nightmare

Subtitle: It Will Happen This Year

Why do people watch horror movies? 

To feel fear. For some crazy reason, fear is enjoyable.

We replay scary scenarios in our minds because we want to feel fear. But our fears are not just feelings. Our fears can create our reality.

       One day, I met a girl who told me, “Brother Bo, I don’t know why, but I’m afraid of losing my boyfriend. I’m afraid he’ll fall in love with another girl.” She became extremely jealous whenever he was with other women. It didn’t matter if the other woman was 95 years old or a walking zombie

       I met the guy and it was clear that he loved his girlfriend. But as the months went by, he felt burdened by the relationship. She was suffocating him. Everytime they met, she was like a private detective, asking questions, sniffing his shirt, and checking his cell phone. And true enough, he finally left her and married someone else.

       In other words, her fears created the very reality she was afraid would happen.

       If you’re a person of fear, I strongly urge you to watch a new Inner Movie …

                               

Title: My Greatest Dream

Subtitle: It Will Happen This Year

Expectation Creates Your Reality Too

       Here’s the truth: Expectation is Preparation. When you expect great things to happen, you’re preparing yourself for those great things. So be excited with what God will do in your life this year. 

So let me ask you…

Do you expect blessings in your finances?

Do you expect blessings in your family life?

Do you expect blessings in your health?

Do you expect blessings in your lovelife?

When you don’t expect great things to happen, you won’t see them even if these great things are right in front of you, jumping up and down and waving at you.

But some people don’t expect anything. 

Because their favorite Inner Movie in their minds is…

Title: Why My Dreams Will Never Come True

Subtitle: The Depressing Story Of A Wasted Life

My friend “Connie” is always depressed.

Many times, she finds herself crying at night. Sometimes, she doesn’t even know why she’s crying.

Connie knows she shouldn’t be depressed. She knows she is such a blessed woman. But she is still depressed.

One day, she admitted to me, “Bo, I realized that I like feeling depressed.”

Again, this is absurd, but it’s more common then you think.

Connie has a painful childhood. So for people like Connie, when they’re moping, lonely, and crying, they feel at home. Because it’s what they’re used to. We all like to go home. But in order to feel at home, they recreate their childhood, no matter how painful it was.

So I urged my friend to watch a different kind of movie in her mind…

               

Title: Why My Dreams Will Come True

Subtitle: The Inspiring Story Of A Fantastic Life

Believe that God has fantastic plan for your life.

Many Are Poor Because

They Expect To Remain Poor

A lot of people watch the Inner Movie below.

I know I did. For years!

 

Title: Beggar Forever

Subtitle: I’m Poor And Getting Poorer

Once upon a time, I wanted to be poor.

I felt this was what God wanted for my life.

But when I got married and had kids, I realized that I was mistaken. God wasn’t calling me to a vow of poverty but a vow of generosity. In fact, I believe that God calls 99% of people to the vow of generosity.

So I created my small businesses and God is blessing them.

I was happy last week. There was this missionary family, friends of mine, who’ve been working in God’s vineyard for almost 20 years. I knew how much they sacrificed for God’s work. I felt God whisper to my heart, “Pay for their vacation.” So I bought them plane tickets to go away to a nice island and rest for awhile.

I felt happy I had money to do it.

But more than that, I felt happier that I had the generosity to give it to them.

Some people see generosity as a side effect of becoming rich.

The opposite is true. I see becoming rich as a side effect of becoming generous. 

And in my mind, I watch this Inner Movie all the time…

                

Title: Generous Forever

Subtitle: I’m Rich And Getting Richer

Do you want to become wealthy?

The first thing you can do is to change your thoughts.

Every morning, declare this faith statement: “I’m rich and getting richer. I’m generous and getting more generous. God is blessing me with wealth. I’m a channel of blessing to others.”

Do You Value You?

And here’s another Inner Movie you need to stop watching…

Title: I’m Garbage

Subtitle: Why You Need To Throw Me Away

A wife came up to me one day and said, “My husband doesn’t value me.” I asked her, “Do you value yourself?”

Remember that you teach others how to treat you. If you value yourself, people around you will pick up that inner value that you have about yourself and will value you too.

I want you to watch this instead…

 

Title: I’m Gold

Subtitle: Why You Need To Treasure Me

Say this out loud, “I’m more valuable than the stars of the sky. I’m precious in the heart of God.”

Let me now speak to parents…

The Prayers Of Parents Are Powerful

You may be a mother or father whose child has left the right path. Who has rebelled. Who has abandoned their faith.

You may be watching this Inner Movie …

 

Title: My Kids Will Rot In Hell

Subtitle: The Horror Story Of My Family

I remember my friend Joey.

       His entire world crumbled when he discovered shabu in the bedroom of his eldest son, Joseph. His son was 22 years old.

       For 4 years, Joseph entered in and out of rehab, but it seemed like he was getting worse. His body was wasting away. He stole to support his habit.

During those dark years, my friend Joey would cry at my shoulder. He wondered if his son would die a drug addict.

But I told him, “God has a great plan for your son, Joseph. Far greater than you can ever imagine or think of. So don’t give up praying. Don’t give up believing. Don’t give up loving him with tough love. God is working in your son. We don’t see it. But He’s sending people to him. He’s speaking to him. He’s blessing him.”

And one day, it just happened. Joseph stopped taking drugs cold turkey.

       Today, Joseph has been free from drugs for the past 7 years. He runs his own little business and has a wonderful family life. He’s also busy serving God in a prayer meeting.

       Sometimes, Joey and I have coffee and chat about the past. He would ask me, “Bo, do you remember how I’d cried to you about Joseph?”

I’d smile, “Yes.”

“Who would have imagined that one day, that big problem would disappear like the mist?”

       Friend, don’t give up believing for your loved ones. For your kids, or your parents, or your siblings, or your friends.  God is working in the people you love. God hasn’t given up on them. You may not see it, but God is touching them, knocking at their hearts, blessing them.

       Declare this faith statement: “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

And watch this Inner Movie in your mind…

 

Title: My Kids Are Servants Of God

Subtitle: The Love Story Of My Family

Believe that the seeds of faith that you’ve planted in their hearts will one day bear fruit.

      

Make A Declaration About Your Future

Let me end by asking you to claim your destiny.

Using your words, proclaim your desired future.

Say it with faith.

“God created me free! I’m now free to serve God and serve God’s people. I’m focusing on new dreams, not on old chains. Because my future is brighter than my past, I fix my gaze on my future, not my past. Everyday, I’m getting new habits to replace old ones. These new habits will bless me and bless the world. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Because of God, I am a conqueror. I’m a champion!”

       Friend, change your Inner Movies.

       Because if you change your thoughts, you change your life.

       May your dreams come true,

       Bo Sanchez

  77. bo, thank you very much for the inspiring articles.they teach me a lot of things, and change my perspective in life!! Thank you very much!! God bless you.

  78. Very inspiring sir bo!!…thanks for reminding me…i will work on it with God’s help…

  79. thank you for that encouraging article.
    for me, it’s hard to change your beliefs when you get hurt all the time. that only proves that your beliefs are true and that’s what i’m going through right now.
    i had experienced to be judged by other people a couple of times and they are all complete starngers. so i believe that all people are cruel and until now they always proves me that it’s true. as time goes by, i sort of created this fear and believed that im worthless and they are special. also when i fall in love its the same thing happens. because of this i learned how to be cruel as well and not to think of others just to feel that im not weak and that also to depend myself.
    i know it’s wrong but that’s the only way for me to feel human, it encourages me to do what i want in my life and not to think of what other people’s opinion.
    you see, bro. bo, im so thankful because God intoduced you to me and inspire me anytime but sometimes when you’re surrounded by negative people sort of thing everyday, evry minute of your life, it feels like impossible to change your beliefs about the world.
    im struggling really and i want to change my beliefs to be a new person again. i want to fall in love with that cute guy who’s always looking at me and asking for my name without thinking that im not worth it for him because i believe that im ugly. and im also tired of having all this insecurities with me.
    i will read your other articles to get inspired again.
    il make it habit from now on

  80. thank you bro. Bo…. all i could say right now is Thank You…

  81. Your words are inspiring…..THANKS FOR SHARING WHAT YOU BELIEVED IN…IT HELPS ME SEE THINGS CLEARLY.

  111. Very inspiring.. Thanks, Bo!

  112. Hi,bro. Bo!

    This article is really a great start for the year 2010. It’s amazing, refreshing, inspiring and a wake up call to everyone. It reminded me again about how will I start my plans this year. Everything is possible if we hold on to our dreams and God’s promises. Sometimes, we feel like giving-up especially when we are encountering lots of problems and don’t know what to do bec. we’re relying on our own strength. But this article is reminding and telling us that all we just have to do is to move forward with our dreams, learn the things from the past, read and live God’s word. What we believe is so powerful. Since there are two kinds of belief: good and bad. Let’s believe to a good ones instead. We have to make up our mind.

    Yes, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Think and appreciate the beauty of life. Let me share this:
    If you think you’re beaten,you are,
    If you think that you care not, you don’t.
    If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
    It’s almost certain you won’t.
    If you think you’ll lost, you’ve lost.
    For out in the world you’ll find.
    Success begins with a fellow’s will.
    IT’S ALL IN THE STATES OF MIND.

    Thank you and God bless you and your staff.

  113. Dear Bo,
    Indeed, you are really a blessing. I am truly touched by this article. It’s an eye-opener and very inspiring. I’ve done some soul searching to find out what inner movie/s I’m stuck to watching. Now, I know what movie/s NOT to watch and MUST watch. Thank you very much.
    Bo, with your permission, I’d like to forward this to my sons. Am sure this will help them, too.
    May you have more fruitful years ahead!

  114. thank you for that wonderful article.
    actually i am now watching this bad inner movie titled “my worst nightmare”. i am so afraid i might lose my husband. we are married for 5 years already but no child yet, i have polycystic ovaries. it’s hard because i feel like i failed him as a wife. then last month i found out he was calling this girl and have given her gifts already. i confronted him and he asked for forgiveness.
    i accepted his apologies but now am paranoid, everytime he goes out, answers his phone, even when i call him and i am put on call waiting!
    i still feel that he might leave me.
    2 days ago i felt paranoid again, because a girl from our church told me that he emailed her- though friendly message. again i asked him and he said it was just a friendly message since she did not attend the thanksgiving fellowship.
    your article has touched me and i guess i have to stop this movie and watch a good one. it is hard since the seed of doubt and paranoia has been planted and i knowingly kept it alive with my bad inner movies.
    thanks bo, i will try.

  115. Dear Bro.Bo,

    I cant find the word/words to say ,,but one thing is for sure i’am bless everytime you send an email to me…coz i know this email is come from GOD.salamat po!

  116. Thank you for inspiring me. You lifted my spirit. I want to put an end to my fears. I believe that by going through your article, it made me realize a lot of good things.God’s love will help me conquer my fears! For I am God’s child and He has a fantastic plan for me.

  117. Hi Bro Bo!

    Thank you sooo much for such a wonderful message! God speaks to me through your words.. You are indeed a blessing from God for all of us… God bless you & your family always!

  118. For me, ” watching inner movies ” is just like worrying too much / entertaining unfounded anxieties, that if left unchecked would weaken our trust and confidence in our Lord. Good things come from our loving Father in heaven ; for that, we give thanks everyday of our lives. Sometimes, He may not grant our wishes, yet we know for sure it’s for the good of our souls , which really matters the most.
    Thanks Bro. Bo.
    God bless you and your family !
    Be happy everyone !

  119. I’ve been experiencing financial difficulties from the start of this month but with positive outlook and great faith in our Almighty God, slowly but surely I am recovering… Coz I’m keeping on my mind the inner movies entitled “God will never leave me”, ” I will move and God will provide”, “God will never leave me jobless, Coz I need to help my less fortunate siblings”. And I have an incoming movie also sir Bo, entitled ” God will bless me 1 million times than last year”.

    Thank you for inspiring us sir Bo.. This blogsite really helps me a lot. God Bless us all sir Bo!!!!

  120. Dear Bro,

    I receive emails from your office everyday but it is just now that i really took time to read it.. and it so happened that the article was “If you change your thoughts, you change your mind.” A very timely message for me… Thanks so much for your dedication to the service of Christ… You really help a lot of lost soul… from now on, i will never take these messages for granted… and i’ve forwarded this too to my friends and relatives… Thanks again! God bless us all!!!

  121. Thanks for the reminder! Your inspirational messages are always on time. GOD BLESS!

  122. wow.. what a nice article I’ve just read right now bro. bo,..
    life will get really better if we’ll set up our minds into something positive. though we are aware that there’s still a bad side of something but we must focus on the bright idea of the goodness of that something..

    did you know what’s the most fastest thing in the world?
    … it’s not a space shuttle
    … it’s not the light
    … it’s not the electric current
    …but, it’s the THOUGHT
    through our thoughts we are able to imagine things right before our minds and then eventually we will realize that what we have set-in constantly in our minds becomes a reality.

    … TNX :)

  123. Hi Bo:

    Peace and all good!

    Thanks for the great article Bro Bo! it’s so inspiring!!!
    It really touch my deepest bones and heart…
    I am with of what the article says..

    God Bless!!! and more power!

  124. Good Day Bro. Bo,

    Thank you once again to a wonderful very inspiring true story of life. I am in deep need this day and I am starting to be depress I can’t sleep well at night because of too much thinking of my financial problems. Thank you Bo for the enlightenment of my mind, thinking and belief and most of all my heart and trust to myself. God loves me so much.

    Liza

  125. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….. Thanks Bo…..

  126. this is an easy creative read that directly points to the socio-psycho roots of people’s problems, with spiritually uplifting and practical positive how-to’s. keep it up.

  127. thanks Bo….uve uplifted my spirit….you’re really a blessing to many especially for those who seem to be hopeless….continue inspiring people’s lives…GODBLESS!

  128. Thank you so much for the uplifting spirit in each of your words. They give me hope. From your article, i realized that I had bad movies in myself that hinders me from doing things successfully. At this moment, I decide to break all those bad movies and change them with good ones. You inspired me. Thank you so much bo. =)

  129. This is so TRUE AMAZING Bro. Bo. that is why HORROR movies are so true because we keep on rewinding it back into our minds/thoughts we keep on thinking it exists “ghosts” so to speak where our bodies/human beings are being wired to FEAR long before our past ancient times, when we are still young we are so afraid of the dark we are always being scared by our parents that we have to watch out there are monsters/ghosts out there WOW until I found out that it is all in our minds and keeping a focus of it makes it so real, but the BIBLE says “if God is with us who can be against us”
    Amen!!! Alleluia..!!! Give my clap clap to you Lord through your channel Bro. Bo.

  130. thanks a lot! ^^

  131. thank you bo!

    Philippians 4:8

    Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

  138. Hello Bro. Bo,

    Would like to attend the How to be Truly Rich Seminar.

    Please send me the details. thanks

  139. Greetings of Peace, Love & Prosperity
    Dear Bro. Bo,
    Truly, you came into existence to touch everybody’s life with your most precious thoughts.
    Just one favor, just a little prayer from you Bro. Bo.

  140. Wow… Amazing…

    I was just browsing my friend’s facebook account and for some reason I ran on this site. Actually, I couldn’t sleep today because I just got a message from my work place regarding a certain error in my work that must be reported. If I would give my inner movie a title, that would be “Series of Unfortunate Events,” and I mean literally. I was so pissed off. I prayed the rosary to ventilate all my feelings to God. After praying and ventilating, I made my report.

    I have just finished making my report. I was just browsing the net when I came across your blog…

    And this, THIS is the answer to all my prayers! I just couldn’t believe it came swiftly! But I so truly believe that God made a response to me through your blog (which, by the way, I really needed immediately).

    Thank God for you Bo, and thank you too! My faith just grew stronger and I am so much inspired…

    Again, Wow! Amazing!

  141. this is great..i’m enlightened again with your words sir Bo..i’m experiencing lot of difficulties right now..but with those words, i’ve regained hope that everything will be alright..i hope i could attend the feast again..you always touch my heart..

  144. Dear Bro. Bo,

I agree with you that we can always create a better world by starting to change our mind so that what we think are good , happy , peaceful and loving.
