Change Quote by Noah Elkrief
““When we use our thoughts to make decisions, we often decide to stay in situations that we don’t enjoy because our thoughts make us fear change. Since our thoughts are all inherently based on the past, if we listen to our thoughts on how to act, we are basing our decisions on the past instead of allowing ourselves to follow what feels true in this moment.””
