(...) The mind is the battle ground. It is the place where the greatest conflict is.

There are more people in this room having trouble in their mind than there are people having trouble in their finances.

The struggle is in your mind!

This is why we have people who go to bed tired and wake up tired. Slept 8 hours and you wake up still tired. The reason you wake up tired is that you got sleep but you didn't get rest.

Your mind has been in turmoil all night long. You been wrestling in your sleep. Have you ever woke up and your bed was wet, the bed is all tore up just like you been in a fight. Because your mind has not rested. Your body went to sleep but your mind is still caught up in a warfare.

Your mind is the battleground. Touch somebody and tell them the enemy is after your mind {Crowd: The enemy is after your mind}.

Out to worry you to death, out to stress you to death, out to break you down, out to make you quit, out to make you think that you can't get up, out to make you give up on your dream.

The warfare is in your mind, it's not in your checkbook, it's not in your savings account, it's not on your job - the fight that you got to fight is in your mind, and if you whip it in your head, you can whip it your checkbook, you can whip it on your job, you can whip it out of your children.

But you gotta drive it outta your head.

Catch Yourself If You Fall
When changing your lifestyle permanently, it is so important to learn how to handle mistakes and hard situations in a way that will help you to preserve your self-esteem and move forward when they happen. When you are doing something new or stepping out of your comfort zone, you may stumble from time to time and it is okay.

Here are three steps that you can use to help you stick to your new lifestyle:

Be your own best friend - When you slip up, it is okay to feel angry or disappointed for a short while, just do not fall into the common trap of beating yourself up. It will only erode your self-esteem. Be a kind and supportive friend to yourself instead. Think about how a good friend or family member would support you and help you in this situation. Then do things and talk to yourself like he or she would.

There may be an opportunity or lesson - A mistake is very rarely permanent. It may feel like it at the time, but most often it is temporary and there is something you can do about the situation. It is important to tap into optimism and be constructive instead of becoming pessimistic. Think about what the opportunity or lesson may be in the situation you are in.

Take a small step to move forward or solve the situation – Once you have identified the opportunity or lesson, think about a small step you can take right now to start moving away from the situation. Then do it! After that, you can simply continue on with your new lifestyle.

 
"Make small victories every day. Something most people would think is no big deal but for you, it’s a win. Do that every day, and there will remain hope.”
 
Key to staying motivated is similar to fuel in a car—you don't need the motivation tank to be full to drive, you just need to prevent it from running empty :)
