Day 23 Grow

What is one area where I need to stop thinking my way and start thinking God's way?

Day 23 talks about growing as a Christian and spiritual maturity. Some people are unable or refuse to grow because they are intent on doing things their own way and thinking in old ways. According to the chapter we must not only rely on our own efforts to change because willpower will only get us so far; its the reason why so many of us fail diets, and only continue New Year's resolutions for a month or so. While we have the intent of changing our old ways, we still reflect in old habits and eventually go back to them. When trying to change and grown in Christ we must first change the way we think and give up on old habits. After that God takes care of the rest.
With regards to the aforementioned question, I need to stop thinking my way in general, however if I had to pinpoint one area I would have to say its with the company I keep. Some people I know do not have my best interests in mind and are only keeping down and away from what God wants from me.
