I'm so preprogrammed to go straight to STINKIN' THINKIN' whenever I get frustrated or hopeless or find myself despairing that no matter how much I try doing the "Good Thoughts" routine I end up falling flat on my face over and over and over again ...

But, I do keep trying ...

Perhaps one of these days, if I'm lucky, those old negative tapes that automatically kick in every time I face a challenge or setback will permanently find themselves deprogrammed and I'll miraculously find myself reprogrammed with some new positive ones ...
