Hi Everyone,
Happy Monday! It’s been a while but here I am… back for another blog during my lunch hour here at the office… another avenue of my many forms of self expression…
I hope that everyone is enjoying their moments, wherever and whenever it may be! Just remember, where you are at, this very moment is something that is unique and irreplaceable… something very valuable that you can never recapture. That is something that we don’t really think about frequently.
Like everyone else, there were times when I found myself feeling tired and negative, sorry for myself for whatever reason. It is so easy during those times for us to take what we have that is wonderful in our lives and the most precious gift we have…. TIME for granted. I’m always amazed at how easy it is for negative thoughts to acquire “a life of it’s own” and take control.
I like to think of every day as a chance to start over and do things better. However, Mondays are especially potent as it is the beginning of a new week. Once upon a time, I had decided that I want to create a mantra for myself each Monday and live the week (and going forward) being true to that particular mantra. Am I successful? Surely not. No one is infallible. It’s part of being human… we tend to slack off from time to time. Yet, I think that it is okay to give yourself a break once in a while so long as you stick to the path you had created.
When I experience struggles in my life, the way I usually overcome the hurdles is by focusing on something positive that lifts me out of that space I am in and trusting that I have what it takes to find a solution to the problem! I am inherently an optimist but I am not always happy as some people think… those who know me well can attest to that but I always project a positive side of myself because I know that it is the only way that I can snap myself out.
Most people do not realize this but our minds are capable of creating amazing miracles! To me, one’s mind is like the most powerful talisman ever. This talisman called the “mind” functions on suggestion of the owner! The owner of the mind, is the controller. If the owner focuses on negative thoughts and things, the mind will manifest the negative… and visa versa! If you don’t take the driver seat, it will go on autopilot… focusing on whatever negative thoughts you may be carrying in your mind. You become in essence like a zombie. I’ve observed that this is why some people with experiences of bad luck who thinks that they are jinxed head down a path of negativity that takes over and multiply. It’s because they are projecting the negative!
I’ve come to realize from personal experience that if I want something to happen, I need to “think” and “act” as if it is happening already. Take actions in the direction of that which you want to manifest in your life. You can think of it as a mind training trick of sorts… but it WORKS! I am living proof of it!
So… I will leave you with this message:
CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS! DON’T LET IT CONTROL YOU!
May your thoughts bring you the joy in life you deserve and crave!
Until next time! xo
