WHAT YOU THINK, YOU ARE

--------------------
It's a fine sunny morning today. And a nice occasional breeze to boot! A lovely day to think.......

There is something which we must try to learn --- that we cannot separate our thoughts from self. That thoughts spur our speech and action. What people hear us say or see us do would always point to the thoughts we hold in our minds. We are our thoughts.

Philippians 4:8
New International Version

'Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-- think about such things.'

God bless you, friends and all! :-)

PEOPLE ARE THEIR THOUGHTS

 

I like this from Sudhir Krishnan. Can't always read a person's mind; sometimes I try but fail poorly. So to help out in understanding a person I watch to see how he conducts himself or behaves or does things with his day or when he is around people. And this quote from Sudhir Krishnan tells me what I now know. People are their thoughts. Good or bad, everything stems from a thought. Plans, dreams, blessing, misery, betrayal, plagiarism, adventure, fun, joy, and more. By ordinary people, presidents and kings, the rich, philanthropists, saints, thieves, dictators, tyrants, corrupt officials, murderers, cheaters.... and everything else possessing of a mind and capable of thoughts.

Be careful with our thoughts. Everything starts from there.
Be blessed and stay blessed.

WORRY EMPTIES TODAY OF ITS STRENGTH

 

Life is such that it can be so wearying.. exhausting.. terrifying.. overwhelming and if you haven't learned to arm yourself against it... it will tear you down to pieces dash you to the ground quite easily. And that worries us. A lot! Indeed we worry about the slightest thing imagined or real that comes crashing through our doors. We steadily worry ourselves to unhappiness - sickness - desperation -- depression.. etc. etc. Geezz... writing about that already makes me feel so exhausted!

Here's a very nice piece I have found in my files last night. A nice one on Positive Energy written by arts4piece at MindSay, year 2006. Yes, I have kept it all of this time to serve as a reminder each time I'm feeling so worry wart-blue.

It may seem long but it's only about 300+ words... very important words. Take a few minutes to read it and you'll be glad you did. Some things no matter if we know them already need to be learned and relearned again and again.

To quote.....

      STOP THE WORRY TRAIN AND LET ME OFF!

"Energy is what runs this universe.....positive energy and negative energy.  The main energy source will bring to you the focus of your energy.  So, if finance is your area of need, focus on living in the lap of abundance.  Do not worry that there is no money for the car payment or next month's rent.  Put your positive energy into seeing the rent paid six months ahead, and "see" the clear car title in your hands.  The universe will give you the object of your focused energies.
 
Now, I'm not suggesting that you quit your job and sit back and focus positive thoughts on getting rich overnight.  Not the point at all.  But if you trust and believe that you are a child of God who created this vast universe, and who is the energy source for all that exists, and that your desires once released into the ether waves to be heard by all his emissaries, become the desires of the universal energy, you will learn to focus on what it is you DO want, not what you don't want.
 
Worry is a huge waste of energy.  It actually causes harm.  It is negative energy that mucks up the whole works.  You have so much power within you.....power to create just what it is you desire.  All you have to do is realize from whence that power comes, make a positive connection with it, believe in it, then trust in it, and start making it work for you.
 
Your thoughts are REAL, and they are just as powerful as hard physical labor.  If you think so long as you don't say negative hateful thoughts out loud, you've done no harm, you are not only fooling yourself, you are harming everyone. Negative thoughts actually lower the vibration of the universe.  Your thoughts are as real as the space where these words go when I push that "publish entry" button. 
 
Ever thought about that?  Where your words go when you do this blogging?  That same energy that takes your words where you want them to go takes your thoughts and stores them forever. 
 
Be mindful of your thought processes.  They carry great power."

CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS - CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Read this in my inbox this morning but it's good that I thought to bring it here to share....

"Entire water in the ocean can never sink a ship

Unless it gets inside.

All the pressures of life can never hurt you

Unless you let it in."

(Unknown)

Now that's a tough one. Who wouldn't be affected by the pressures of life. Everybody is touched by it in some big or small measure. It can hurt. You just have to look at the status lines on a social site --- it's there life as reflected in every printed word or emotion. Sometimes a person without even saying much reveals even so much more ----- you would see and understand the ripples of the heart beneath it.  How do I know that? Simple. I'm a human being too and whatever it is you're going through I have my share. Maybe differently and in some other measure, but it has the same name..... the pressures of life.

What to do?

Let it roll. It will happen, like it or not. Because it was meant to happen for a reason. Oh you know that. But strangely when in the throes of hurt or pain the brain is numbed to a stop --- it won't think, can't think. So take a deep deep breath... breathe deep -- and exhale all that toxic energy out of your system. Once, twice, several if need be but do it! No it will not make your worries disappear but YES it will recharge you, energize you, give you a lift -- and then say  'THANK YOU!'  to  WHOEVER  it is you always thank when feeling good. No matter if it's just a wee bit good or the teeniest-weeniest good that you feel. It's still good! It's something to be truly thankful for.

Now feeling better, you can start from there. You can change your day, your life, or the world if you think it needs changing. Nothing can hurt you if you won't let it. It's as simple as that. You are in control of your responses to life, you have the power, and most importantly you have the prayer. Pray away!

Have a blessed Sunday, everyone.
