Free Your Mind

“Each of us may have views that we hold on to and consider to be the truth, and we are attached to those views. But if you get caught in your views, then you have no chance to progress. Most of the time, our head is so full of thoughts that we have no space to listen to ourselves or anyone else. Silence allows for deep listening and mindful response, the keys to full and honest communication.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh~

Good evening dear ones. The quote today resonates so much with me lately. My head has become so full that I am having trouble sleeping. Truth can be so elusive and I often wonder is there really any truth out there. I spent many years trying to become a witness to my thoughts, and failing miserably. I have tried meditation, journaling, and other things that haven’t really helped focus my energy.

My loves, so much has happened over the last few weeks that it is difficult to maintain my concentration. I recently got a new job, I have hopefully sold my house, and I got married, and this is just a small amount of what I carry with me each day. As time goes on, I will continue to work towards my goal of clearing my mind of everything that races through it and I encourage anyone else to do the same. Take a breather and give yourself some space from any thought that tries to steal your peace. Remember that they are just that… Thoughts. They aren’t fact. They aren’t reality. Witness what comes through your head, thank it, and let it go. Clear the way for what is important… Happiness, joy, and love.

Take care of yourselves and each other. Remember that everyone is going through something, so be kind. This world needs more compassion and a hell of a lot of heart. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn’t promised. Live and Love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
