What Were You Thinking

"Nothing in this world will torment you as much as your own thoughts." ~Alie B. Moe~

Good evening dear ones. Have you ever had scenarios play in your head, only to realize that none of them came to pass? Have you ever had conversations with someone in your mind, only to have it go nothing like how you pictured it? In truth, our minds can be a danger to us more often than not. When a relationship ends, who do we usually blame? Ourselves. When an accident happens, who do we usually say is at fault? Ourselves. When life throws several curve balls at once, who do we say should have caught them? You guessed it, ourselves.

I have often let me thoughts take me to places that I shouldn't be. I would create scenes and stories in my mind that had nothing to do with reality, but had everything to do with my insecurities. These days I try not to let my thoughts take over. I have worked hard to let any harsh thoughts pass through without staying in my brain. It isn't an easy thing to do, especially after having lived with a lack of confidence for so long. I have let them shove me down to the depths of a darkness that held tight. However, with hard work and determination I have been able to tame those terrible thoughts. I have been able to observe them rather than let them keep me down. I can now rise up, and draw on the experience in the darkness as a guide.

So my loves, if your thoughts have become your torment, step back and ask yourself if they are giving you truth. If not, let them run their course without reaction. Observe and let them pass. Be good to yourselves and one another. Be Kind, Be Peace, and Be Love. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
