I Decide What I Think and Feel..

Belief in anything, good or bad, is the creation of a thought. Anything you think about will become a reality in your mind. I once believed that I had no control over my life. I believed that what you were handed in life was what you deserved. I believed that society had set the standards of how we were to respond to those circumstances, how we were to live our lives, and how we must accept our circumstances and suffer the consequences. My belief in my thoughts had no basis for reality other than what I was taught by others. However, what they normally don’t teach you is that one element that will change your entire life for the better. You have a voice inside of you. An internal guidance system that knows when things don’t sound quite right. When you tell yourself something bad, it speaks up for you and then you usually feel pain and conflict, then you move into justification of your thought, “but, she said that I have to react this way, just like everyone else does.” Once you have thoroughly justified yourself, then you are set to suffer in your circumstances and grateful to do so (because society says you should be).



You can see how we develop a warped sense of gratitude from that kind of life style. Many people express gratitude and really believe they are feeling gratitude. But do they really feel it? Do they get that surge of love in their chest when they feel grateful for the blessings in their life?



I now believe that I do have control over my life. I have control of what I choose to think and feel and believe. In the last couple of years I have been become a seeker of knowledge and truth and self awareness. This has made ALL the difference to me in my diagnosis. It’s never too late to begin, no matter what circumstance you are facing. Send out a prayer for guidance and you will be amazed at the information that you will receive and the timing of the delivery of the information you seek. Be open to new ideas and be open to the opportunities for growth and knowledge. It doesn’t always present itself in a way you imagined it would. Always be grateful for new knowledge whether you think it is applicable or not. You may find down the road it was more spot on than you now think. Most importantly, choose your thoughts wisely. Choose thoughts of love and hope instead of fear and despair. When you think fearful thoughts immediate find loving thoughts to replace them with. Look for the good points of every situation instead of all the bad points. Decide to choose “feel good” thoughts.



At any moment you can have things happen to you that would be considered by most to be a tragedy, but if you choose love and hope over fear and despair, these things we often fear the most can become the greatest opportunities for growth and discovery.
