Just thoughts
+++++++++++++++++++
Frustration is nothing more than a thought, yet it can turn a
beautiful day into a miserable experience when you continue to
hold it in your mind. Worry is nothing more than a thought, and
even so it can hold you captive as surely as a cage made of
steel bars.
Confidence and determination are just thoughts, too, and when
you continue to think them you can achieve incredible things.
Happiness is a thought as well, one that can bring magnificent
beauty and fulfillment during those times you choose to hold
it in your mind.
The next time you are frustrated, worried, angry or annoyed,
remember that it's because you have decided to be so. You can
just as easily decide to be confident, positively determined,
patient, understanding, peaceful and even happy.
If it sounds foolish and unrealistic to think peaceful thoughts
of confidence when you're surrounded by turmoil and disorder,
ask yourself this question. Would it be better to join in that
turmoil with your thoughts, or to rise powerfully and positively
above it?
Your actions, your results, and the course of your life are
directed by your thoughts. And your thoughts are ultimately
determined by who you truly choose to be.
