A mind is a terrible thing to waste

Good morning,

I was just telling someone yesterday that if we do not monitor our thoughts our minds would run free causing all sorts of havoc in our lives. It’s like give a young child $100 and dropping them off at the mall alone. Nothing good can from that. Well this is what happens when the mind runs free. Without guidance, you can find yourself in an uncomfortable position. We all do it. It’s called “assuming”. To assume is to “create” a scenario of what you “think” will happen.  You take bits of random information and construct an outcome. One would think that after an outcome has been created that the mind would chill……oh but nooooo it would not because the outcome has not been confirmed. That should be a clear indication that you are doing too much.  Usually people drive themselves crazy because they have either “assumed” or are not accepting the answer they have gotten. There are people that have received the answer but something in their mind says, “That can’t be true…..keep trying”. It’s like walking up to a wall, talking to it, and expecting it to say something back to you. It just doesn’t make sense. In that situation, it is what it is….. You will have to move on. When music artist are told no, they do not keep trying to get with that same person that told them no. They move on to the next. Their dream is still the same but how they go about making it come true is altered. Check yourself. Keep your hopes and dreams alive but do not confine them to one situation. The dream is fine but the circumstances that you are attempting to apply it to make not be right.  It’s your decision on how you want to monitor your mind. If you decide you want to let it run free and create a river of “maybe’s” then so be it. Just do not be surprised when you find yourself living a life that doesn’t make you happy. Be mindful of the things that are going on around you. Accept the positive support that others want to share with you. You will get to where you want to be faster if you are the manager over your own thoughts. You run the thought process, don’t let it run you!

AND remember an idle mind is the devil’s playground.

MAKE IT GREAT!
