Have you ever noticed how negative things propagate so fast and how bad news travels like wild fire?
That is equally how bad thoughts try to take root in our minds and multiply like Hairy panic tumbleweed of Australia.
Before you can even grasp what is going on, it’s dug in and developed a tap root that uprooting it becomes a major upheaval.
This is why we must remain consciously vigilant of the thoughts that takes up the space in our minds.
We must consistently nourish our minds carefully as we hopefully nourish our bodies, so, that there is little room for tumbleweeds to proliferate.

I just read this: A negative thinker sees a difficulty in EVERY opportunity. A POSITIVE thinker sees an opportunity in EVERY difficulty.

Good positive thoughts! And it is true that we can discipline ourselves to control what we choose to think of, and what not. Harness your mind, rather than the other way around! Yes! I REALLY like your theme. Good to be reminded of this… A very spiritually uplifting post!
