Fighting Negative Thoughts With a Positive Attitude:

 

You can fight your negative thoughts effectively

Our mind is filled with thoughts constantly and it is

these thoughts that shape our actions.

When negative thoughts take over our mind we can make

it turn towards the positive only with the help of our attitude

[[al...]]

 

" Dreams are renewable.

No matter what our age or condition,

there are still untapped possibilities within

us and new beauty waiting to be born."

The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can,

I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate

their waking thoughts on what they should have or

would have done, or what they can't do."

 

~ Dennis Waitley ~

"Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it.

If we're frantic, life will be frantic.

If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful.

And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace."

 

~ Marianne Williamson ~

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth,

so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom

appears from a pure and peaceful mind.

 

To walk safely through the maze of human life,

one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Let us rise up and be thankful,

for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little,

and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick,

and if we got sick, at least we didn't die;

so, let us all be thankful.

 

~ Buddha Quote ~

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom let it be.

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom let it be.

Let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

 

And when the broken hearted people

Living in the world agree,

There will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted there is

Still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. Yeah

There will be an answer, let it be.

 

And when the night is cloudy,

There is still a light that shines on me,

Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom let it be.

Let it be, let it be.

There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be,

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Time:

 

"Time is free, but it's priceless.

You can't own it, but you can use it.

You can't keep it, but you can spend it.

Once you've lost it you can never get it back."

[[al...]]

 

The Benzo Beast

 

It's devious and deceptive, confusing and cunning.

It messes with your intellect, your sense of reality, and your emotions. 

It puts unwanted, frightening, catastrophic thoughts in your head. 

It's as if it were alive like some kind of demon or monster that holds on and doesn't want to let go. 

It's a war.  But it can be won.  It's insidious and all pervasive, but it can't win in the end if we are determined. 

We can rid ourselves of it and we do recover. 

Trust me.  It's the truth. 

[[al...]]

 

 

“The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they

trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with.

To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves,

we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes. ”

 

~ Pema Chödrön ~

Willpower, which is inner strength, manifests as the ability to control

unnecessary and harmful impulses. It also manifests as the ability to make a decision,

abide by this decision, and follow it with perseverance, until its successful accomplishment.

 

This ability also gives you the courage and strength to endure and overcome

inner and outer resistance and opposition, difficulties and hardships.

[[al...]]

“It hurts to let go.

Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away.

You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted.

For having wanted to be wanted.

It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small.

Because it's so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn't come back.

You're left so alone that you can't explain.

Damn, there's nothing like that, is there?

I've been there and you have too.

You're nodding your head.”

“Once upon a time, the Reindeer took a running leap and jumped over the Northern Lights.

 

But he jumped too low, and the long fur of his beautiful flowing tail got singed by the rainbow fires of the aurora.

 

To this day the reindeer has no tail to speak of.

 

But he is too busy pulling the Important Sleigh to notice what is lost.

 

And he certainly doesn’t complain.

 

What's your excuse?”

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school.

They don't teach you how to love somebody.

They don't teach you how to be famous.

They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor.

They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer.

They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind.

They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying.

They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”

 

~ Neil Gaiman ~

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love.

When we are afraid, we pull back from life.

When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion,

excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first,

in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves,

we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.

Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and

open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

"Myself"

 

by Edgar A. Guest

 

I have to live with myself and so

I want to be fit for myself to know,

I want to be able as days go by,

To look at myself straight in the eye.

I don't want to stand with the setting sun

And hate myself for the things I've done.

 

I don't want to hide on a closet shelf

A lot of secrets about myself,

And fool myself as I come and go

Into thinking that nobody else will know

What kind of person I really am;

I don't want to dress myself in sham.

 

I want to go with my head erect,

I want to deserve all peoples respect

And in this struggle for fame and pelf

I want to be able to like myself.

I don't want to look at myself and know

That I am a bluster and empty show.

 

I cannot hide myself from me;

I can see what others can never see;

I know what others can never know,

I cannot fool myself, and so

 

Whatever happens, I want to be

Self-respecting and conscience free.

Sunrise doesn't last all morning,

a cloudburst doesn't last all day.

Seems my love is up

and has left you with no warning.

It's not always been this grey.

 

All things must pass,

all things must pass away.

 

Sunset doesn't last all evening,

a mind can blow those clouds away.

after all this my love is up

and must be leaving.

It has not always been this grey.

 

All things must pass,

all things must pass away.

 

All things must pass

none of life's strings can last.

So I must be on my way,

face another day.

 

Darkness only stays at night time,

in the morning it will fade away.

Daylight is good

at arriving at the right time.

It's not always

will to be this grey.

 

All things must pass,

all things must pass away.

All things must pass,

all things must pass away.

 

~ George Harrison ~
