It is your thoughts that shape the mood of your day that can last many years. If your mind is clear and lacking of impure thoughts and feelings, joy becomes your ever-permanent shadow. We witness so many dear souls blaming others for the misfortunes they have met so far on this journey of life. Many shy away from realizing that it is their own thoughts that wears the darkened cloak of despair. Even if you take a wrong turn and find yourself in unsavory company, it is you making the choice to go in that direction. All your actions, thoughts, feelings, words even if written, your intentions and choices are your responsibility. Yes there are some things in life you cannot control, but you can control how you react and respond to them.
It is well determined and understood that people tend to blame everything else for their mistakes rather than taking the time to recognize the truth. And what is the truth? Since the truth varies from person to person, it is imperative that you get to know your own truth instead of worrying about what another person is doing. The truth is your thoughts determine how well you are going to progress or how deeper your stagnation will become. Where is the joy living as a victim of your negative thoughts with no intention of ever changing? Without change, there is no growth or development and if there is no growth or development, how can you truly say you are grateful and appreciate the journey you have experienced so far?
Hard times will come and they will go, just as your feelings. You will get negative feelings every now and then, but let them come, welcome them as the visitors that they are and let them be on their way. It is up to you to learn how to discipline your thoughts because eventually your thoughts become actions. By becoming more disciplined with the formation of your thoughts, you gift yourself the ability to make mindful decisions that attract joy, peace and happiness into your life. By taking the effort, even to change the smallest of negative thoughts or ways, you are bringing great improvement to your life that will reflect well in other areas of life that have a tendency to flow into your tomorrow.
