You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. – James Allen
That’s kind of a scary thought. I will be tomorrow where my thoughts take me. So if I’m having a really bad day, and I’m having all sorts of crush, kill, destroy type of thoughts does that mean that tomorrow I’m going to go on a rampage? No, I don’t think so. I think that if you continually keep having negative thoughts (the crush, kill, destroy thoughts) you will turn into a negative person.
So does it mean you can’t have negative thoughts? Again I’m going to go with no. If you can figure out a way to not have a negative thought again please let me know how you’re doing it. To my way of thinking, we’re human beings. We have these emotions, both positive and negative for a reason, and trying to shut one of them off probably isn’t a good thing.
When you have those negative thoughts – go with them for a second, and examine where they’re coming from and why you’re having them, and then, try and find something positive within those negative thoughts. For example, I was at the grocery store and it was crowded. You would have thought the world was ending and everybody was trying to stock up on supplies before it did. I was stuck in a crowd of people as we slowly made our way up one aisle and down the next. To say I was frustrated was an understatement, but then, I bumped into a friend I hadn’t seen in quite a while. We had the opportunity to chat for a few minutes and then, continue our conversation as we chatted for a while. I took the negative of the crowded store and found a positive – visiting with a friend.
