“You never can tell what a thought will do
In bringing you hate or love –
For thoughts are things, and their airy wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe –
Each thing creates its kind,
And they speed O’er the track to bring you back
Whatever went out from your mind.”
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Beware of your thoughts, my friend, for they are, whether you know it or not, creating your destiny.
Life is going to challenge you. People will do awful things. Yet in the midst of the myriad of emotions that arise you always have the ability to choose how you respond. The key is to breathe deep breaths, reminding yourself that each breath links you to Spirit, your Highest Self, the part of you that’s always above the fray.
And when you’re in a bind, think of kittens, puppy dogs, anything that lights up your life. You can’t go wrong with those!
