Thought is the sculptor who can create the person you want to be.
Henry David Thoreau, 1817-1862, American Author/Critic/Naturalist
Thoughts are controlled by each brain owner, so allowing rubbish to accumulate is the collectors choice. Free will is every humans birthright, and its most precious use is always exercised internally. We can screen our notions, adjusting our reactions to outside influence where needed for maximum mental health, or we can let our thoughts wander where they will until they lead us into madness of one sort or another.
All of us have the power, but even the ones who exercise it sometimes allow their attentions to focus so completely on issues that belong to other's, leaving their own untended. Once our back is turned our mind starts rotating at a speed well out of our comfort zone. Chaos quickly makes a mess of even the most well ordered noggin.
Let me stress here that the fault for any brain bedlam caused by self-neglect is NEVER the responsibility of whomever we gifted all our thoughts to. Once we lose control, we waste a lot of time and effort just reacting to all sorts of notions that never get processed in a sane manner.
Our thoughts about ourselves become actions, which alter our reality in either a good or bad direction. Whichever route we travel is always driver choice. How we think about ourselves dictates how other people see us. How we view our own reflection also dictates self-respect. If we don't treat ourselves with the right amount of dignity then we really can't fault anyone else for following our lead.
We all get to whatever point we reach by a metamorphosis that is driven by upbringing, environment, and free will. We have no choice in our upbringing... environment can be forced as well... but free will gives us the liberty to overcome even the worst of our circumstances. If we aren't who we want to be, we can cripple our chances of ever reaching our ideal by blaming uncontrollable misfortunes, or we can evolve into a better, stronger, self.
Be a work or art worthy of a pedestal... and it all begins with one positive thought, followed by positive actions. Think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
