You Decide

TODAY'S QUOTE: You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be. Wayne Dyer

Feet don't take root in any given location or situation, holding you hostage against your will. But the mind can and certainly will if it's allowed the freedom to do so. An idle mind is anything but; let it wander without direction and it will single-handedly create more, "oh shit" moments than you can imagine. If you suddenly find yourself drowning in an ocean of issues that never occurred to you before it's not time to rest in place... it's time to kick ass.

Why be satisfied to be stuck on stupid? Why donate your home to squatters? Why collapse in confusion and lose control by default? Why not get angry enough at every uninvited negative notion to clean house and man the door against any future invaders? Anything that pushes you down, either mentally or physically can't be allowed a foothold inside of your three feet of personal space. If it's a person who's bringing you down at least be able to boast the fact that it isn't your doing.

It's hard enough to untangle yourself from a bad relationship with someone else, but it's harder still to get free from yourself. Wherever you are, well there you are... wherever you go, well you're there too. There is no getting free; there is only getting control. Even after you know better there will still be times when you have to regain control. That gets easier with time and practice, but there will never come a time when it isn't necessary to think more then you speak and brake in mostly equal proportion to how much you accelerate.

Negatives hold you back, while positives push you forward. Negatives are drains, while positives are fountains. And there is nowhere on earth where they do more damage than inside a brain left unattended. Use your mind in a way that feeds your soul and makes your heart sing. Direct your thoughts to calmer surroundings and decisions will come from a position of power. Direct your actions and they'll come from a wiser position. Give your soul the deciding vote and gain some portion of grace. It all begins with mindfulness of what is allowed access and what is denied. And that my friend is for you to decide. Think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
