WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

"Since we are destined to live out our lives in the prison of our minds, our one duty is to furnish it well."

Do you like the emotions or feelings you are experiencing at this very moment? If you like what you are feeling, inventory your thoughts. What are you thinking about? You now know that those thoughts result in emotions you prefer or enjoy. If you don't like what you are feeling, inventory your thoughts. What are you thinking? Those thoughts trigger feelings you don't like or want. We have an amazing power that comes standard with our basic internal wiring. This power is the ability to choose our own thoughts. It is our thoughts that trigger or launch what we are feeling. Thoughts equal emotions. If we can choose our thoughts, then we can choose our emotions. Our thoughts do not need to be a random collection of images, ideas, sounds, etc. Instead of allowing our current environment to determine our thoughts and in turn our feelings, we can choose our thoughts. The ability to choose our own thoughts is a freedom no one and no thing can ever take from us.
