The ordinary human being thinks about twelve thousand thoughts a day.
~ Susan Smith Jones
The mind is seldom at rest; it drifts from one scenario to another. But this busyness accomplishes little. In many instances, it sets us up for conflicts with others.
Thinking has its place in leading a responsible life. Yet making a commitment to monitor all our thoughts, and to give up willingly those that are negative toward ourselves or others, is wise.
Nothing is stopping us from thinking only beneficial thoughts. What are you feeling, right now? If it’s not positive, then your thoughts may be at fault. It might be helpful to review them.
Whatever I think today is within my grasp. Keeping my thoughts beneficial to myself and to others will have a positive payoff.
