To All,

I've been out of the A for several months now, and I read this the other day. It really 'hit home' for me and helped me to get strong about staying 'A Free'.
I hope it can help others, because God knows I struggled for months.

I was reading about 'negative karma'. If you search out there, you will find a lot of information on it. Everything we do, we do to ourselves. We are not victims. We make our own choices and we are responsible for them. (Powerful words).

A blurb...

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

To avoid having negative thoughts that lead to negative actions in the future, we need to observe and control our own thoughts and behaviour, and destroy our negative attitudes.
- Similarly, we can observe/study (meditate) our own mind and encourage positive thoughts that lead to positive actions.

Good luck to all.
