Watch your thoughts

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.
Unknown source

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.

Positive thoughts generate positive results. Think positive and remember that old adage your mommy told you"If you don't have anything nice to say about somebody, don't say anything at all." Your words will come back to you someday........

excellent post Free...so true...funny timing...ive met someone who is making me see how negative and self destructive I am being while secretly dealing with the psychological mindf*ck that xMM laid on me. I dwell on the negatives in life (have had lots of them..far more than positive)almost like an old crumudgeon... I realize...I am killing my life this way...honoring the grief(s) too much. I am 40...not much life left...i better turn it around(!) because i am **only** 40 . (see i am learning)lol

thanks Free,
Lizzie
