“Whatever may be the tensions and the stresses of a particular day, there is always lurking close at hand the trailing beauty of forgotten joy or unremembered peace.”
― Howard Thurman
“We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie.”
― David Mamet
You are what you think about all day long. How could it be any other way? Consider how life is processed through you as opposed to happening around you. Everything you see, hear, and feel is taken in by your senses and then your brain turns it into something. What that something is depends on you.
Stress cannot occur without your permission. Use the ability to control your own mind and turn everything into possibilities. Change can occur, and rapidly at that, if you decide in your mind that it will. Never entertain the idea of limitations, but instead focus with crystal-clear intent on what you want to see. Then go about doing what needs to be done, for without action dreams can never become reality.
Thoroughbred of the Ages – On June 9, 1973, the magnificent Secretariat put on a show at Belmont to take the final leg of the Triple Crown. He punctuated his brilliance with a 31-length win and is still one of the most recognizable names in the sport. He would become the first horse in 25 years to accomplish the Triple victory.
Thought of the Day – Blame is a destructive emotion. Take responsibility for your life and what surrounds you. Putting the onus on others for your happiness or sense of self-worth is neither fair nor is it productive. If you love, or don’t love yourself, it doesn’t matter what anyone else says or does. Nothing can change the way you feel about yourself when you know the truth.
Have a special day.
“All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.”
― Eckhart Tolle
