*December 16*
Obsessing keeps us stuck and weakens our spirit.
We must give up trying to figure out other people. What they do is their journey, not ours. When we let their actions take up residence in our minds, we interrupt our own journey.
What we carry in our minds either nurtures us or tires us. We can be either refreshed or smothered by our thoughts. It’s easy to forget that we can discard any thought we don’t want. Our thoughts are not in charge of us; we’re in charge of them!
Learning to quiet our minds will allow us the opportunity to feel the presence of our Higher Power. Getting quiet and going within will help us understand our personal journey and help us be willing to let others have theirs.
Today’s Food for Thought:
My own journey and relationship with my Higher Power are all that need to be on my mind today.
