If you are a
follower of my blog, you know that I use positive sayings to influence how I
live. If I see that I need an attitude correction, for example, I’ll start
digging through my notes and books I read until something strikes home.
Living with
Kennedy’s Disease, or any progressive neuromuscular disorder, requires regular attitude
adjustments or you can find yourself wallowing in the gutter. Thoughts are
powerful and can change your perceptions immediately.
Today’s
topic is the beginning of my "Words of Power" series. These words are important to me. It helps keep me going, especially when I
am a little down.
“My life is controlled
by what I accept and believe”
This is a
powerful statement. One that forces me to place any blame for a negative
attitude on myself. My wife mentioned recently that I never complain. My
response was, “Why should I? No one ever listens.”
Unfortunately,
my comment isn’t entirely true. I
LISTEN! My subconscious listens to what I think. I don’t even need to verbalize
the thought for it to do damage.
For that
reason,
“I choose to entertain only
positive and nourishing thoughts”
That doesn’t
mean something negative or destructive doesn’t try to wedge its way in occasionally.
But, when I realize what is happening, I pull out my gratitude journal and just
read a few pages of my random thoughts.
B.K.
Clive said it best. ““Today, just take time to smell the roses, enjoy those
little things about your life, your family, spouse, friends, and job. Forget about the thorns -the pains and
problems they cause you - and enjoy life”
