There are many thoughts flying around in the air – looking for someplace to land, take root and begin to grow – producing more of them.
Not every thought landing on you is your own. Many thoughts are tares, weeds sent to suck away nutrients from us (like a parasite ! YUK!) Their purpose is to prevent growth and good and gain. They want to consume all your valuable time.
How many, many times have we succumbed to these wrong thoughts, thinking we were the originator of the bad thoughts?? I have done so, far too many times!
Then we feel guilty and condemned that we’re a bad person, and we let the thought continue to grow for weeks, months, decades and thought patterns are formed to where we think, “This is who I am, This is who my family is, This is my lot in life”.
Only if we allow those thoughts to become one with us do we become what we think about (then ultimately talk about and do about).
Let’s see them for what they are and begin to earnestly reject any thought that tells to do bad, or that we are bad, or that we are no good, or worthless, or unneeded, or crazy, mixed up or stupid.
We were not created to be that way. We were created to be good and to do good and help others do good.
One of the best ways to reject these bad thoughts is to simply ‘change the channel’. Find something else to do to occupy your mind. Get busy with a new project and direct your thoughts towards making something. Go outside and take a walk, go to the gym, get out of the house and talk to others.
You have the power to refuse those thoughts. Use it!
