Why??? God gave you your very own mind and you were created with a free will! Free to think!

But I don’t know what to think or how. This is something for you to think about. It’s easy to go through life letting others – high and low, tell us what to do and what to think, but you have a life to live and the freedom to think and decide on your own. Really, on the inside, you want to but don’t trust your own thoughts many times.

One of the best cures for this is to get alone, turn everything off and think. One of my favorite places to think was at the ironing board (what’s that?) or working in the flower bed with my hands in the dirt.

• Think about the things you want to think about – one at a time.
• Are these my thoughts?
• Do I think they are true and beneficial?
• How do I feel inside about this subject?
• Think about others who have successfully navigated this.
• Look to the examples from the past – from past centuries!
• Read good books to become knowledgeable.
• Talk about it with a very close friend – in person preferably.
• Then think some more.

Good thinking is a process, takes time, careful observation, solitude and often change in ourselves.

YOU! Be the master of your own thoughts. Develop and grow and become who you really want to be. It’s your mind! And your life!
