You are Not your Thoughts
You are not your thoughts.
Stop identifying with them.
Thoughts are powerful, you know. Thoughts literally become things. Stop holding on to the negative ones and watch your life begin to change.
The longer you hold on, the more power they have over you, and the more chance that these thoughts will determine your future.
All thoughts come and go. Like clouds. If you had the power, would you hold a storm cloud over yourself and your family or would you let it pass by so that you can enjoy the sunshine once again?
Everything is temporary in life, and will pass by before you know it.
That thought that came to you earlier, you know the one that told you that you were ‘useless’ when you made a mistake. It wasn’t your thought. It might have been one of your parents’, or one of your peers’. It was someone else’s thought that has been projected onto you at some point throughout your life.
Why are you still giving other people the power over your mind? There comes a point in our lives when we have to stand up and take responsibility for our thoughts and the actions that follow.
Now I’m not saying that you will easily be able to eradicate those thoughts altogether, but you have a choice about whether you are going to keep repeating the same actions in life, or whether you’re going to perform new actions that will lead to new thoughts for the future.
Your choice needs to be made right now, or are you going to let the unconscious, and the thoughts of other people decide the course of your life?
You are not ‘useless’. You are limitless. You are the silence and the awareness that surrounds your physical body. You exist beyond all form. You are the trees, the rivers, and the mountains, too. You are not this vessel that carries you around. You are a ball of beautiful energy that comes from Mother Gaia herself. You are not your thoughts, and you are not the people who raised you. You are you. You have a choice. And you can decide what you will become tomorrow, and it starts with what thoughts you choose to entertain today.
