What do you tell yourself?

 What do you tell yourself?  Is your self-talk lifting you up or pulling you down?  Is your day wonderful or awful?  It depends on whether you believe what your mind is saying.  It depends on if you counter a negative thought with a positive thought.  A negative thought is poison and a positive thought countering it is medicine, is the cure.  Don’t let a negative thought poison your mind.

Your mind talks without your permission.  What does it say?  It says what it has been programmed with.  It repeats what was recorded on it from youth.  Train a young mind and it will not depart from its programming.  Your mind is like a radio playing music.  What music does it play. Does it play, “I am a winner.  I never lose.  I am always OK.”  Or does it play, “I’m a loser.  I never win.  And the weather sucks.”

If you think you are your mind, you think your mind is you, and never give what it says a contrary thought. Not a single challenge. If you do that, you are your mind’s bitch.  You are its goffer, its slave, its victim and flunky.  Your mind is a tool.  Don’t be its fool.  Take charge of your mind.  Talk to it.  Make it obey you.  Make it say what you want it to say.  Don’t accept its program without analyzing its program.  If your mind is making you miserable, reprogram it.  You are the guardian at the gate of your mind.  Do your job right and you will enjoy all that is life.
