OCTOBER 30: NEGATIVE THOUGHTS Let’s not fear our impure thoughts. It’s important to remember that every thought we harbor is self-generated and no thought is independently powerful without our acquiescence. While it’s true that many of our thoughts, every day, are wholesome and loving, a few are mean-spirited and can lead to regret. When they mirror the latter, we have momentarily succumbed to the ego’s control. That’s problematic, temporarily. We don’t have to honor any impure thought. It’s equally true, and maybe disturbing, that we don’t have to honor the good ones either. At least it’s fortunate that we are selecting friends who share our current spiritual journey and desire for more love and peace in our lives. It’s easier to make any new, positive behavior or way of thinking habitual when you surround yourself with role models who do likewise. But even when we sit among the naysayers, we don’t have to give our minds to the ego. Perhaps it’s our job, at that moment, to be the role model for everyone else. MY NASTY THOUGHTS ARE NO STRONGER THAN I MAKE THEM. TODAY IS OPEN TO MY INTERPRETATION.
