Wisdom and Blessings

One day I wondered in this amazing book store 

and saw this quote hanging in the ladies room.

It really got my wheels turning so I took a snap 

shot so I could remember it exactly.

After leaving I began to think back in my life 

and the more things started to click in my mind. 

 Worry aka fear of the future has always stolen my peace of mind. It literally stalled any chance of making headway in my spiritual growth and 

halted the progression of my dreams. I was

 paralyzed and no longer able to help myself 

let alone anyone else. By doing this a viscous cycle

 is then born leaving absolutely no room for serenity. 

After becoming quite annoyed 

of this state of being I began

 to retrain my mind to stay in the present 

and be about positive action.  

However, This is no simple task after spending 

a good part of a decade influenced greatly 

by fear and worry.

To make things simple I began to focus on

one worrisome issue at a time.

Instead of directly spiraling into worry

 I began to try the opposite

response when it entered my mind.

Over time I began to reverse my opinion 

or feelings on the mater which slowly ushered in

a little more peace of mind one thought

process at a time.

This is retraining your mind with your own power

which I consider a very precious jewel of wisdom.

Once I began to use this method of redirecting 

my thoughts I slowly began to realize 

that I had more room to give of myself.

I was no longer trapped in my own

 mind of worrisome torture.

Whatever seeds you plant and nurture in 

this life that which you will sow. 

The more that you give the more you

will gain.  

So plant a seed of love today and watch it grow!

Blessings to you and your loved ones!
