Your mind finds it difficult to concentrate, unless it’s concentrating on your past. Then it’s like a dog on a bone, and every time you try to change a past thought, it growls at you.

The best remedy for changing your thoughts is to not over think your past.

Happiness is what you experience when you’re connected to your heart.

The challenges you experience in life are intended to set you free of old thinking patterns.

Don’t take yourself or circumstances too seriously. Being serious inhibits your imagination and creativity. It makes your life boring and monotonous.

When you find yourself feeling bad about who you are, then your thoughts are betraying you.

Fear is like a runaway train. It creates its own momentum, and it’s hard to stop once it gets started.

The mind is certainly fickle. One moment it receives bad news and awfulizes , “Oh no, this is terrible.” Then, the next moment it receives good news and thinks, “Wow, this is great.” No wonder it’s so hard to manage your emotions and your thoughts from one moment to another.

Let’s make today a lighthearted and playful day.

Today, do something to pay it forward. You’ll be surprised by how good it feels and the responded kindness that will find you.
