Do Not

Waste Your Thoughts!

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Enjoy the moment

“Stop being afraid

of what could go wrong

and

think of what could go right”

This requires

a change in the way we Think.

To have a Positive Mindset.

“Fear” can stop us

from doing so many things,

and we miss opportunities

that may not come back to us.

In every ‘situation’,

there are so many things

that “CAN” go right

that thinking any other way

is a waste of time.

It is Good to be cautious

and to ‘weigh up’ certain ‘things’

that come into our Lives.

This is necessary

to Protect ourselves.

But we need

to keep that Balance.

We need

to have that

Positive ‘frame of Mind’.

When we are ‘practicing’ this every day,

when the smaller things face us,

we will have that much more

Confidence

in what can go right

when the larger ‘things’ come along

into our Lives.

When we have “Control” of our Lives,

it is in our hands

to make sure that things go right.

And most ‘situations’ in our Lives

can be Beneficial —

if we would only let them.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

    I love the focus on shifting from fear to positive thinking! The idea that we control how things go in our lives and can make the most of situations with the right mindset is so empowering!
