Proof of the Power
 

I speak of the POWER of the mind, of which, many do not think is true. So many just keep telling me: I can't help it, or I can't control the unhappy feelings.

If you can, recall some of the times when one or more of these things filled your mind:

1.  Sadness
2.  Negative Thoughts
3.  Poverty
4.  Unhealthy
5.  Depression
6.  Lonely
7.  Fear
8.  Doubt
9.  THE WORST!

I'd like to ask you a question, which comes first, these emotions, or a THOUGHT? And, if you can recall
the day that you felt this emotion, what type things happened, what type people did you attract? For when
you are mired and controlled by your shadow within, it GLOWS for all to see, feel and react to!!

Negative thought - this is where it begins. And my friend, YOU are the one who ALLOWS that negative
thought to grow, BECAUSE you keep feeding it more negative, so YOU are validating it, TELLING your mind
you want MORE, AND MORE!!

You can water the flowers, OR the weeds, and either will grow!! You see, you mind does not KNOW, or CARE, what you feed it!! Your mind does not KNOW or CARE if the seeds you plant are REAL or a WISH, or a DREAM. It is YOUR believe, in whatever it is, that tells your mind to GROW IT. And, if YOU keep feeding it, the mind feels WONDERFUL, as it is doing what YOU are asking.

In the same way, that all you eat, drink and breathe becomes you - it is the SAME with what you THINK!! It
is all about seeds. As you are, you are because of seeds, that either YOU planted, or you allowed someone
to plant for you. BUT, it is YOU who chooses to nurture and feed those seeds, until they grow, AND you
have the POWER and ability to discard them, by refusing to feed them more.

All the above SHOULD make you aware of how SIMPLE being happy is.  Replace each negative though with a positive thought, do it over and over and over - UNTIL you begin to automatically THINK positive - and if you WANT to - you WILL!!  From the moment you begin to be aware of your negative thoughts, and to CHALLENGE them and replace them, YOU WILL BE IN CONTROL!!
