Drag your thoughts away from your troubles…by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.
~Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens, American author and humorist
There must come a time when we let go of thoughts of despair and allow the emotions to move through and out so that we can embrace a life of overwhelming abundance. We get more of what we focus on. Awareness is the key. Life happens; circumstances that challenge us will come and go. When we are faced with a fire that can destroy us, believe that it will not; then be sure that the phoenix will rise again out of the ashes stronger than before. We get to choose where we go from here. We get to move forward one step at a time, letting go of thoughts that weaken us, and emboldening thoughts of empowerment. We have all had moments in which we have been dragged kicking and screaming to something that we did not want to do, only to be grateful in the end for having been obligated to do so. We must start dragging ourselves away, by the ears, heels, or any other way, from negative thoughts that tear us down to mantras that help us love our life again. Ultimately, we really don’t have control over what life delivers to each of us; we only have control in the surrender. And when we surrender, we are freed from all that keeps us down. The cage door of our mind is open; it is time to turn our thoughts around and walk away from the thoughts that hold us in captivity to an illusion. Step by step, the world will be a happier place as we shine brighter.
