Incomplete Compassion

Mindful Second Thoughts

It is impossible to control every thought that enters our minds. However, we can make the effort to patrol our mental environment.
We have the power to accept or reject any thought that floats through our consciousness.
The only goal is to be conscious, non-judgmental and mindful.


What are your foundational thoughts?
Which ones are you choosing to keep?
Which ones are you willing to change?
The choice is solely your own.



The NEXT Thought

“Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts,
only you can change them.”

Paramahansa Yogananda


 My take on this truth is this:
We have little or no control over the natural and organic thoughts that come into our consciousness.
I believe many people, and many therapists, waste time and energy attempting to control  AND ANALYZE these organic thoughts.
Instead, I have learned how to learn to choose what I focus and dwell upon.
 THIS. This is what is meant by choosing our thoughts.
What you feed-GROWS.

Let go of the desire to change, control, or become analytical about the natural thoughts you experience.
WE ARE NOT OUR THOUGHTS.
WE ARE HOW WE RESPOND TO THEM.

Revenge

The ugliest word in the world is revenge.

It spells hate;
 it spells fear;
it spells greed.
For my loss,
 I must kill;
I must steal -
 I must avenge.
It's your fault;
you must pay;
 you must bleed.
