Ok…Here it is. Years ago I started following a track of different people and quotes. In doing so I found a quote which has brought me to write this blog not sure how it went word for word but it went something like this:
“If you hold hate inside yourself, your drinking the poison that kills you instead”
Now where do you stand..I have spent some time over looking and thinking about this quote and I start with this story.
I was in fifth grade in Mesa, AZ with my mom, my sister and my moms new boyfriend. My father lived about twenty minutes away from my sister and I. My mother decided that it would be best for all of us if we moved and so it was known to everyone that we were on path to leave after we finished school…
But…in the last few months one would think my father would try to fight it and keep us or at least try to find a way to spend as much time as he could with us. But, instead he chose not to.. Then as a senior in high school I decided to send him an invite for my graduation but to my suprise he actually booked a flight!!! He came out on the Monday before I graduated(if my memory is correct) and spent most of his time with my sister and my nephew.
Then, the night before I graduated he called me to inform me that he saved a “BIG” fifty dollars leaving out early instead of waiting to watch me graduate..
Not that big of a deal to alot of you because I know you have had harder lives than me but I held that against him for the longest time and then just the other day I started thinking about it and realized I have held myself back more concerned with not being a failure like my father that I was on the same track he was on because I was drinking the poison!!!
That leads me to say this…
Don’t drink the poison!!!!!
At times our lives as humans is severely hard and things will go wrong. There is no way around that, but, when you focus on the negative your taking a shot of rat poisoning trying to run in the rat race and guess what?…
YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT!!!!
So where does this take me and you???????????
To this point..Positive thinking at all times will turn your life around more than you can recognise, in listening to a cd an old friend gave me by world renoun motivational speaker “Anthony Robbins” he talks about this seven day mental diet.
He said to stop all negative thinking for seven full days. Now I’m not saying that you can’t have any negative thoughts we’re only human…we can’t do that but if you have a negative thought, follow it imediately with a positive correction such as: What I really meant to say was…..
Do this for seven days strait. If you fail once you need to start over and once you have done this and completed it the poison of life will be flushed out of your system.
Even if it fails and you still drink the poison you will have another aspect of life
Give it a try. See what happens, and let me know the outcome.
Be Good and STAY BOOSTED
To Your Success in Life
