Thoughts are Powerful Enough to Kill or Nurture
What you do with them is up to you
If thoughts are like raindrops, how will you maintain them? One study says humans have around 6,200 thoughts each day.
I woke up to the sound of rain falling outside. The longer and harder the water falls from the sky the heavier, more solemn, more threatening it sounds. What first sounded gentle and cleansing is now blaring like an affront.
You can let the rain assault you or you can keep going. Some days the rain will feel gentle and nurturing. Other days it will feel like abuse. Some days it is a mixture of both, depending on the season.
When rain turns to sleet and hail it can beat you up, and when it mixes together with water at the right temperature and is maintained, you can find yourself trapped in a solid sheet of ice. It’s at this moment more than ever that you have a choice to make.
You can stay frozen in ice, paralyzed, and hope someone comes along in the future to rescue you, or you can break out of the mold that’s been created for you. Perhaps you’ve been shoehorned in by those who want to hold you back, or you’ve been your own enemy of greatness. Your heart may be slowing, but there’s still life in your veins.
How will you nurture your thoughts today?
