Living in a box of our fleshly covering.
A box that holds us down to this reality we call Life.
Inside of this box, exists, all we think and feel.
What we think and feel is not always the reality of the world.
We can be imprisoned into mind sets that would steal the fullness of life from us.
What we think about greatly influences what our life is to become.
We can think ourselves into a dark and lonely world.
So many of us have been a prisoner in our own minds.
We can literally think ourselves to death.
Our whole existence resides in our train of thought.
I cannot repeat myself enough on this subject.
It is so very important to realize this about ourselves.
We have the power to create our own futures.
We have the power to make our lives what we want it to be.
So many give up so easily, because we do not realize, that we do not have to live inside of that box.
We can soar to the heavens and back in mind and spirit.
I have come to the point in my life, where I can have peace in any situation.
I am here to remind you of what you already know, and have not remembered, until now.
Our mind is where life really exists.
What you think about...is what you act upon.
For many years, I entertained self pitying thoughts, thoughts of anger, and thoughts of self destruction.
I was wasting my life on thoughts that hurt me.
I kept myself in a box that hurt me.
I chose to live in that cramped box full of thoughts that weighed me down.
We were meant to fly free, to dream, to live an existence of Hope.
Why do we choose at times in our lives, to dwell upon self destructive things?
When we choose to dwell in those dark places, we almost deserve what we get.
When we refuse to control our thought life, we refuse to take responsibility for our own lives.
We are responsible for our own lives, God does not pity us when we pity ourselves.
He has given us all we need to overcome any power of dark thoughts.
We choose to entertain these dark thoughts that would love to consume us.
Living inside of a box, is our own choice, we have free will.
Free will has everything to do with the way we think.
Any action, was first a thought.
Look at murder for instance, do you think that those that murder, just happen to murder someone one day, out of the blue?
No, they thought about it first.
Do you think that those who live a satisfied life full of peace, are just lucky?
No, they think satisfied and peaceful thoughts.
Thoughts become actions.
What have you been thinking about?

Instead of you are what you eat, how about you are what you think. You have a very important message here, LftH. I hope we all take it to heart. xx

Great post DS, like a wise guidebook for seekers everywhere. My only regret is that, like you, I never discovered this truth you speak of earlier in my life.

All of my writing is merely a reminder to all we already have and know inside of us.
Keep trying to escape that box, you surely will if you do not give up.
Thank you for the lovely comment.

I have missed you!
Reminders can change our lives.
We tend to forget what is truth, while the world catches us, up inside of it.

Sometimes we think that we do not get what we deserve in life.
That may be true, but all things that we go through, are destiny.
I believe that.
This type of mind set is not a magic formula to get everything we want in life, it is the truth to overcoming bitterness setting in, and to help us realize that our minds can come to the point where we accept all things as destiny, making us able to accept and live with all aspects of life, in peace.
Peace.

You have it right there.
Out of the heart flows the issues of life.
Our thoughts mold and surely create our whole outlook on life.

Exactly, we are what we think.
Or should I say, we become what we think.
I would even go as far to say, I guarantee that we will become what we think.

if we close our eyes we can be anywhere and do anything, our imagination can keep us sain or drive us to paranoia, i have always thought this, i've been told i have my head in the clouds since i was young, supposedly making me rebelious and a bit of a loose cannon, but no matter how life hurts me i can make myself happy with thoughts and fantasies of a better life, and slowley but surely i am headed straight for that better world, where my thoughts will have to work harder to find the things i wish i had
wonderful post DS, its amazing how you take the things that most of us take for granted and remind us of how important they are
love to you xxxxx

Passion focused inward is Drama. Passion focused out is peace within.
I am so glad you are being focused out and you are such an inspiration to so many. You always amaze me with your words and how you can express yourself with such clarity that others can understand.
I am thinking about.... Whats next in my life. I am declaring everyday how I want it to look. I then have a life coach that keeps me accountable 6 days a week.
I learned the Secret many years ago and now I am teaching it to others.
Again thank-you for sharing your life thru your blog. I look forward to your entries.
Bless you Difficultsoul

where to begin...
trevorjohn,
I love that line about passion too,
may I borrow it occasionally
and pass the thought on?
Df
you wrote:
"many of us have been a prisoner in our own minds.

I totally agree with you, I love every line in this post, sadly, I know someone who thought herself to death.
On a happier note...
In your post, It's as if you wrapped this box and gave it to all of us for Christmas.
And we say:
Thank you, it's just what we've always wanted!
Some of us even think outside the box, where there are so many possibilities.
I like to tell my kids that they control their thoughts with the clicker of the mind and soul. If you don't like the program, switch to a new one. If its too scarey, watch a comedy, etc. Occasionally I misplace the clicker, but I always find it, especially when my friends help.

What an enchanting comment.
You grasped all I was saying perfectly.
You already knew.
'I like to tell my kids that they control their thoughts with the clicker of the mind and soul. If you don't like the program, switch to a new one. If its too scarey, watch a comedy, etc. Occasionally I misplace the clicker, but I always find it, especially when my friends help.'
Exactly the concept I was trying to relate.
Peace.
