What a waste of time…

What a waste of time listening to the loads of speculation in my mind. Don’t believe everything you think! The mind is a wonderful thing - it can roam free and allow you to explore any possibilities you desire. Everything you see began with a thought. First somebody thought about it and then made it happen. So yes, the mind is awesome! But, as with any freedom comes responsibility(Viktor Frankl). We must be responsible for our thoughts and what we allow to roam into our minds. So a friend or loved one upset you and you argued and you felt bad etc. Two months later, there you are, consumed in your thoughts, populating and justifying your point of view. In some cases you are trying to make sense of the situation but then you get caught up in the emotion that they invoked within you and you begin to travel down the senseless load of speculation… “you know what, that woman is just a..” It is a waste of time however. The only person you have control over and can truly understand is yourself - you only know you, and you will never be able to enter somebody else's mind to get answers and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Its easier said than done, but you must make the effort to let go of these time wasting thoughts so that you can enjoy your life in the present moment. We have one life and it is here and now. Now is the most important moment – not tomorrow, or next week at graduation or when you win the lottery one day… its now. Cause guess what, all those things will 1. Come and go 2. Occur in the present moment – life doesn’t have tivo, you can't fast forward to next week then return to now. We only have now and its beautiful - and when we are consumed with such time wasting thoughts, they rob us from now. Peace and blessings.
