Expand or Contract?

“The most basic choice we have in life is whether to expand or contract, whether to bring our creative and expressive energies out into the world in positive or negative ways. No matter what our circumstances, we have the power to choose our directions. “ (The Life You Were Born to Live by Dan Millman)

“In each of us are heroes; speak to them and they will come forth.” -Anonymous

It’s like with the two wolves – which one will you feed? Will you speak to the hero in yourself and inspire him/her to emerge, to come forth, to create what you were born to do?

Enjoy the day you’ve created for yourself!

Who is in control? You or your thoughts?

When you refuse to take things personally, you avoid many upsets in your life. Your feelings of anger, jealousy – and even your sadness – will simply disappear if you don’t take things personally.” -don Miguel Ruiz

I’ve been watching my thoughts and how much I control them – or don’t control them! It’s my thoughts that get me into taking things personally. If I choose my thoughts, then I can also choose whether to take it personally or not.
