“Your mind will take the shape of what you frequently hold in thought, for the human spirit is colored by such impressions.” – Marcus Aurelius.
Do you think this quote by the Stoic philosopher is true or not? Is our mind just like water? Does our mind take the shape of whatever fills it? Or are our thoughts just fluid and change as we go along our merry way đ¤? Interesting concept.
Your thoughts shape your mind and that can affect and sometimes will affect your behavior. True or false? If all you think is negative then will you not behave in such a manner. On the other hand if your thoughts are positive wonât you behave in a similar manner. Itâs not about only thinking happy thoughts but keeping yourself in that zen mode. I find when I do that it makes me feel better and stronger, no matter the adversity or whatâs happening in my life. What I noticed and I donât know if this has happened to you is that your mood gets dark. I canât and wonât allow that. My state of mind is too precious to allow that. This is how I have always felt and with Rona and what has happened to us all in the past year I have to ensure I keep my head up.
My mother would say always remember that no matter your circumstances you are a child of God and made in his image. I have to keep that in mind. At the end of the day itâs about me and how I keep myself safe. If I donât then how will I be able to look after my family? How will I function as a member of the society? No one can decide how you feel but you. They will try to take you down but you have to be strong and hold your head up. As is said, donât take it personally. Just be like the duck and have it roll of your back. Itâs not the easiest think to do to get a thick skin but âŚ. If you donât realize that itâs not about you, but them then you think life and the world revolves around you. Iâm here to tell you it doesnât. Imagine that our thoughts determine our behavior. You know how we think becomes habit. Habits can make or break us.
As Jim Rhon said âStand Guard At The Door Of Your Mind”.
