Your Mind is a Garden
January 15, 2009
Have you ever noticed on a single street there are many houses with front yards where some are very beautiful while others are rampaged by weeds? Why is it some front yards are so beautifully filled with flowers of all sorts of vibrant colors, while others is just a total mess? the difference is that the owner of the beautiful yard provides it with consistent and tender care, while the other ugly yards are neglected.
This is exactly how our mind works. some spent time daily to pray and repeat their dreams and goals in an attempt to fill their minds with positive and inspiring thoughts while others go though their day mindlessly. Our Mind is a strange thing. If we just let it be, all the thoughts going into it will be negative. If you dont believe it just reflect your past experience to see how your mind has been working.
Our behavior and actions are a direct reflection of our emotions. If we manage our emotion make sure what in our minds are postive and beautiful the actions that we take will be positive. Whereas if we are managed by our emotion our lives would be like a roller coaster because we act accourting to how we feel. We are reacting to our emotions instead of taking logical actions.
So, manage your emotion, instead of being managed by your emotion.
