You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. – James Allen

That’s kind of a scary thought.  I will be tomorrow where my thoughts take me.  So if I’m having a really bad day, and I’m having all sorts of crush, kill, destroy type of thoughts does that mean that tomorrow I’m going to go on a rampage?  No, I don’t think so.  I think that if you continually keep having negative thoughts (the crush, kill, destroy thoughts) you will turn into a negative person.

So does it mean you can’t have negative thoughts?  Again I’m going to go with no.  If you can figure out a way to not have a negative thought again please let me know how you’re doing it.  To my way of thinking, we’re human beings. We have these emotions, both positive and negative for a reason, and trying to shut one of them off probably isn’t a good thing.

When you have those negative thoughts – go with them for a second, and examine where they’re coming from and why you’re having them, and then, try and find something positive within those negative thoughts.  For example, I was at the grocery store and it was crowded.  You would have thought the world was ending and everybody was trying to stock up on supplies before it did.  I was stuck in a crowd of people as we slowly made our way up one aisle and down the next.  To say I was frustrated was an understatement, but then, I bumped into a friend I hadn’t seen in quite a while.  We had the opportunity to chat for a few minutes and then, continue our conversation as we chatted for a while.  I took the negative of the crowded store and found a positive – visiting with a friend.
