Master your mind

“When we don’t master our minds, we risk building our lives on a foundation of flimsiness.” Jen Sincero. How fucking true this statement is. Spiraling out, negative patterns, awful thoughts, these things wreak havoc on us all. Think about it when you are a kid you are taught that 1+1=3, and all you know is that as your truth. Then someone comes up to you and says hey it’s actually 2 bro. It rattles you and gets you mad because no damnit it’s 3. But then more and more evidence comes up that it is in fact 2. You have to adapt to this new truth and re-adjust your thinking, but still that 3 keeps popping up because that was your first truth  about 1+1. 

The point I am trying to make is we as kids take in all these truths about what’s right, what’s not. Who we are, what we should be, and so on. Those first truths are just like that number 3. They are other people’s opinions. As we grow and mature and go through this self discovery we start learning the truth that we are in fact that 2. Yet there is still this resistance that makes you want to believe  that limited belief. 

Catching a thought and being aware of it is where to start. You have to recognize yourself and what it is you are trying to change. How does it serve you, and how does it keep you limited? For me I tend to start flying high in the things I want, but then I start to settle. I allow myself to slink back down to the place I’m trying to break free from. I know the things I want, why the fuck am I backing down damnit? Same goes for you, why are you staying limited in what you know? Why not go for the gold and see where you land. When you reach for the stars the universe will support the madness. That’s what the magic is!!
