Preface of my brain (?!)

These things are affecting you because you are choosing to let it. Yes, ignorant statement. Awful things can be going on in your life that are so out of your realm of control, however; if thats the case, why don’t we control what we can? Our mindset. Our mind is seriously one of the dopest tools we’re given, so why not utilize it? Seriously. This shit is crazy complex. Scientifically, I know absolutely nothing about how our brains works or the chemistry of whatever is going on up there. What I do know is how I think, and just how strong my simple thoughts are and the effect they then have on my life.

Where you direct your energy, how you direct your energy, and the people you share your energy with are all crucial in feeding your soul. This isn’t an easy thing to do. Half the time you have to completely soul search and find what it is that makes you genuinely happy- the happiness you feel in your soul that is difficult to put into words. People? Music? Hobbies? Structure? Values? Completely different aspects of life have different weight for everyone, which is what makes everyone so unique. This is what makes life so fucking cool, every single person is experiencing a completely different journey, but yet you still get to be a part of theirs and they’re still a part of yours- even when we have different purposes for each other. (Crazy thought that I haven’t fully wrapped my head around yet).

I don’t think we realize how much control we have over our life simply by choosing where and how to direct our thoughts. Simple things, annoying glass half full things, create the world of difference. Even if they have absolutely no weight in the beginning, this mindset becomes natural, and you can’t help but to find yourself looking at most things with the lightest heart. Living lightly becomes addicting. I’m not saying become Ghandi, but I am saying look at things in a positive light. Life is short. Why spend any of it unhappy when you have control to change it?

Start each day with a grateful heart!!!
