I was in the grocery
store the other day and there was a woman at the check out stand beside
mine. she wore dirty clothes, needed her hair washed and had a cigarette
hanging out of her mouth. All of a sudden she turned in my direction
and I saw her face. I almost started to cry. Her face was the
most frightful face I have ever seen.
Years of bitterness
and resentment were written there; years of anger and hurt, years of being
unloved and cared for. And out of her mouth were words of anger as
she spoke to her small child. She must have been in her thirties,
but she looked like she was over fifty. The hatred had done its job.
The bitterness had robbed this woman of her youth.
She chose what she
was going to be.
Attitude has a powerful
impact on our physical bodies. The thoughts
we have held and the words we have used have
created the person we are right now. So it only stands to reason, if we change our thoughts
and
words, we can be transformed into an entirely different person. (And, some of us need some
transformation :-).
etc., we can change
our thought patterns.
We are what we choose to be.
When someone hurts
us, we react and we don't forgive. We hold on to the hurt.
Poor me...nobody really
understands...nobody
really cares.
We are choosing
what we are to become
I remember one client
who had been on thyroid medication for almost 20 years. She was a
willing
converter...something
I don't see a lot of :-).
She changed her
diet completely, exercised every day, spent time each afternoon receiving
the healing benefits
of sunshine.
She juiced, she supplemented...she did everything right as far as diet
and lifestyle change. Did it
help? No.
Finally I had a talk with her about the emotions behind thyroid problems
- long standing anger. Her
response was, "How
did you know?"
The client was carrying
around 20 years worth of anger and bitterness toward her deceased mother.
She had been
abused as a child
and never felt love from the woman who had given her birth. When she
realized this, she could
begin steps towards
forgiving. Her mother wasn't being hurt by her emotions, she was.
As she forgave, the healing
began.
We are what we choose
to be.
Choose to be
happy. Choose not to let the cares of this world bring us down.
Choose to do something nice for
someone today.
Tell your child how special he is. Tell him to live his dreams, accomplish
his goals. Thank God
everyday for your
many blessings!
Don't live a life
of negatives when you can enjoy a life of positives. Always see the
glass half full, not empty.
And, remember:
"WE ARE WHAT WE CHOOSE TO BE."
