We are what we think; as we desire so do we become! By our thoughts, desires, and habits, we either ascend to the full divine dignity of our nature, or we descend to suffer and learn.
– J. Todd FerrierIt used to be you are what you eat, right? Well that’s still pretty true too.
I wanted to share this powerful quote, because it was a needed reminder to me to choose my thoughts carefully.
Last week I had a challenging experience, probably one of the tougher ones I’ve had to face. And it’s been dominating my thoughts for days.
Then I read this quote popped into my in-box and I decided to focus on what I wanted to be this week. And I can assure you it wasn’t someone who was stressed and losing sleep!
If I am what I think and if that shapes who I will BE…then what do I want to be this week:
- A supportive friend who listens
- An instructor who teaches four awesome classes this week
- A volunteer at the Soup Kitchen donating time & lots of energy
- A manager who gives positive feedback to the people around me
- A person who is healing (and thus getting a massage this week for those stubborn injuries!)
- A great date for my hubby to Tressa’s wedding (including not forcing him to dance — too much)
