One must first learn self-forgiveness and self-love before they can apply it to others. This is a very well written, thought-provoking post.

I found this most interesting, Dossie.
and it's rings with truth.

I've often convinced myself I'm well when
I've been ill - mind over matter - and have
overcome the dragged down feeling. there's
always someone far worse off than ourselves.

And as for negative thoughts or dwelling on
some upset in the past, which can pull you
down, have learned to forgive and move on
with my life. Dwelling on such traumas in
life can only hurt yourself.

thanks for sharing this, my friend - some great advice.


Margaret

Thanks for sharing Scripture and Proverbs.
There is always a huge need for the WORD.
If more people could just hear the word and take the message into their hearts, the world would be a better place.
I appreciate you sharing this writing with me and FS.

I like the effectiveness of your opening simile
Have you ever awaken thinking - awakened or awoken
they are no longer victims by taking control of THEIR lives
Your essay is well organized and contains clear, thoughtful and useful advice

This is a wonderful lesson to human race. We all tend to entertain negative thoughts. Learning to control one's thoughts is an exercise which needs personal willingness. Many people have classified themselves as failures in life. They speak failure of themselves and harvest just that-failure. Thank you for sharing this important lesson.

Hello my dear Dossie,

Proverbs 18:21 is one of my favourites - I quote it at least once a day ... especially to my kids!

A great, informative, uplifting write. If we all followed theses guidelines, the psychs would be out of job, wouldn't they?

Lots of love,

I've learned the same things through my metaphysical readings and a course I took a long time ago called Mind Control. Our teacher likened our thoughts to a computer and every time a negative thought crossed our mind, say "Cancel, cancel." A worthy post and it's always nice to be reminded.

This is a most enjoyable article to read. I agree with it, and perhaps it was good for me to read it and think about it. I've been having some of those slimy battles recently, but this helped to encourage me. Thank you, Dossie. Regretfully, I am already out of 6 stars.
I spotted one typo, and it is to do with the spacing around the hyphen:
positive- overcoming life.

I love reading your thoughts on our mental attitude! I'm lucky enough not to be on any kind of medication, but as I approach my sixtieth, I can't help noticing that most of my pals are. My mum was not only an alcoholic, but a serious pill-popper as well. 'I'm not well' was the thing she said most often, and as a result, I dread the day that I have to take any kind of medication. Just the kind of great advice I needed on a cold February day. Thank you!
