How’s your car running?
Imagine with me for a moment that before you start your car or truck each morning to go to work or school or wherever else you’re going that you put six grains of sand in your gas tank. That’s right, six grains of sand in your gas tank.
Okay, it’s only six grains of sand, but if you do it every morning, how long do you think it’ll take before your vehicle won’t run? Soon, right? That great engine would be a mess, unable to do what it was designed to do.
Negative, unpleasant thoughts dropped into your mind affect you in the same way. They break down your mental motor. You’re broken down by worry, frustration, and feelings like you don’t matter to anyone. Pretty soon, you’re broken down beside life’s highway and you can’t go on.
The next time you’re worried, frustrated, or imagine you don’t matter to anyone, drop your negativity like a handful of sand. Instead, put this positive thought in its place; say to yourself, “I am the only me there is on earth so I choose to be the best me I can be.”
Then listen to your life so you can make a positive life, not just a living.
