Do you know who can be your worst enemy in life? It’s not your ex-best friend, ex-boss, ex-lover, or the person you pulled a bad prank on. It’s you.
It’s no brainer and it’s clearly obvious that all of our actions, all the things we do, start out as thoughts first. And where do our thoughts come from? Our mind.
Our mind controls us and this is basically the reason why we always need to grow good and positive thinking in our heads, because one negative thought can ruin our day and probably even our lives.
Case In Point
Think of a past moment when you got angry at someone and after a few minutes you regretted it. Where do you think it all started? In your head, right?
If you have only thought to yourself to be more patient and ignore the bad thought, you would have saved all the trouble and bad times.
Now go back to a moment when you felt so nervous or worried, and were the only person there to give yourself some pep talk. After you have talked to yourself, you felt good, correct?
This just shows that good thoughts can be your best friend and bad thoughts can be your worst enemy. You only have to choose with which thoughts to stick more. Your mind can control that.
