Shed Negative Thoughts

Sometimes we're tempted to see others in a negative light. We think of them as lazy, selfish, overweight, too skinny, too talkative or too quiet. As soon as you have a thought like this strike it from your mind immediately. Thoughts like these can bring nothing but bad results into your life. You are what you think. Remember the old saying, "if you can't say tomething nice about someone, don't say anything." Here's an extension of that rule. "If you can't think something nice about someone don't think anything at all." Often I hear people discussing their latest illness or surgery as if it's an old friend. Resist the temptation to talk about sickness. Hold in your mind thoughts of good health and don't fall victim to talk of "flu season" or some newly titled disease for which a new drug has just been approved.
