When you find yourself in a difficult situation, you need to stop and think. Remember, it will control you or you will control it, so take control. Harvest the good (look for the good in the situation), and forgive all the rest. Let the rest go.
Victor Frankl said, “It’s the last of all human freedoms, the ability to choose.” We can choose to look at whatever we want. We can look at what’s wrong in our life or we can look at what’s right.
Sometimes tragedy will just grab a hold of our mind and won’t let go. We have to let it go. We have to look for the good; there’s good in everything. The more you look, the more you will find. We’re only going to see what we’re in resonance or in harmony with, so if we’re thinking good thoughts and sending out good energy, then we start to see all kinds of good things, and they begin to compound.
Look for the good and forgive all the rest. If a bad thought arises, just forgive it and let it go. Of course, bad thoughts will come. You may pick them up from outside sources or they may originate from you, but when they do arise, don’t spend any time on them or give any room in your mind to them. Just release them.
Send Love and Let it Go
Having bad thoughts such as hate, anger, or resentment toward another person is comparable to you drinking rat poison and hoping the rats die. What we need is understanding. We have to understand that there’s a beautiful power flowing in our consciousness, and as that power flows in, it has no form. We give it form.
So if we choose to hold bad thoughts about someone, we must realize that we will move into a bad vibration and will attract more bad things into our lives. Instead, learn how to let these thoughts go. Simply release them and send love to the people who bother you.
Morning Practice: Releasing Negative Thoughts & Feelings
Here is something you can do to help you to release negative thoughts and feelings.
- Each morning when you wake up, sit down and think of 10 things you are grateful for and really allow yourself to feel the emotions come through.
- Then, be still and relax for four or five minutes and ask for guidance for the day. The answers will come.
- Send love to the people who bother you.
This early morning practice may be difficult at first, but with time you will master it.
