Don’t feed the Gremlin

In the movie Gremlins, there are these cute little animals with the warning not to feed them…. Why? Because they turn into…

This is exactly what we do in our minds with our thoughts. Our mind is a POWERFUL place. Your internal world of thoughts becomes your external world. If you CHOOSE to feed the negative and self doubt, your cute little gremlin will become the scary monster. Those thoughts do not serve you. Yes the world around us can be bad, but you get to decide how you think and feel.

Think of every negative thought or doubt as a drop of water. Those drops of water add up pretty quickly until you are drowning in your own ocean. I know that sounds harsh, but it is reality.

Who do you hang around with? Do they give you energy or drain you of your energy? Do they help fill you up or tear you down? I’m not saying you can’t support your friends going through some tough time, but don’t let their tough time become your tough time.

Don’t let their tough time become your tough time.

Your world is how you make it. Choose to show up every day excited about something that day. If you focus on the positive, you will see more positive things. If you focus on the negative, you will see all the bad.

The direction you focus your life is the direction you will go. What will you choose?
