The Thought Trap

One powerful mind-hacking secret for surviving life is:

Don’t Believe Every Thought You Think

Your mind produces thousands of thoughts every day, some helpful, some fearful, some simply untrue. When you learn to pause and ask, “Is this a fact, or just a thought?” you create space between yourself and your worries …

Many difficult moments become more manageable when you stop treating every thought as reality …

A simple reminder:
“Thoughts are visitors. I can listen to them without letting them run my life.”

Bravery

Climb the hill
Then jump across the small gap
Bravery feels free …

Pondering

In puzzled ponder, a name I’ve heard
Though “Roksana” my soul preferred …
Yet as time passed by
A fondness did arise
Love’s influence moves my heart …
Let the name be my tender song
In love’s embrace, I truly belong …

Quiet Contemplation

Your absence has gone through me, like thread through a needle.

Everything I do is stitched with its color.”

My longing, a relentless tide
Your absence, a void deep inside ….
Am I flawed, or loved?
