Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life

One of the best analogies that I have read suggests that we look at thoughts like they were a banquet lined up with the most delicious assortments of good food. At this banquet it is within your power to pick and choose whatever delicious morsels that you desire.

Many of the entrees are packed full of nutrition that will help your body and mind to be healthy and satisfied for a full life. Some of the dishes are beautifully adorned with and immediately draw our attention because they are delightful to the eye and oh so good to the taste buds. However, inside these treats there rages a silent killer , that although will fill you with creamy, sugary ,buttery delight, in the long run they will clog your arteries,sap your energy, and yes, eventually kill you.

It is your choice to get nutrients or the sugar high, and in a few hours, you will need more negative sugar to make you feel good again.

We have the same choices with our thoughts. We can choose the immediate satisfaction of the sugar, or we can choose positive, enhancing thoughts that will keep us happy, functioning, and free from clogging our thought arteries.

Change your thoughts ,change your life. The choice always has been ours.

Who am I?

While commenting on Go Figure's last post, I saw something that really caught my attention, and now, my mind is taking off like it goes when one is sitting here typing at 5 AM, with an oxygen hose resting on my lip, and maybe I am getting too much oxygen now, and my brain is getting fried.

Anyway, I am getting off of the subject.While commenting on GF's page the words were "choose an identity"
Wow, like, heavy , man. Like no one has ever let me choose my own identity before. We go though life telling everyone that this and this is who we are. But, the sad truth remains , that you are only the social product of the five agents of socialization. Hey, I studied sociology years ago in college, and I can still name the five agents of socialization. No use letting those thousands and thousands of dollars spent on tuition go to waste. I remember very little else out of all those soc. courses, but those I remember.

Back to the today. Today, I get to choose an identity, because GF's blog page said that I could.
Wow, who can I be today? Maybe I could be a playboy, or a millionaire, or a baseball star, or a teacher, or a ----you know what.? At my age, I think that I will settle for being me. I choose my own identity. I think that I have earned it.
