I love this saying. It's like a cake. A delicious cake. With many tiers. My tears. The tears of a clown... a big fat clown. A big fat clown eating cake... Wait... Let me start again....
I love this saying because it perfectly sums up the power of "Positive Thinking". And as you can see from my first try, it doesn't take much for negative thinking to develop in your head. When you get down to it, great sayings like that are the fundamentals of the inner dialogue. Sure, technically a monologue is one person talking, but when we're talking to ourselves, doesn't it feel more like a conversation? I think so! And whether that conversation is negative or positive, that inner dialogue has the power to create clear skies or foggy forecasts as you move towards any challenge. And there's no one who loves dark clouds more than...
"Hello, I am your Negative Ninja" |
I know from personal experience that once those Negativity Ninjas creep into our brains, they can quickly manifest in our personalities and wreak havoc on our lives! When that happens, pretty soon there seems like there's only one option left: Grab the Ben & Jerry's, Crack open your finest Box of Wine, & Search Netflix for the next compelling TV Show to ingest in three days. When you look at it like that, Negativity Ninjas sure sound like a good excuse for giving up, but that's all they are in the end: excuses. And on top of that, they're not even real! There are no Negativity Ninjas creeping through Foggy London Town! In fact, London is almost never foggy! Seriously. Look it up.
Still, even if they aren't real, enemies of the mind certainly feel real, don't they? Well, lucky for me "Inception" was on the other night and it reminded me of something important: Don't let someone else touch your totem or you won't be able to tell the difference between the dream world and reality. Good to know. But this lesson is probably more relevant:
Eye Sight is what we think we see.
Mind Sight is what we think about what we see.
"I am Totem-ly confused right now..." |
