Prompt #8

This is what I have learned: Everybody has the power to control their own mind and thoughts. Not only from Richard's mouth did I learn this, but from my inborn sense that because I say something is going to be okay, it will be. However, this is not the truth. And in fact, this is rarely ever the truth, but I will pretend to primely trick my self until I embrace it, smother it and love it and then it really becomes the dead on truth. Those are the three steps to utter internal peace and control. I believe that the first step in healing is to internally prove to your self that healing is even in your future, either near or far. You must embrace how you feel and how your thoughts create damage before can gather central control of both actions and intuitions. The second is to train your mind, train it to smother your current train of thoughts until they can no longer breath..then let them go and regain your strength. The third is to love them, the new thoughts that is. Love the fact that you can shift from absence of control to mind cultivation with a single awareness and a single focus. Selecting thoughts is a gift that is only gained in time. I have not yet mastered it, nor have I even begun the process of embracing it, however, the single fact that I can even write seems I am heading in the right direction. It must be done with focus and control, and if you cannot become proficient in your thoughts, you will be in constant nuisance forever.
