|| The Storyline
Once a story
Twice a belief
Three times a conviction
Four times a reaction
Sometimes, the mind gives life to the very stories we were once fed. For us, it becomes the incubator in our lives, first being fed the piece of information, to then later go on and harbour it inside of us, and grow even further, the many tales and secrets that one may hold in his hiding place.
The worse part is that the mind, by default, tends to filter all receiving information to glue oneself to the negative stories that later form part of the belief system that we carry inside of us.
Thoughts shape beliefs, which then later shape actions.
I tell you then. Discipline the mind to test every thought, and carefully decide what you keep as fact, separate and apart from fiction. For not all thoughts are good thoughts. And not even every good thought be regarded as great thoughts, lest one slip in to deceive you. Be patient with the self, first, and also be alert to the things that one chooses to listen to or even allow the eyes to see.
Guard the heart. Guard the mind.
