Lesson 4 – these thoughts don’t mean a thing

Quote from the text that lit up as I read it, spoke to me in some way, then my learning from the lesson, to share with you to lighten your day and inspire your life.

Text: ‘Good’ thoughts and ‘bad’ thoughts, none of them represents your real thoughts, which are being covered up by them. The ‘good’ ones are but shadows of what lies beyond and the ‘bad’ ones are blocks to sight and make seeing impossible, you do not want either.

Learning: Fascinating to me the concept of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ thoughts. That I don’t want either that they are not my real thoughts. Getting my 3.5 year old to bed when she refused and this ended up taking me 2 hours of the evening is almost the equilvalent to herding sheep when your cattle dog has the night off, it produced a few ‘bad’ thoughts. In this particular circumstance it was interesting to use the exercise today. It was a classic opportunity to practice the art of remembering “this thought about wanting to escape to a tropical island by myself does not mean anything. It is like the things I see in this room. Finally she fell asleep, like the effort it would take for the sheep were herded and asleep for the night.

With relief,
