You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That’s the only thing you should be trying to control.– Elizabeth Gilbert
Imagine how different your everyday experience might be if you were dirty, smelly, and looked like a total bum. Can you imagine how people would treat you? While some may be compassionate, most people would probably look down upon you, steer clear of you, reject you and perhaps even verbally attack you. Here’s the thing: we are all projecting an energetic vibration out into the world that other people are constantly picking up on and responding to. When we’re feeling down, angry, depressed or stressed out, we send out an energetic impression that people find as unattractive as a smelly derelict. Similarly, when we’re feeling upbeat, positive, kind and friendly, we send out a bright and shiny vibration that others find as appealing as a gorgeous nature scene. We all get in bad moods sometimes; fortunately, there are all sorts of spiritual tools available to help us shine bright again.
