We Are What We Choose To Be I was in the grocery store the other day and there was a woman at the check out stand beside mine. She wore dirty clothes, needed her hair washed and had a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. All of a sudden she turned in my direction and I saw her face.
I almost started to cry. Her face was the most frightful face I have ever seen. Years of bitterness and resentment were written there; years of anger and hurt, years of being unloved and uncared for.
And, out of her mouth were words of anger as she spoke to her small child. She must have been in her thirties, but she looked like she was over fifty. The hatred had done its job. The bitterness had robbed this woman of her youth.
She chose what she was going to be.
Attitude has a powerful impact on our physical bodies. The thoughts we have held and the words we have used have created the person we are right now. So, it only stands to reason, if we change our thoughts and words, we can be transformed into an entirely different person. (And, some of us need some transformation : )
It doesn't matter how long we have held on to anger, lack of forgiveness, self-hatred, pity, resentment, ungratefulness, etc., etc. We can change our thought patterns.
We are what we choose to be.
When someone hurts us, we react and we don't forgive.
We hold on the hurt. Poor me... nobody really understands.
Nobody really cares.
We are choosing what we are to become.
I have a friend (she is 35 years old) who's mother died of breast cancer. My friend constantly worried and fretted about developing the disease herself.
She went in for check-ups twice a year... sometimes more. She constantly talked about it. Was always reading up on it. What causes it? What cures it?
I finally told her, "You are going to get this disease for no other reason than your obsession with it."
This friend was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago.
We go where our thoughts take us.
I remember one client who had been on thyroid medication for almost 20 years. She was a willing converter... something I don't see a lot of : )
She changed her diet completely, exercised everyday, spent time each afternoon receiving the healing benefits of sunshine. She juiced, she supplemented.... she did everything right as far as diet and lifestyle change. Did it help? No.
Finally I had a talk with her about the emotions behind thyroid problems - long standing anger. Her response was, "How did you know?"
This client was carrying around 20 years worth of anger and bitterness towards her deceased mother. She had been abused as a child and never felt love from the woman who gave her birth.
When she realized this, she could begin steps towards forgiving. Her mother wasn't being hurt by her emotions, she was. As she forgave, the healing began.
We are what we choose to be.
Choose to be happy. Choose not to let the cares of this world bring us down. Choose to do something nice for someone today. Tell your child how special he is. Tell him to live his dreams, accomplish his goals. Thank God everyday for your many blessings!
Don't live a life of negatives when you can enjoy a life of positives. Always see the glass half full, not empty. And, remember, "We are what we choose to be".
