Watch Your Thoughts..

It’s so easy to overthink or use outside distraction…

I can replace this thought with a better one

It’s only taken to near the pointy end of life to understand that

And still it’s not always easy

And might feel a bit fake

But it’s better than losing it

And letting yet another mistake

Be your focus

As within

So without

Ancient knowledge

But true nonetheless

If you simply observe

You can see it is true

If you feel chaotic

That’s how life will be

Training your mindset

Is a worthwhile goal

Everyone will benefit

If more made this a plan

It doesn’t mean you don’t give a damn

But you don’t want to care way too much either

Because that’s just another form of hiding from

What needs to be healed

So is booze, fast cars, another human …or a vat of chocolate ice cream, to name a few

Who suffers? not only you, but definitely YOU

So stop going down that slippery slope

Hold onto your mind, don’t treat life as a joke

Learn how to raise your vibe and heal your wounds

Don’t bleed all over others

Treat them well, or give them room

Although you don’t know what’s ahead

You can smooth the path by sorting out what’s in your head.
