Your mind can convince you of anything.  Think about it.  How many times  do you let your mind “run away” with thoughts like, “he doesn’t like me,”  or “the world is out to get me,” or the like?  Letting your mind go off on these tangents can be a dangerous thing.

It can turn a once positive, happy, joyous person, into a cynical, angry, bitter person.  Letting your mind run away, is like a train running at high-speed without a driver!  The precipitous behind these “runaway trains” is the ego.

The ego likes to get you thinking about how bad you have it.  The ego, likes to encourage you to dwell on the past.  The ego, likes to probe you into analysis of every conversation, trying to convince you of the wrong doing of every other person.  The ego, does these things in order to place you “above” everyone else.  To give you a sense of “achievement” by lowering the behaviors of others.

When you begin to think about, say how you feel, or about what a friend or your mate said to you, you are slowly moving towards a potential “run away train phenomena.”  Have the courage to take back the “controls” and to stop the runaway thoughts running rampant in your mind.  Yes, it takes courage and strength to end these things, for satisfying the ego can be quite enjoyable.  However, it usually ends with low energy and the beginnings of depression.

When your mind starts to “play games” with you, you need to say, “stop, I am happy and staying in the current moment.”   You need to have the confidence in your self to understand that other people in fact “do” like you, and that your “mind games” are only going to see what you want to see.

When you go about your day, look around.  What do you see?  What do you really see?   You see, whatever it is you WANT to see!   You see what you believe!  You see what you expect to see!  Your world, is a manifestation of whatever it is you create within your mind!

Close your eyes.  Are you going to make a commitment to “throw away” your negative beliefs, expectations, and desires?  Make the commitment now, to do just that.  One way to begin, is to set an intention on how you would like this moment to be.  What would you LIKE to see?  Change your expectations then, to in fact see the things that you like.   Expect to see the good in people rather than the not so good, and that is all that you will see.

When you change your expectations, beliefs, and desires, you change your world.  Your world is a manifestation of the thoughts rolling around in your head.  Make those thoughts positive ones, and just see how the world around you “changes” to support those beliefs and expectations.
