Thoughts by Ralph Marston

That power is God Within, that force is Spirit.

"Thoughts"

Your thoughts are what
frighten you.
Choose to change them,
and the fear is gone.
Your thoughts are what cause you to be
frustrated,
angry,
disappointed,
impatient
and
uncomfortable.
And your thoughts can also take you far away
from all those things.


For your thoughts can transform
anger into forgiveness,
disappointment into determination,
discomfort into inspiration,
and fear into love.
The choice is always yours.


The world is what it is.
Yet your thoughts determine...
how you situate yourself
into the world.


By controlling your thoughts
you control the kind of world in which you live.
At the times when you realize it,
and at the times when you don't,
you are always controlling your thoughts.


Deep inside you are a beautiful,
unique person
who seeks true joy and fulfillment.
Let your thoughts resonate
with the genuine person you are,
and that joy does surely come.
-- Ralph Marston
