JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK IT...

JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK IT...

Right now our imaginations are running wild as we try to predict what will happen in the near future.
Some people are coming up with all sorts of bad and good stories as to how things will pan out.
We’re doing this because we’ve never been through anything like this before. It’s our lack of experience of the situation that causes us to fear what might be around the corner.
However, our lack of experience is also what will allow us to calm down.

No, your mind isn’t trying to freak you out and create unnecessary anxiety.
Your mind isn’t trying to destroy you, and it isn’t lying to you... it just gets things wrong ALL THE TIME!
The very fact that we have no idea what will happen is the exact reason why we can stop worrying about trying to predict the future.
We know we can’t do that.
We know that whatever we come up with will most likely be wrong.
The simple truth is that just because we think it… doesn’t make it true.
The only thing we can say with absolute certainty is that any energy we spend trying to predict the future is energy wasted. It’s energy that would be better spent looking after the things we CAN control and take action on.
And you know, all of those things have nothing to do with the world around us and they have nothing to do with what other people are doing.
What they REALLY have to do with is our own actions and our own responses. There's the reality.
Your mind is capable of coming up with some truly amazing imaginings.
The good news is that imagination and reality are two different things!
Just because you think it, doesn’t make it true.
