“Notice When Your Thoughts Argue With Reality”
Byron Katie
I know as I approach working full time, my head has to be on board; my thoughts have to agree with where I am.
If I am riding around in the mail car, ‘wishing’ I were at home, it will be hellish working. My attitude at work will be affected by how I am thinking, and my demeanor will reflect my thoughts.
Tossing mail will not make me suffer, but the thought that I should not be tossing mail while I am tossing mail, will.
It is amazing it is never where you are that makes you suffer, but ‘thinking’ you shouldn’t be there that does.
Accepting where you are at all times seems like a no brainer, but Notice When Your Thoughts Argue With Reality.
Notice how many times a day you say, ‘I should be…, this shouldn’t be, I wish it didn’t, I don’t want….
Those little phrases are the doorway to hell or illusion.
Each time something happens and your first thought is, ‘it shouldn’t be, you are attaching to a thought that is arguing with reality.
“It shouldn’t be is a thought…it is a ticket out of what is. It is hailing you to come on board, to leave the scene of what is, to walk away, to escape into the land of pretend.
