Human beings, we view the world as if through a big picture window.\u00a0A window with vast vistas, fascinating possibilities, we see the world, all we are consciously aware of.\u00a0And then there are a few spots on the window.\u00a0These spots are traumas from our past and they have become\u00a0dark spots on our window into consciousness.\u00a0For some people the \"flower_nov_17\"<\/a>spots become their focus.\u00a0A beautiful nearly infinite vista of life existing out that window, and all they see are the spots.\u00a0This is the way it is for most of us.\u00a0Do we give it our all throughout the day, only to lament our lack of perfection as we prepare for sleep? I do sometimes. We tend to focus on the spots.<\/p>\n

The spots are negative memories, self-criticism, guilt and other such emotions.\u00a0How do spots consume us?\u00a0Why don’t we look past the negative memories and other issues?\u00a0How does focusing on these memories affect our lives?<\/p>\n

Perhaps the words of Tyron Edwards in the 1800’s explain how we are affected.\u00a0He wrote:<\/p>\n

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.\u00a0<\/span>
\nWatch your words, for they become actions.\u00a0<\/span>
\nWatch your actions, for they become habits.\u00a0<\/span>
\nWatch\u00a0your habits, for they become character.\u00a0<\/span>
\nWatch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
