Time.

We don’t have much time on this Earth, and yet some of us choose to spend what little time we have wasting away in worry and concern for what others think of us. In some cases, really what we think others think of us.

There are only 24 hours in a single day, 1440 minutes, and we have so much else we could be spending our time on, rather than wasting it with worry and negativity.

You should put your energy into positivity and happiness. I know that is easier said than done, and you are probably there shaking your head as you read this, but if you just changed one thought around from negative to positive, it could impact how your whole day goes.

I never believed the saying ” Mind Over Matter”. I’ve heard it my whole life, and just thought it was a simple cliche, until recently. I had an issue that I kept saying I couldn’t do, it wasn’t me. I kept using negative terminology whenever it came up. I began to practice changing the negative to positive, and it really helped. Whenever I caught myself thinking I couldn’t do it, I would change the words in my head to ” I can do it, I will do it, it’s gonna be done”. Sometimes I’d stand there and give myself a little pep talk. It really helped. Once I started seeing this conundrum in a more positive light, it became easier to get done.

But, I didn’t want this post to be fully about how to change to positive thinking.

The message I wanted to bring forth today was that,with the little time we have on this Earth, you don’t truly know how much time you have to spend with the people you love. You should make every moment count because you don’t know when fate is going to take that away from you. I once had someone tell me “Family is everything”, and I was young and naive at that time, I never understood his words. Today though, I take that saying to heart and know I wouldn’t be half the human being I have turned out to be, if it wasn’t for my family. I have been so fortunate.

For now this is my early Thursday Morning thoughts, I hope you all have a great day💜💜
