Hey, I back. Oh yes, I'm back with something for you to think about. Those of you who have listened to me, I appreciate you. If it's your first time, I appreciate you as well. Everything I do, everything I say, everything I write is to inspire, motivate, educate, influence. Nothing but goodness. That's it. It is the hope that people truly take a look at self, do a self assessment, and make a decision to change, because no one on the face of the earth
have to live an unhappy life. It is by choice. I don't care what you've been through. It is by choice. It is by choice. That's why it is imperative, imperative that you be aware of your negative thoughts, because your negative thoughts can cause you complete self destruction. So many people in the world live every single day holding on to negativity. The more you hold on to negativity, you have the negative thoughts. And the more you
hold on to the negative thoughts, they grow inside of you. They absolutely grow inside of you. They intensify in your mind, and they cause you to feel a certain way. When you have all that negativity inside of you, you cannot do anything other than have bad feelings and emotions behind those negative thoughts. I've told you for years how people do not understand that they give
power to their negative thoughts. When you give power to your negative thoughts, then you're at that point in your life where you can end up fall and pray to your own way of thinking. It leads you down a road of darkness. I know, not that I've experienced it for myself, thats who I am, but I've experienced it through someone that's very, very close to me. And I've told you I may talk about that one day, but
I just can't right now. And it's not all about that person. But I've seen it so many times with so many different people, people from all walks of life. That's why I tell you that you can smile. It does not mean you're happy. Sometimes you got to smile to keep from crying. But when you go through life just holding on to negativity, it leads you down the road you don't have to go. You don't have to travel, you don't have to go down that negative road. People do it by
choice. And one thing I've learned through this experience of this person that I'm talking about or mentioned, everything isn't about childhood trauma. Sometimes people just bring things on themselves because of their wrong ways of thinking. They go through life develop their own negative ways of thinking, and all of that negativity sooner a letter would drive you to madness. I've also told you most people in the world, and I will say most most people in the world have caused their
own mental illness somehow. It's because of lifestyle choices. Whether you grew up in trauma or whether that trauma occurred as an adult, you always have a way that you can choose to deal with things. Most people don't cope with it. You cannot heal from something if you don't deal with it, you can't. So many people hide behind their past pains, or they hide behind that pain that they developed by their wrong ways of thinking. People literally think,
and I know because I have relatives this way. Young relatives, because they are adults, they can do anything they want, they can say anything, they can act any way that they want towards their parents or towards adults that's way older than them. But they think they have that right of passage, and they go down these roads that they don't have to travel because of their own negattive ways of thinking, and they can lead people down dark roads
of destruction. It really can. That's why I tell you you must be aware of your negative thoughts. You must be aware of what you're thinking. Period. You must have been aware. We all get crazy thoughts. Sometimes. I'm not saying thoughts of suicide. I'm not saying thoughts of murder or
nothing like that. But sometimes we get negative thoughts in our heads. And for me, the first thing I do is laugh because it's so ludle, because you be minding your own business and this dumb thought of popping your head. I don't entertain that mess. I'm like devil. You're trying me any way you can, but it won't work. It will not work. I'm not gonna entertain negative thoughts, and I move on. I don't let it linger. I don't allow it to keep coming back to me, but so
many people do because of their hearts in their minds. When your heart in your mind has not developed to be mature ways of thinking and feeling and acting, when you have not developed into that person, when you have not yet dealt with the mindset that you have, it can lead you down a road that you didn't have to travel. It really, really can so many people in this world. They're hiding behind who they really are. How can you
ever get better? Be hiding behind who you really are? You're hiding behind that person who needs healing. How can you get better if you are hiding behind that person who needs healing? You never will. And all you do is go through life compiling more and more and more upon yourself. And some people get to a point of breakdown because you've gone through so much, You've added so much of other people's issues upon yours. You are already a negative
person. Now you have adopted someone else's negativity as well. And for a lot of people, it leads them down a road to mental illness. It leads them down a road of self destruction because along the way, a lot of people pick up, you know, similar or like minded individuals into their lives. And it don't make this situation better because a person who thinks like you, they're not gonna tell you what you need to hear. They're gonna tell you what you want to hear. And that's never good. It is
absolutely never good. That's why you, you as the individual, must be aware and mindful of what you're allowing to come into your mind. Some of you have so much pent up pain from many years ago, from childhood. You chose to stay on the same road when you could have went another way. Now you're adults with the same pent up pain, and you're going through life hiding behind that pain, and you're miserable. Many of you you don't like yourselves. It bothers you to the utmost to be by yourself. Some
of you refuse to be by yourself. That's why you always in a relationship, a messed up relationship. On top of that, that's why some of you always have people around you, but you know for yourself that you may have people around you, but you're still feeling the way you have always felt. Lonely, sad, depressed, anxious, all kind of things. That's showing you that you can be around a group of people and still lonely, still sad, because you haven't changed. That inner man, that inner woman
has not changed. So you take all of this negativity because everywhere you go, you are with yourself. You cannot separate yourself from who you are. I've always said the person that is lord the most, that one individual people ignored the most is self. You try to fix, save change everyone else, especially those they those you choose to love, I mean intimately, but you can't do it for yourself. So many people are chasing after all types
of things and people, but they don't have their own lives together. It's terrible. Then you have in the midst of those people, you have those individuals who are negative every day. Don't get me wrong. Not every negative person has the type of negativity that leads to some type of detrimental destruction like murder or suicide or homicide. But it still leads to some form of destruction because if it affects your mind, if it affects your heart, it's still
destruction. Some people are so negative and they don't even realize their negative. People around them see it, but they don't see it. And they're so negative until they have developed mental illness, but they don't even know it. They don't realize it that they've developed phobias and fears and all of that stuff out of their negativity. So it's still a form of destruction, self destruction, self inflicted. But people don't realize it. They really don't because they're
not feeling suicide on home, sidle or things like that. They think they're okay, but they're far from okay. There are many levels to this thing, but it all leads to self destruction because of the negative thoughts that people have. So many people in this world hold on to everything, every single negative thing they've gone through. They hold on to it, and they'll bring it up fifteen years later. Well, you remember when you did this,
You're supposed to be over that. You talked about it, They ask for forgiveness, all types of good things. But then you bring it up fifteen years later, still hopping on the same thing. And the first thing that people will say is, oh, I'm not holding rudgis I'm not mad about it? Yes you are. If you're still talking about it, you're still holding some type of feelings about it. People don't understand they are their own
worst enemy. You're your own worst enemy. And what's really really disheartening and sad about it all is most people don't do anything about it. They continue to go through life the same way, self sabotaging, self destruction, self inflicting that they don't see it. And you have all of these negative thoughts in your head, and for some people it does lead down that road of
destruction to murder, suicide, homicide. There are so many scenarios I could talk about, like people who you know you're thinking negative, you know it, but you keep feeding it. Like people who do things like sell documentation to foreign countries, you know, sell information to foreign countries. You know you've been thinking about that, You've been thinking about it, and you've been thinking about it, and you finally act on it because you did nothing to
stop those negative thoughts. For whatever reason, money, position power, whatever the reason may be, you still chose to do it. Or individuals, which the reason that I heard was a lieutenant colonel, lieutenant colonel who thought he was contacting a young child and want to meet that child. But it was a stem, which was great, it was a stem that caught him. But you knew what you were doing. You knew that's what you were
thinking. And it's more than likely wasn't the first time. But see, instead of people healing from their pain that caused them the mindset that they have to do the things that they do, they just keep going through life because they've gotten away with certain things, and instead of healing themselves, they keep doing things because they're getting some type of self gratification from it even though they
know it's wrong. You were thinking those negative thoughts to pursue a child when you know it was wrong, so you kept giving power to it, and then you was having these feelings and emotions behind those things. He got caught. But many, many people do it, many many, many people of
high caliber and no caliber. It don't discriminate, there's no discrimination. People of all walks of life do it because they have not healed from that inner pain that caused the mindset that they have right now, and it led to destruction. It leads to destruction. Ultimately, people are succumbing to this negativity, absolutely succumbing to this negativity, going through life the very same way. When there's always a choice to change, always every single day that you live.
It's a chance to change, it's a chance to get it right, it's a chance to become better. But most people don't take it because they're so comfortable being the way they've always been. They are so comfortable even though it's causing them problems, it's causing them issues. They are so comfortable in that mess. They're so comfortable in that negativity that they are not willing to change. No one has to go through life this way, you have people
who murder like murder is eating candy. It's nothing to them. Because people don't they don't think. They just act and react. They don't think it through to the consequences because they have a negative mindset. And I do know that some people do stuff. It's like it appears that it was just random, But I don't believe in that. I don't believe in that. Now I can understand, like reflexes, if someone done something, your reflex was to just boom, you know, But for the most part, I don't
believe in random. People are random because most have anger issues that they have not dealt with. So it all leads to that inner man, that inner woman, everything everything, And when you don't hear yourself, you're gonna continue to go through life with that negativity that's causing you. Issues, issues in your relationship, issues as parents, issues in your careers, just issues everywhere
you go. Because you take you everywhere you go, you and all of your unresolved, and for many it has led to destruction, led to destruction. Some people think they're getting away, but let me tell you something. Just because you're getting by it does not mean you're gonna get away. The Bible tells us everything comes to the light one way or another. Anyone can change if they choose change, but most people won't because they worried too much
about other people. They're worried too much about fame, riches, things, the word, about everything else. But getting self to a better mindset. That negative way of thinking will lead you down a road you didn't have to travel. And that's all I'm gonna say on it. I'm leaving it right there. I think I've said enough for you to understand. If you have any questions, please reach out to me. I will be more than happy to answer your questions. You don't have to hold on to that old pain,
you don't have to hold on to that negativity. You can take control of those negative thoughts. I can say that you will stop negative thoughts from coming period altogether. I'm not saying that, but I'm talking about those negative thoughts that you ponder over, those negative thoughts that you allow to go through your brain every day, all day. Those negative thoughts, those are the ones I'm talking about, the ones you give power to, the ones you're
focused on, the ones you can't stop thinking about. Those are the ones that can lead down a road of destruction. Those are the ones I'm talking about. When you know you're having negative thoughts, that's when you do something. Talk yourself off the ledge, go to someone, seek help, anything, but don't succome. Only you can change you. This subject is very dear to me because I know too many people who have went down that road
of destruction when they didn't have to. No one has to, but as I said, many have, many will because people too comfortable in their negativity. Only you can change you, but you have to want to. You have to be aware of your negative thinking, and you have to be willing to do something. Own the negativity, own it. Owing. That is doing something only, That is being aware only, that is being mindful. When you do that, you change the direction of that negative thought. When
you do that, you no longer give power to that negative thought. You take ownership. This is negative, This is wrong. I can't think like this. That's how you handle those negative thoughts. So you deguide them. You don't give power to them. You have to deny them, and the more you do, they will go away. Whatever you give power to has the ability to control you and consume you. If you do nothing about it, so I'm believing it right there. Thank you so much for listening.
