negative thoughts

Every one should keep a mental wastepaper basket and the older he grows the more things he will consign to it – torn up to irrecoverable tatters. – Samuel Butler

It’s amazing how much “junk” we tend to absorb into our minds and allow it stay there, festering and tainting everything we do. Most of us have minds that are cluttered with unproductive thoughts, like negative comments by friends or family members, derogatory messages we’ve fed to ourselves, and restrictive messages received by society.
