Merry Monday…Choose Ye these daye…Yur Fellings
on June 8th, 2009 at 5:03 amMerry Monday! Hey Passengers, this week remember, You Choose Feelings!
Let me explain. If your days this week seem to fill with unwanted negative feelings, there is only one cure.  When they come, choose them. Don’t ask why, don’t wonder how, don’t fight them and never put yourself down for having them. But most of all never blame someone else for how you feel. If you do, it means you are still fast asleep and your choice is to be a victim. When the feelings come, even big disturbing emotional feelings say, “I choose this feeling” and know it comes because of something you have thought or done in the past, perhaps a certain belief that you have learned or an attachment that is threatened. Choice does not mean you want the feelings, but it does mean you are taking responsibility for them. And that is the beginning of self mastery. It is the first step to the healing and resolving of your emotions. But only the first step. Try this today and then ask yourself what the next step might be. If you are really interested to know, you will come to know! Can you dig it? I knew that you would.
Lastly for Merry Monday, which actually means let’s start the week out right, in a positive way! Over the years I have surmised that good wisdom calls for fighting only as a last resort. When I was involved in martial arts I was taught that it is t always better to wait patiently, speak positively, release easily, see benefit in everything and envision the path to peace as opposed to a physical encounter. The key is knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment, in the right way. So, this week, if you think life is a struggle you will always be struggling, If you think life is a breeze, your attitudes and actions will more easily convey lightness and easiness. And that’s part of what attracts everything you need, and much more.
So fellow passenger’s try to make this week a breeze not a battle.
All Aboard, the LiFeTrain!
As always my condutor, you are on the mark. The feeling that I am displaying for the week is that of Wonder and amazement, along with happy. You have been a constant in the new journey that I am on. You have kept me from losing my mind. Thank you and may God continue to Bless your mind to be clear of clutter, your ears to hear words of wisdom, your hands to continue to do His work, and your heart to be full of compassion. Lov Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tito pass the tissue. If I wasn’t the LION that I am I would be blubbering…sniff, sniff…oops be right back…gotta go jump in the shower…
Such kind words, I appreciate and love you…You made my day! My Fiddy is coming up so keep an eye on me. I guess I better be glad I am still “ABOVE GROUND” as a dear friend reminded me of today.

Hmmm…this is quite the interesting post. I think that it is important to look at feelings or the cause of feelings from a different perspective…not whether or not we choose the feeling but more so whether we choose to respond to the feeling. I don’t think that any of us can deny that we have feelings…they are (I believe) an involuntary response to an outward stimulus (be it words, actions, lack of actions etc.)…I don’t think we can control the heart (we are told to guard it, for it is the wellspring of life), but we can control the mind (take captive of our thoughts and cast down all imaginations). I have felt pain because of something someone else said or did, but I could also choose to respond to the feeling or not. This is where we need to cast our cares upon the Lord. In many cases, when it comes to people we love and that love us, it is not the intention of the other person to hurt us. However, that does not mean that the feeling doesn’t exist. Hmmm…this is a heavy topic…I need to ponder it more. Love ya…
Okay…when it comes to whether or not we have a good day or not…then that is up to us. We should never let anyone steal our joy! Amen…Chuckie I do really appreciate the time and thought you put into your posts. They tryly are a blessing to each and everyone of us that read them. I must say, this is an area in which I need much prayer. I am a true feeler (for lack of a better word)…and they (feelings) do alter my mood. I try not to let them, but they do. Remember when we were growing up…we would say stuff like ‘You hurt my feelings’ (I still say this), and how about the infamous “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me’…LIES! Feelings…hmmm, they are something. Hugs…
