If You Believe The Following Premise, . . . You'll Guard Your Thoughts

"You become what you think"

If you can discard the above observation as useless there is no need to read further.

If on the other hand you believe that thought creates impressions upon which we do or do not take action read on. Lower vibrational thought pursuits lead to difficult and challenging outcomes at best. On the other hand higher vibrational thinking tends to lead to far more positive outcomes with considerably less stress.

Consider, seriously consider, how truly undisciplined the mind can be pursuing the desires and pleasures of distraction. The undisciplined mind (one whose thoughts are not carefully observed) is like a milk cow that is allowed to roam a hundred acre pasture. Good luck trying to call her in when it's milking time.

If your cow is allowed to wander all over creation, how can you ever expect to be able to use her for her intended purpose. Such is our mind. It wants to roam that lovely hundred acres of green pasture leaving you to figure out just where she is at any given moment rather than be at your command.

So it is with great caution I allow the mind to wander very far away from where my body resides. In carefully tending the mind's thoughts I have become ten times more efficient and handsomely rewarded for my conscious choices. So it is.

    your thoughts are not really your thoughts so there is nothing to guard ..

    what is happening is you are picking up many thoughts at once and grasping onto the one that is most appealing then grasping the next one that is similar and so on..linking thoughts together to tell a story that creates emotional story.

    and even if we put that story away ..sometime down the road another thought will pop up..and you will pull out the old stories and work on them and bringing in that emotion .

    so it is less about guarding thought and more about either changing those stories .. or learning to shelve them really fast and grab stories you prefer to put your mind to

    i am empathic ..reading though is pointless picking up someones emotional state and tuning into their storys help..then there is planting stories in their minds ..without them noticing
    ..sometimes without even meaning to do it

    anyway i won't go much into that last time i mentioned it i had a room full of open minded spiritually aware new agers freak out at me ..

    Our thoughts do tend to create who we are and who we will become. I think it is very important to monitor our thoughts because we usually become what we think about. Maybe not tomorrow but sooner or later we are what we have been thinking about the "MOST".Here's a little thought "wherever I go there I am" I think we just need to put effort,every day, into improving who we are and who we want to become. If we do we can not help but get better and make tomorrow better than today.
