Your Mind Is Not Your Friend

Your mind is in the business of keeping you controlled, captive and negative. Your mind wants you to think it owns you. One of its tools is guilt. What value is the feeling of guilt? How does it help you? How does it make you feel better? How does it make you more positive, more loving, more happy, more abundant, more successful? You immediately see guilt is of absolutely no value to you.

Your mind tells you guilt helps you by keeping you from repeating the behavior you are feeling guilty about which is a lie. That's your mind telling you a lie. Guilt makes you prone to the same behavior that got you feeling guilty. Guilt does nothing positive for you. You decide something you say or do is bad. You feel guilty. You go into fear that bad will happen to you as punishment. Bad will happen to you unless you punish yourself, says your lying mind. And, guess what? Can you see it? This guilt keeps you holding onto the thought you are not a good a person, you are a bad person, undeserving of happiness.

Guilt keeps you locked in negativity. Each bit of negativity you collect, blocks out a bit of positivity. Do you see how negativity blocks you from having all the love that you naturally are, all the happiness that you naturally are, all the perfect health that you naturally are, all the abundance that you naturally are? Do you see how the negativity you have collected, negativity such as guilt, robs you of your life, your aliveness?

Your mind is saying, you've done or said all this. It's saying you've hurt people with actions and words. That's the very same mind that told you to do or say those things! Do you see what your mind is doing? Are you catching on to your mind's game? Your mind is a collection---let's say it another way---you have collected all of those guilty feelings and you are holding them in your mind.

Every one of those guilt feelings is running in the background of your life. Is it any surprise you are not as happy as you could be? Is it any wonder you keep doing the same hurtful actions over and over and over again? There is a way out. The way out is dropping those negative thoughts as soon as you see them. Drop them as quick as you would if somebody handed you a hot poker. See the negative feeling and drop it. That's how you keep negativity from ruining your life.
