Okay, so today I went to see "Eat Pray Love." This is one of the first times I saw the movie without reading the book, but i loved it regardless.
One line that resonated with me was "Select your thoughts the same way you select your clothes." I don't know about you, but I spend an awful amount of time choosing what clothes I want to wear for the day. Imagine if thoughts were clothes, how long would you spend choosing them? It's our choice to decide how we think. Whether to be positive or negative. Happy or sad. It all effects our thought process and the way we feel. We spend so much time on useless things, like what we are going to wear (even though I adore fashion), and we don't worry about how we think; how we feel. So if you decide to wear a dress, decide what thoughts are going to be paired up with that dress, not what shoes. (Or you can decide both, of course) I know when I'm wearing an outfit I feel confident, no one can stop me. Now, I just need to accessorize it with the perfect thoughts.
We are so oblivious and blinded by the way society conforms us. It's our turn to show that we can be our own people. We can be happy without being like everyone else. In fact, we can show them we can be happier. It all comes down to how you think. If you think you can take on the world, all the more power to you. We as a people try so hard to be what someone else wants to be, do we ever stop and ask: what do i want? I'm starting to ask that and I'm starting to find who I am, very slowly. I'm starting to understand what I truly want and erase all the things that I thought were important. To be honest, I feel I'm starting to actually feel things and feel them hard. Understand that we need to be tied to our thoughts, not distant from them. I'm starting to take no words lightly and examine everything. I'm starting to be happy and kinder and love a bit more. That's all I need. I was no where near to anything good before, now I'm starting a new route down the road I'm traveling. I'm finally out of the fast moving HOV lane and I'm content with sitting in traffic. Finding out who I am and where I want to be and not rushing into anything. These are the thoughts I need to keep glued to my head, actually, to my heart. My heart finally is starting to learn how to think. Now, it's not just all my head's work.
Think. Think beautifully about yourself, about your life, about how wonderful you can be. Stop just dreaming start actually thinking. With your heart and your mind. Soon, you're outfits really will be complete and you're emotions will make you unstoppable. And I promise, you'll be great.
So, I got a little writer happy, hey, I need something to distract me. From everything. I'm staying positive and I'm still hoping for what I desperately want. I've waited and I'll keep waiting and I feel it coming. I feel my wish will hopefully be granted. At the moment I'm so content though, actually a little beyond content. *By the way, I've never told you specifically about what I'm so desperately hoping for, but you can have some fun guessing:)*
