Does It Matter?

Does what we think and say matter?  Do our little, individual lives make a difference?  Such questions!! Of course they do, both individually and in the composite.  We may individually possess some important and life-changing ideas which will impact our lives and sometimes others in our world; and we should also know that, wisely or unwisely, we are impacting the life of thought that encircles us.

Grow up quickly...          

 If we do not understand the effects of thoughts and ideas upon our lives in particular and the world in general, we had better grow up quickly and discover that we are contributing to the mental world in which we live every time we form a thought.  Certainly each thought is not necessarily monumental, but some are and can make great, world-wide changes.  Other thoughts may have lesser impacts but all affect general thought patterns.

Thinking beings...          

 Perhaps we should learn that, as thinking beings, we possess more power than we think we do, which implies a greater responsibility on our parts to “mind our minds.”  We are responsible to ourselves to make the effort to think clearly and lovingly so that our lives will be healthy, but we should also remember that we are part of a great body of shared thinking.  We owe it to all of us to make sure our minds are wisely tuned and bring continuous gifts to life.
