"Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes, and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives."
Isn't that true? We get to choose what we think about. And those thoughts determine our actions. When a negative thought comes up, acknowledge it in a neutral manner, don't allow it to become "one" with you, then gently set it aside and choose a different thought--one that will move and empower you. We can be a victor or a victim of our minds.
