No thoughts are rent free

Nothing has meaning except the meaning you give it. We get upset on certain things or activities because that’s what we learn in the past.
Our mind tells us now it is time to be angry because someone cut you off on the road. Someone say things behind your back. Someone do you wrong by taking your business away. Your emotion was formed because you (your mind) decided that you need to feel that way when you experience that event.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Don’t give meaning or emotion to things that would not help you to achieve your goal. Pay attention and emotion to things that will help you to get there. Cutting you off on the road – so what? You don’t even know who this person is! Talk behind your back? So what? Does it really hurt you and take anything away from you? Not really.
Focus on the important things. No thoughts live your head rent free. Don’t waste your time and energy on silly things..
