Negative Desires
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As we think, so we become. Good and bad is in our mind.
Thoughts are very powerful and our attitude and approach in facing a situation are all that matter the most.

Value: Truth
Sub-Value: Self-control
A disciple said to his teacher, ‘I have spent a large part of my day thinking things I should not think, desiring things I should not desire, and making plans I should not make.’
The teacher invited his disciple to go for a walk with him in a forest near his house.
On the way, he pointed to a plant and asked if the disciple knew what it was.
‘It’s deadly nightshade, and the leaves can kill you if you eat them,’ said the disciple.
‘But they cannot kill you if you merely look at them. In exactly the same way, negative desires are entirely harmless unless you give in to them.’

As we think, so we become. Good and bad is in our mind. Thoughts are very powerful and our attitude and approach in facing a situation are all that matter the most.
Rather than focusing on the negatives, let us see the positives we are blessed with and move forward. This kind of optimistic attitude will help us grow aright, leading to true joy.
