121. Men are free to choose their thoughts, but never are men free to choose the consequences.

122. The law of though is an immutable and unchangeable law: thoughts create in kind.

123. Your mind sucks. It will bleed you dry and leave you at a buzzard picnic. An energy-vampire-mind will kill you and never complain about its own suicide. A vampire mind is an untrained mind that lives in the darkness of its unrestrained desires and it loves to bite the hands that feeds it–your hand–and drain your life force.

124. Your untrained mind is your master and you are its slave. Humans hate to submit to a dictator or slave-master or an insane boss, but, for some ludicrous reason (only understood by a drunk circus clown) if it is your mind who is your boss and orders you around, you submit like a paid flunky. You jump to obey its demands, thrilled just to satisfy its every need, want and desire as if you are its Three Wish Genie. An uncontrolled mind is a vampire-mind sucking your peace and happiness by treating you as its, stooge, toy, janitor and all around loser, and if you let it treat you like that your life will absolutely be worse than living with your dead composting mother-in-law.

125. Don’t let your mind play you like a ping-pong ball. Take charge. Be the paddle.

126. Everything was going fine. Life was good for Jack, and then in an instant his world crashed, burned, exploded and disappeared in a vapor of black smoke because he went berserk. Days later when he thought about what he had done, Jack realized that it wasn’t by chance. He had reacted without thinking. He knew that his response was the fruit of the thoughts he had been thinking most of his life (there are no details in this story because the details vary from person to person, but the results are the same, lives turned upside down or destroyed). This could happen to you....may have already happened to you. Raging or going berserk never resolves problems in your favor. Whether it’s a minor situation or a monster event, your reaction during them and during times of actual disasters may determine whether you leave this nut house or stay (now that I think about it, a quick exit might not be so bad).

127. It is the little things that bug little people. Most people handle big natural disasters quite well, on-the-other hand, little things, daily little things, like relationships, these challenge most people to their limits. And what hurts a relationship most is what people say or don’t say and how they react and respond to each other: Letting your mind lose its peace, its cool; get its panties in a bind, get it feathers ruffled; stress out; go ballistic and flip-out creates deadly blowback that results in broken hearts, mental, emotional and physical problems and destroys lives more than any disasters except marriage.

128. If there was a way to be in charge of your life without being in charge of your mind and its thoughts, government scientists would have discovered it by now and it would be taxed or against the law.

129. To be the master of your thoughts and create the life you want you must be the guardian at the gate of your mind. You must monitor your thoughts each moment you are awake and replace debilitating, destructive, judgmental and pessimistic thoughts with enabling, constructive, loving and optimistic thoughts until they close the casket on your avatar.

130. There are many things in life you cannot control. Your thoughts are not one of them.

131. You already know you can’t change what was or was is, but you can help determine what will be. Once something has happened, you can’t change it, and if you refuse to accept what is, your misery is assured.

132. Until you stop crying about what your life isn’t and starting enjoying what your life is you will be miserable every time life doesn’t go your way.

133. There are thoughts worth thinking and thoughts worth dumping. Use the dumpster when appropriate.

134. It’s not the thoughtst that run through your mind that create problems. It’s the thoughts you empower by entertaining, playing and toying with that cause your problems.

135. Some people challenge themselves with formal education, business, politics, sports or conquering a neighborhood or country, but there is no greater challenge than to conquer yourself, conquer your mind, and there are no greater reward or benefits.

136. If your thoughts are not the master of your fate, and you the master of your thoughts, who or what is?
