Hold that thought!

THE SEED of good health lies in a good thought. From that single thought sprouts other thoughts.

Thought is energy. If you think hard enough and properly, you shall in time improve your mind, your heart and eventually your health.

Life couldn't be simpler. But we are all human beings. In other words, we subject ourselves to the most ridiculous conditions even though we could freely not indulge in such practices.

For example, we choose quitely willingly to prey on others, instead of praying for others.

We think we are superior to others who may or may not be lesser than us. But the truth remains that all are created equal under heaven.

If you are physically more well endowed than others. It just means you have a phhysical advantage over some people. At the end of the day, the others may overtake you on other aspects.

They may have more pleasant personalities, or they may have greater patience, or even more diligent than you.

They could be more persistent, more determined, kinder, more loving and generally more optimistic than you. So if you are born good-looking. That doesn't go very far because the years will make you lose that advantage in due course.

So what is the secret to a long and happy life? Even though, it sounds preposterous right now, the answer is actually your state of mind.

If you hold on fast to a single thought of goodness and polish it every day like you are polishing it in water, soon enough, it will sparkle.

Just a diamond in the rough will shine through relentless polishing, a single good thought will lead you down the path to good health.

Millions ruin their own health with unkind thoughts. They dwell in the painful past. They speak unkindly of others. They plot other people's downfall so that they can advance unfairly.

These are the potholes in the highway of life. If there are many potholes in your path, created by nobody but you, you will soon find the going a bit rough.

Why make your own journey a bumpy one? So hold that thought and make sure it's a good one.
