Taking Out the Trash

It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it.

But it's actually the consequences of not taking out the trash that gives us the proper motivation. Who wants their home to reek of garbage?

Let's apply this same thinking when writing our life stories.

Dispose of things like discouragement, negative thinking, and the I-can't-do-this mentality.

When thoughts like this stay in your mind, you cannot move forward. In fact, you may even move backwards, into the past where these thoughts first originated.

And always remember this fact:

You and only you control your thoughts.

That means you can get rid of thoughts that are destructive.

Can you imagine what a 5-day-old banana peel smells like? Well, keep that in mind the next time your mind trash talks you.

Take out the trash and take charge of your thoughts.
