Making Friends with the Mind

If a friend invites to a bar for a drink and you don't want to go, you don't tell your friend he or she can't go. Instead, you choose what you want to do with your friend and build your relationship that way. In the same way, give your mind the freedom to do what it wants. Stand back and joyfully watch its workings. Build your relationship with it by empowering only those thoughts you feel are beneficial.
