Feelings Are Not Facts

In  the face of seemingly impossible problems, it is easy to believe that our  most negative thoughts  reflect the truth. They plead the worst case scenario in a very convincing way, until it almost seems frivolous to consider a positive outcome.  Yet the loudest voice is not necessarily the truest. 

No matter how insistent a feeling may be, it is just a feeling, not a prophecy. We don't get to know today what will happen tomorrow. Counting on any particular outcome  can lead to  disappointment,  but  sometimes it helps to remember that a positive outcome is just as likely as a negative one. 

We are powerless over the results of our actions. Wecan try to make wise choices today, but what will happen in the future is out of our hands. Since we can't know what to expect, why not trust that a Higher Power can use whatever happens to further our growth? 

Today's Reminder
Today I will place the future in  my Higher Power's hands. I trust that by turning it over, it can be used for my good. 

"This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
