Concentrate...

...on controlling your thoughts, try and take them as they come and don't give them the chance to pounce when you least expect it.

You'll very well regret on letting that happen. Headaches that result in an exhausted and drained body are things that you will avoid if you find the ability to concentrate.

The worst times do grant me the knowledge of reliability though; and in the end, one smile makes me smile back.



Breaking the Chains:

"If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down."

Mary Pickford

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."

Martha Washington

"Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life."

Joan Lunden

"Sometimes the measure of friendship isn't your ability to not harm but your capacity to forgive the things done to you and ask forgiveness for your own mistakes."

Randy K. Millholland

oh i know that feeling, totally! sometimes my mind works me up even more by thinking of horrible stuff - things i try to avoid and ignore. and then it gives me palpitations n stuff...so i learnt to control my thoughts. at least, most of the time :) it helps in diverting attention and not giving importance to ur mind's babble.

very profound!
