Yesterday, Iyanla Vanzant tweeted something that caught my attention so I clicked the link and found this very inspiring article that she wrote about letting go of a drama-filled life.  It echoes the same sentiments that I often share regarding the power of our thoughts.  Peep what she had to say below...

"Human beings, particularly those of us with a deep attachment to the ego, the voice of separation, have a tendency to be very dramatic. When our backs are up against the wall; when we are being stretched or pruned or corrected by the circumstances of life rather than knowing and believing that things are working together for our good, we more often than not immediately assume that we are in grave danger of extinction.

When I think back to the most challenging experiences of my life, those moments when everything I thought I knew and believed were being tested, I must admit that the greatest difficulty I encountered was trying to control the rampant thoughts that seized my mind. I now recognize that in those most difficult moments my thinking became resistant, fearful and dramatic. I conjured up my own suffering. I lost faith and trust in all that I knew to be true. Feeling sorry for myself, blaming others, not wanting to go through the trials of whatever the situation was at the time, I expected the worst and more often than not, that is what I got – - the worst possible scenario I could imagine. And, since it was in my mind, I experienced it in my life. It seemed real. It felt real."  CLICK HERE TO READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE
