“If you have good thoughts,
they will shine out of your face like sunbeams
and you will always look lovely.”
— Roald Dahl

It's true. Holding good thoughts in our minds allows the inherent beauty within us to shine. We look lovely because we are lovely.

There are many reasons to keep good thoughts.

Holding good thoughts nurtures the kindness in our hearts. And the kindness in our hearts fosters peace within us and among us. Harmony, health, and well-being too.

This may seem oversimplified to some. But the truth is simple. Simple yet profound. Not always easy. That's true too. But, with practice, we can get better and better at it.

Here's a thought for keeping good thoughts.

Negative thoughts are like birds. We can't stop them from flying overhead. But we can stop them from building nests in our minds.

Starting today, let's become more aware of the thoughts that fly nearby. Let's practice letting them be and letting them go.

With beauty,
Charlene
