Your Soul Your Spirit Is Really You

When you think about it

Hey I'll give your thoughts a jerk

And tell you how I know

These things really work

Your soul and your spirit is really you

And your mind tells your body

What it should do

Your mind bears your thoughts

And they hold the key

I can't think for you

And you can't think for me

Your thoughts are your future

They were also your past

If your not happy now

You can change them real fast

Your life is a play

Which you have to act

Your thoughts are your script

And will turn out exact

So think on, be happy

Change all the cast

Don't dwell on misfortunes

Let go of the past

For now is the time

In your thoughts you can mould

What you want in your life

To have and to hold

And from this day forward

Like you are to wed

Marry these thoughts

Inside your head

For you never knew

That you had this great gift

Create your own life

Give your thoughts a great SHIFT!!!

Love the idea here. The "Bible" tells us whatsoever a man thinketh in his heart that is what he is (not a direct quote). You have brought it down to a level of understanding. Keep writing,Sara

Very inspirational, Simone. Sometimes it seems like our lives are getting away from us and we are losing control. Been there. Although it is difficult to regain control, it's the only solution to leading a happy, productive life again. I needed to hear this today. Thank you so much for the inspiration. God bless you. Love, Carolyn And welcome to the Soup Family!
