Mental Noise

We go about life with so much mental noise. Small things trigger thoughts, which trigger emotions, which trigger behavior, which trigger decisions, which trigger life events. All that mental noise can have serious consequences and sometimes lead us down a less than desirable path. Some of us may be able to look back and pick out that one mental noise which sent us on a whirlwind of a ride, but we never remember why we allowed it to be our driver in the first place. The interesting truth is, we as people should know ourselves better than anyone, we know our own likes and dislikes, we should know what makes us happy, afraid or what is good for us; yet we go about life relying on external triggers, people's opinions of ourselves, other people's success as our example and our good old friend fear to push us in whatever direction it wishes to. I have long heard allowing yourself to be silent in the mind, will manifest everything you truly want. As difficult as it may be, it is important we shut off the mental noise and just hear nothing so our mind can rest and refresh, flushing out all the negative and learning how to recognize our own ability to feel our god given instincts so WE become the driver of our lives.
