QuotesofWisdom: Thoughts Are Seeds


Thoughts can be dangerous. They are seeds of all goodness or evil and can  appears any moment in your mind. A thought is a thought and most of the time it never happens in reality. Eliminate weeds of negative thoughts of anxiety, negativity, desire, greed and lust before it gets a strangling hold on you. Have a beautiful garden full of flowering positive thoughts of compassion, joy, freedom, and peace.

IdlierStories: Muddy Water
