Voices In Your Head

 

Do you hear voices in your head? Are they always positive and encouraging? If your answer to that is yes, are you being honest? Most of us tend to have trash talk in our heads.

If you have been around the MMM for a long you know I often incorporate musical lyric references. Have you heard the Jelly Roll song entitled “Liar”? Consider these random snippets from the song.

·        I let you drive around my mind

·        You made me feel like I’m nothing

·        Saying…

-          Heaven isn’t real

-          You won’t find nobody to love

·        You try to be my friend, but your blowing smoke

·        You ain’t nothing but a liar

We all have demons and head trash. That is enough to deal with, but the song lyrics seem to be about another person’s whose thoughts and opinions running around his head. Don’t let others get all up into your headspace. Protect your mind from the negative thoughts of others.

We may not be able to train the voices in our minds to always be positive, but we can keep the negative voice of others from camping out in our heads.

Think about it and listen to Jelly Roll.

The Voice of Adventure

 

There is a rawness and a wonder to life.  Pursue it. Hunt for it. Sell out to get it. Don’t listen to the whining of those who have settled for a second-rate life and want you to do the same. You can build a fire in the hearth, stay inside, and stay warm and dry and safe…Or you can hear the voice of adventure. Instead of building a fire in your hearth, build a fire in your heart.  Follow God’s impulses. Adopt the child. Move overseas. Teach the class. Change careers. Run for office. Make a difference. Sure it isn’t safe, but what is.
