Perception is a reflection of our own thoughts, not a universal truth. Negative thoughts have a harmful effect on our mental and physical health, and the way we see and interact with others.Condemning thoughts keep us trapped in a state of unforgiveness. Holding onto anger, blame, and guilt creates a toxic environment in our minds, leading to unhappiness and ill-being. Let go of these thoughts to achieve peace and well-being. Choose to release them.By getting our own shit together, we can learn to live in harmony and become happy, creative, and successful in all of our relationships.

Mirror of Thoughts

It's our own shitty thoughts and attitudes that cause us to have a shitty life in what often looks like a shitty world. We change and clean up the world we see and experience by beginning with ourselves.

Forgiveness is a potent laxative for relieving the shit in our minds. It may in fact be the most powerful healing force in the world.

The road to health is to be aware of your inner feelings. Saying or thinking "Oh shit!" can actually result in a greater sense of resilience and a more balanced state of being. It's healthy to recognize when you've stepped in a pile of shit so you can say "Oh shit!", clean off your shoe, and move on. The last thing you want to do is get stuck in shit.

We notice that other people's shit smells so awful that it makes us want to puke, yet the smell of our own shit doesn't seem to bother us. Consider the possibility that if we all took responsibility for smelling our own shit and got rid of it, we could bring peace and harmony into a world that is filled with darkness and conflict.

Our egos refuse to accept that what we see in the world is but a reflection of the thoughts and attitudes in our own minds that we are projecting outwards. As difficult as it may be to believe, it is important to consider that we create the picture of what we see and that our thoughts create our own reality. The ego law states that if something is going wrong in our lives, we should find someone else to blame. It would have us believe that it is someone else's fault, not our own. We need to take responsibility for our own actions and actively begin to clean out our minds.

Transform Your Mind

This book is dedicated to all those who at one time or another during their lives have felt that they were drowning in shit and thereby were reminded that they were human.

Edgy, humorous, informative and life changing, this book challenges what we know about what we put into our minds and what comes out of our mouths. The word "sh*t" is used as a metaphor for the toxic thoughts we put into our heads. This can result, says Jampolsky, in constipation of the mind which can eventually cause verbal diarrhea! What we put into our minds can be more important than the food we put into our mouths. Cleaning out our minds can be just as important as cleaning our teeth. This book is about spiritual transformation in which forgiveness is stated to be the best treatment for "waste management" of our minds and relieving mind constipation.
