THE MACHETE OF PHILOSOPHY

.

.

The character and content of my life

Changed when I changed the character and content 

Of the thoughts in my head

My thoughts are the wellspring of my life

Any change I want to make in my life

I must first change in my thoughts

Becoming aware of my thoughts and trimming them back

Like jungle growth obscuring the Path I wish to walk

Once thoughts become tamed they become useful

Calm and supportive, even fun and dynamic

So I hack and slash my way through the Jungle

Of crazy, worried, sad, self critical thoughts

Cutting back noxious vines that spring up overnight

With the Machete of Philosophy

Until there is no longer a nightmarish jungle

And the Path forward is clear and bright.
