Can you imagine what your house your office or
Your body would be like if you never cleaned it?
Can you picture your mail box, or ice box if you never emptied it.
Well your mind is no different.
It too needs to be empty and cleaned up regularly.
Everyday you accumulate all kinds and
Unwholesome thoughts and impressions.
They pile up there in your head.
And unless you make a habit of eliminating them,
These poisons can contaminate your mind and make it sick.
A simple cure is to give your mind a good shampoo everyday.
Now how do you give yourself a mental shampoo.
You can learn how but you got to practice daily.
Each day empty out of your mind all the bad
Thoughts the mean ones the jealous ones and the weak ones.
Then, let all the good thoughts take over.
This makes me think of an old tailor I once knew this
Little fellow used to lecture me on how to treat a suited clothes.
When you go to bed at night he'd
Say take everything out of the pockets.
Never hang out suits with things in the pocket because they
Pull on the cloth and make the suit look old before its time.
Then he'd say another more important thing,
You not only should empty the pocket of
Your suit but also the pockets of your mind.
By the time you're ready to turn in at night,
Your chuck full of all sorts of
Thoughts and feelings you've seen and done.
Since the day begun, you turned out the light and try to sleep.
