An Everyday Miracle

My mind never shuts up!
The best I can do , until i receive a cure for this is keep the negative stuff out of it as much as possible!

I am a bit addicted to figuring out how our minds work, and this week in particular, why we hold on to things that give us emotional pain.I've been working on my chapter on 'letting go of fear' lately, and I've changed it so much! Anyway, I was pondering to myself this the other day in the car with my daughter sitting quietly by my side, when suddenly, out of the blue she said, 'You know, you can't really get burned by a hot radiator because you automatically take your hand away as soon as you feel it. The only way you get burned is if you deliberately hold on to it'.

This was the answer to my problem I had been thinking about for days. the only way we can feel bad emotional pain is if we hold on. Once you get into the habit of letting go as soon you feel sadness, anger, fear etc, it becomes a much rarer occasion to get 'burnt' by our 'hot' damaging thoughts. To me, it's more than coincidence that my 9 year old should come out randomly with this statement.
Wow!
