*_MESSAGE  FOR THE YOUTH_*

~••••••••••••••••••••••••••~

✨👍The method to bring about a permanent change is to bring about newness in thinking.

*_Expression:_*

 

🤍🪁To bring about a permanent change for the better means getting the mind trained to new ways of looking at the same situation. Only with this new understanding will there be a new response. Trying to bring about change in a superficial way will not bring about a long-lasting change.

*_Experience:_*

 

🤍🪁When I train my mind to think creatively I'm able to keep my mind busy. In this way I'm able to free it from thinking negative and waste. Also I find myself enjoying every scene that comes in front of me and I also find myself constantly progressing.
