what you allow continues. -> what you tolerate continues. -> what you show interest in is what brings more of that interest into your life. -> to often express an emotion like anger or joy will make people test it, tread its waters, treat you with that emotion in mind, thus making you choose between rejecting or accepting their understanding of you, instead of being neutral on it. -> if you get involved in fights and debate, more fights come to your doorstep. to think solemnly about your existence is to see answers and questions in everything. to participate in anything is to be enmeshed in it, touched back by it. -> to be bothered deeply by something personally repulsive is to touch it back when it tries to hold you, instead of washing your hands. -> you can work against something without allowing it to touch you inside. -> what you allow inside you continues.

Don’t ruin a new thing with an old mindset. 

I have a choice to let the hurt of the past affect my present, I have a choice to ruminate on the traumatic things I've gone through, I have choice to focus on the hurt and anger people have caused me. But I also have the choice to not focus on those things, to divert my here and now towards things that bring me joy and happiness, to not allow the past to keep my present and future hostage. I take control over what I choose to focus on because I owe that to myself.
