Be Aware and WATCH

This wonderful quote was passed on to me by the "gooddog" who has a blog also that is absolutely amazing in its insight and healing in the form of thoughts and how we must stay positive and ever looking for that "sun will come up tomorrow" mentality we all need so desperately.

I thought this spoke VOLUMES on how we could utilize our own internal resources and our own actions to thwart the stigmas, to stop us from outbursts of saying things we don't mean when manic, to watch what we do and how we treat others when we are going through the throws of our symptoms and often forget how we are making OTHERS feel by our actions even though it is unintentional, and how our habits DO become our character which ultimately leads to how we deal with the beast within....how we end up coping or succumbing.

I so thank the day that I met this "gooddog" and his inspirational words through yet another bp friend. I hope this is something that gives you pause, that creates an internal review basically that will inspire others to also follow the words below that he sent in his inspirational quotes.

Remember we are all responsible for our actions to OURSELVES our OWN psyche AND AND AND to how we allow the throws of bp to spur us into spending sprees, yell at someone for no apparent reason, or just curl up in fetal position to cope with the depression that overcometh.
Don't get me wrong, this is a REAL illness that is not thwarted only with thought and certainly not something we should take heed of "others" perspective of our behavior for we do NOT control the mania or the depression or all the other various sides that come with it.

I simply felt this could help so many in their own quest to understand SELF....to think on SELF behavior and actions and responses and so forth. I hope you find it as insightful as I. And again I reiterate that i do not believe only thought can remove the diagnosis but believe me attempting in various form to get control of our thoughts no matter how large or how small, and positive outlook of the glass being half full, and utilizing coping skills CAN help...of that I have personaly experienced..
NO it doesn't go away.....YES it makes it alright and manageable more so than without these words of wisdom.

I salute you gooddog!!! ENCORE!!

Watch you thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; the become habits.
Watch your habits; the become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
