thoughts become bodies!!

Yesterday I tried really hard not to think negative thoughts about the blog troll.
When I felt the urge to indulge in some mental ass-kicking I stopped and reminded myself that she and I are too much alike. My anger at her would really be anger at me. I'd only be ass-kicking myself.

Having angry vengeful thoughts against someone hurts both parties.
We've heard these lessons a thousand times:

"We are shaped by our thoughts. We become what we think." - Buddha

"Thoughts become things." - The Secret

"Thoughts are energy." - Einstein

"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. " - Jesus

Suffice it to say,
thoughts have power.
Thoughts are a type of action.

Is there a difference between shooting someone and thinking about shooting someone??
Of course there is!
To think a harmful thought but then to overcome the urge to act on it is powerful. Don't get me wrong.
There is definitely strength in acting differently than our indulgent thoughts.

But if we wish to be truly enlightened we need to take it a step further and practice right thinking.
Right thoughts lead to right actions,
or so the Buddha says.
