Don't Forget To Throw Away The Trash!

"Don't Forget To Throw Away The Trash" I recall this saying on the "Peaceful Warrior" book and movie. It is also in a book by Tom Pace, Mentor: The Kid & The CEO. Anyway, "Don't Forget To Throw Away The Trash," refers to The trash or garbage in which fill our minds on a daily basis. Read on....


Poem Artwork

Trash piles up in our minds.

Trash from the newspaper.

Trash from the internet.

Trash from the television.

Trash - from people talking about others.

Trash - from politics, local and national.

The trash piles up high.

It clutters up the mind.

All of this negative news

put us in a bad bind.

So take out the trash

and throw it all away.

For you have much better things

to do with your life

as you go about your day.

After the trash is out,

please don't forget

to fill it

with

love,

peace,

God's grace

and

kindness.

Then close the lid,

seal it,

and

pray,

pray,

pray...

 

Amen

GREAT ADVICE, INDEED. AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 'TRASH' FROM MY OWN LIVING IS THE BIGGEST AND MOST DIFFICULT PILE TO GET RID OF OF. WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS +INSPIRATIONS

This is so true. You have a remarkable way of sending out important messages to your readers! Our minds are like sponges. We absorb so much information, junk, advertisements, and false ideas from the newspapers and all types of media. If we do not sort out the trash, and get rid of some, we carry around a huge amount of sand on our backs. It can be very draining. I loved this poem because it is a reminder to me that I must seperate the valuabe information of the newspapers, from the garbage, or useless information. It can change our way of thinking, and if we do not get rid of the trash, it can sometimes affect our relationships with others. Spending too much time carrying around the trash really is draining! Great poem! Bravo!
