The difference between us and animals

Good morning on this beautiful sunny October morning here in Ceredigion, West Wales.

Have you ever considered the difference between us and animals?

Some people would answer with tongue in cheek, 'very little', which might well be the case, especially if you allow the press and the media to influence you daily in a negative way!

If you make it your daily ritual to watch the news on television, read the newspaper, be it the sun, daily mail or the times, keep up to date with your favourite soap such as eastenders, the chances are you will be full of gloom and doom.

I have a magnet on my fridge which says 'the more people I meet the more I love my dog', especially given how negative and depressing a high percentage of people can be!

However the major difference is that we as humans, have that unique ability to choose our thoughts at any given moment. So surely it makes sense for you and I to choose to think pleasant thoughts, and not to allow any negative thoughts into the temple of your mind. By doing this you increase your chances of experiencing good health, happiness, success and wealth.

Make it your goal today to take control of your mind, from this minute onwards and only think pleasant thoughts from now on.

Try it for a month regardless of how skeptical you might be and observe the difference.

Alternatively you can continue to exist in the doom and gloom environment, courtesy of the sun and daily mail, the bbc news service and your daily dose of eastenders and emmerdale.

Unlike your cat or dog the choice is yours.

Enjoy the rest of the day and think pleasant thoughts,

Best regards,

Aled
