Trapped in our Minds

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle, Spiritual|May 20, 2022

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so! ~Shakespeare~ Have a look around, observe how nearly everyone around you is completely lost in thought. I see it everywhere, people drifting off in thought as if they are spaced out, dwelling in memories or anticipation of some event in the future. Practically […]
