“Ramakrishna once said that if all you think of are your sins, then you are a sinner. And when I read that, I thought of my boyhood, going to confession on Saturdays, meditating on all the little sins that I had committed during the week. Now I think one should go and say, “Bless me, Father, for I have been great, these are the good things I have done this week.” Identify your notion of yourself with the positive, rather than with the negative.” ~ Joseph Campbell from The Power of Myth
Genius. We are what we think about most of the time. So... what are YOU thinking about most of the time? Your sins? Or your greatness?
