“Sometimes your soul is on fire, sometimes it’s frozen. Do you choose to feel this way, or are you chosen?”
– Lyric from “Scenes From A Troubled Mind” by Gov’t Mule
The verse goes on to call out “all the treasures in your memory, all the pounding in your chest.” No wonder our minds are troubled these days, huh?
If we can become more aware of whatever sets our soul on fire, we not only thaw it out, but we provide heat to those around us. We become creators of energy, creativity, positivity, innovation, passion, productivity. We become the furnace for the room, the relationship, the interaction.
One good way to do that is to choose — and realize that if we’re in a particularly troubled place in our minds, that it might be due to our choosing.
