Combustion

I'm working on following my good friend Smokey the Bear's advice. "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires." Only, I'm not concerned about pyromaniac tendencies in state parks, I'm concerned about setting fires in my own mind. My mind is a battlefield, raging out of control. But its true that only I can prevent these mental sparks from getting to close to my kindling. I need to take every thought captive. I guess its just that I get ahead of myself, I always think myself into a dangerous corner. What I need to see is what words are "sparks" in my life. Examples: "maybe" "possibly" "perhaps" mostly all three of those words in front of the phrase "in the future."

As well as I can work myself into a frenzy and completely ruin my night by over thinking about stuff. At that point I need to grab ahold of reality and stop my emotions. I can literally feed the fire in my mind and completely destroy my mood. In fact I'm quite good at that. But only I have the power to prevent these fires if only I could see them before they start.
