𝗡𝗢 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗡𝗚! This is probably not the advice you expected from me, but as I was doing my inspirational reading today, this passage from Emmet Fox had “Kathie Cude” written all over it. I have to be vigilant to keep the “Rolodex” from taking over my thoughts, which affects my mood, my attitude and my health. Please read on and join me in 𝗡𝗢𝗧 being a grave robber 😉
“Don’t be a grave robber. Let corpses alone. In due course nature disposes of such remains, if they are left undisturbed. Every time you dig up an old grievance or an old mistake by rehearsing it in your mind or, still worse, by telling someone else about it, you are simply ripping open the grave - - - and you know what you may expect to find.
Live in the present. Prepare intelligently for the future . . . and let the past alone. This is what Jesus meant when He said, ‘ . . . let the dead bury their dead (Matt 8:22)’
Make a law for yourself today that you are not going to touch mentally any negative thing that has happened up to the present moment . . . and keep that law. Life is too precious for grave robbing. The past is past . . . liquidate it. If a negative memory comes into your mind, cremate it with the right thought (the fire of LOVE) and forget it.” Emmet Fox
