charliecharlie Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 "if you feed it, it will grow" sounds trite, but very useful to have in the back of your mind when there are bad office politics/relations/and a whole load a whinging going on, or for that matter any negative stuff that you keep coming back to in your head and niggling away at."if you feed it, it will grow" also for the good aspects of your life... and I don't mean your bellyI think routes of the phase come from Buddhist philosophy... or so I was toldhttp://fc50.deviantart.com/fs28/f/2008/128/a/c/The_Young_Buddhist_Monk_by_serhatdemiroglu.jpg Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5322-whats-the-best-piece-of-advice-youve-ever-had/page/3/#findComment-170937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony.London Suburbs Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 My slim and rather slender workmate Stephen M. stayed at my South London Flat one night after a drinking session after work and we slept in my double bed.He was straight but teased me about "how do you know you won't like something unless you try it!", trying to imply that he batted for the other side so I "tested" him. I crept out of bed and got a 10 inch Bamboo Stick,that I just brought back from Majorca, smuggled it into the bed and when his back was turned I shoved it right up his jaxie and boy! did he run and run:)) finally locking himself in the loo....He never gave me that advice again, for some reasonB) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5322-whats-the-best-piece-of-advice-youve-ever-had/page/3/#findComment-170939 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give energy and time to negative things in your life - be they thoughts; enemies; bitchiness... all manner of negative things, then things will just get worse. Instead, observe what's happening and how you are feeling and then just put them to one side.... just let go. And eventually they will lose their hold over you.Easy, innit?
