Thoughts are the food for the soul. As important as it is to feed our body nutritious food to make it strong, it is equally important to feed your soul the right nutritious food too to let it nourish you. Not only do good thoughts give our conscience the right direction to think in, but also help us to concentrate on truly ‘important things’.
