Our thoughts can be powerful motivators
If our thoughts could be monitored and observed we could see what and how we bring things into our lives. Is it knowingly, or mostly unknowingly? Realize that there is so much we can do to make our lives better, but we are lulled into a false reality created by our unchecked thoughts.
You wonder how things got to be this way. It is because you created them. The good news is you can start anytime with the first thought of the day. What do you focus on? Are your thoughts just random? Do you just let in any thought that wants come into your mind? There is a bunch of garbage looking for some attention that will occupy your mind and life.
Choose a meaningful, important endeavor, and sit with it until a feeling motivates you into some action ¬– no matter how long it takes! Write your thoughts down to bring them into a sharper focus. Writing is very important because your thoughts have to be constantly fed in order to grow.
