We are not our thoughts

Posted on by philipdodson

If we allow it to happen, we spend the vast majority of our physical existence creating endless thoughts about what we think is us derived from the past and our imagination of the future and then acting on those thoughts and seeing ourselves as those thoughts.

Our mind is a part of us and the thoughts that the mind creates are a part of us, but they are not us. We can choose to simply observe them without judging.

Once the mind controls rather than us controlling it, we then become our thoughts.

We are not our thoughts if we choose to be conscious.

What’s possible

Often in life, we tend to focus on what isn’t possible, what we can’t do, where there will be difficulties, where it won’t work, what an easy option would be.

What if we turned that around and focused on what we can do, what the solutions could be, what might work, what would stretch us, what could be possible?

It’s all a choice and who knows, we might get some even better outcomes.
