All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.
--- Buddha (Buddha 2nd link)---
It's amazing how powerful our thoughts can be. There are some people that say we only use 10% of our brains, while others discount the scientific validity of that claim. I am a big believer in the idea that our thoughts are powerful players in our lives, and we are what we think. Now think about it, how we think and what we spend our time thinking shapes everything that we see, do, and experience in life. It's SO important to be conscious of what we think. With multimedia platforms, television, movies, facebook, blogs :), email, and tons of different ways to be distracted, we often loose sight of what we are thinking. In fact, we begin to believe that what other people think is what we think, without even checking it against our own personal morals, values, and beliefs. It is easy to be bombarded with messages and think that they are your own thoughts. We are in desperate need for a call to critical thinking - not to critique others, but to examine our own thoughts and imaginations. This quote is dedicated to everyone who is on 'auto-pilot' as a reminder to think about your thoughts and move them gently and intentionally in a positive direction.
