Are You Having Thought Or Being Had By It?

Do we have thought, or does thought have us?

Ever notice how much the mind talks? Most every minute of our lives we are engulfed in a perpetual cloud of thought.

Although exhausting, that's not really the problem. The real problem is that most every one of those thoughts are unnoticed, unquestioned and unnecessary. And that makes thought the puppeteer.

Yet, we blindly go along with the unexamined thoughts and wonder why we can't move forward in our lives, or heal, or just find a moment of peace within ourselves. Imagine that. All that pain and suffering because we were never taught to notice or question our own thoughts.

Today I will wake up to thought. I will step out of the thought bubbles of fear, anger, and all those sad stories the mind loves to tell. Today I will live free.
