That is about 150 to 300 thoughts a minute.
Research has also shown that 80% of those thoughts are negative.
It gets worse. Whatever you are thinking about, 90% gets carried over to the next day's 51,000 thoughts.
Think about this for a minute...
Which thoughts are worth thinking?
"Thoughts are free and subject to no rule. On them rests the freedom of man, and they tower above the light of nature...create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy from which new arts flow."
Paracelsus (1493-1541)
You'll become much more aware of your thoughts after reading "The Jackrabbit Factor" by Leslie Householder.
In her story Leslie describes a man "who wanted to give up on a dream, but decided to take one more step." This beautiful story takes you on a journey about thought and how it shapes your reality.
It also became clear to me why you can't time the arrival of your "wants". Leslie calls this the "gestation period", most things on this planet experience this gestation (without even thinking about it). When the time (or thought) is right...
I thought I was aware of most of my thoughts, but now that "I" am monitoring them closely I see certain patterns and a relation between my thoughts and beliefs and I can imagine how this reflects in my subconscious. The scare has turned into acceptance of my own reality and inspiration. I can think new thoughts and be more involved/empowered in the creation of my own reality.
"Great men are they who see that spiritual thought is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking. ~Voltaire
One more food for thought:
Invest a few moments in thinking. It will pay good interest. ~Author Unknown
You are in my thoughts,
Love, Mo
PS: After I posted this blog I went to pick up my daughter from school, as I walked to my car I saw my only bumper sticker I bought a few months ago, it says: "Don't believe everything you think"...
