It’s not the situation. It’s your reaction.

Chapter 3

Why do we think?

“I think and think and think, I’ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.”

Our minds do an incredible job of keeping us alive, but it does not allow us to thrive. It is concerned solely with our safety and survival, not fulfillment or joy.

The mind’s job is to alert us of potential dangers in our environment that may threaten our lives. It does its job so well that not only will it scan our immediate surroundings for threats, but it will even reference our backlog of past experiences to create hypothetical scenarios and predict what it thinks could be future potential dangers based on our memories. <— THIS IS THE ONEEEE.

If we keep using our minds, we will constantly stay in a state if fight or flight, anxiety, fear, frustration, depression, anger, resentment, and all negative emotions because the mind thinks EVERYTHING IS A THREAT TO OUR VERY EXISTENCE.

If you want to be free, happy, peaceful, and full of love, then you will need to let go of listening only to your mind and go beyond it by tuning into something much greater that will help you not just to survive, but to thrive.

Chapter 4

Thought vs Thinking

Thinking is actively engaging with the thoughts in your mind. You don’t have to engage with each thought in your mind but when you do, that is thinking. Thinking is the root cause of all our psychological suffering.

We may think that thinking is helping us, but all it’s doing is causing us to feel all these negative, unwanted emotions and making us create reasons why we can’t do it or why we shouldn’t want it.

Thoughts create. Thinking destroys.

Without thinking, we prevent all negative programming and judgements from tarnishing the initial though of what you want to create.
