A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts but the attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
I don’t let go of my thoughts- I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
We have thousands and thousands of thoughts every day. They came in so fast that we often don’t even realize what’s happening. Our mood can change because of something that has entered our mind from left field and yet it becomes something that is real. We believe our thoughts and carry them as if they have some value.
What if a thought could just be a thought? It comes in and it goes out? It’s just information. Try it today and see if you can stay unattached from your thoughts.
Today I am grateful for a wonderful visit with my brother and his family.
