Two Thoughts

 

Two Thoughts

Today, I'd like to take just a couple of minutes to talk about just a couple of things - two things, to be exact. And those two things are thoughts - two thoughts.

Here's something to consider: They say the human brain produces approximately 70,000 thoughts on an average day. Wow! Our brains are so busy. But busy doesn't necessarily mean productive, does it? And don't we want all our thoughts to be productive? Of course, there's a place for "down time", when we don't want to think at all - we just want to relax and chill out. But even then, we're having a thought. And when we're relaxed, we're probably thinking relaxed thoughts - good thoughts, soft thoughts, loving thoughts.

Aha! There we are - "loving thoughts". And there's the message here: we have a choice. We can choose every thought we have. And for every one of those 70,000 thoughts, we actually only have two! "What?!", you ask. "How can 70,000 thoughts be reduced to just two?"

It's quite simple. You see, there are really only two originating thoughts. There are thoughts of love, and there are thoughts of fear. Every single thought you have can be traced back to it's source - either love or fear.

Think about that. Take some of your thoughts, randomly, and think about them. Are they based on fear, or love? See how that works? It's amazing, isn't it? 

So now you know that you have only two thoughts, it's much simpler to choose to think from a foundation of love, instead of fear. Why not take a moment to make that choice? Because every loving thought you send out into the Universe, collects like thoughts, and sends them back to you. And all you have to do is say "Thank You."

You're Welcome!!

And here's an expert on loving thoughts: Neale Donald Walsch. In his Conversations with God series, Neale offers many reasons for and example of loving thoughts. This series of books was instrumental in bringing me from a place of fear thoughts to that wonderful place of love thoughts. It's well worth reading...check it out:

Here's a loving thought you can use to start every day with love:

"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings."
