Questions of Control--Part II The Crap Filter

There is a saying, “Don’t believe everything you think.” Here is the thing though; we all believe everything we think. If we think something long enough and frequently enough then we believe it. It works the same for all of us. Is that really so bad? I guess not as long as what we think isn’t a bunch of crap. I personally need a crap filter fairly often, most days in fact.

With persistence what we think becomes our reality. We not only act on that reality we make it happen; we create it.

Maybe the saying should be, “Believe everything you think; you already do anyway. Just clean your crap filter regularly.” Since we already believe everything we think anyway the challenge isn’t to stop believing what we think the challenge is to take control of the crap filter. The challenge for control in my life isn’t about controlling other people or controlling what happens to me, the challenge is to manage what I think.

It is the weekend. Drive your car carefully. Ride with people who drive carefully. Treat yourself with respect. Spend time with people who treat you with respect. Treat other people with respect. Talk nice to yourself; you deserve it. I look forward to hearing from you or seeing you. Keep yourself whole physically and emotionally. Enjoy your weekend.
