From an Essay



“I think and think and think, I‘ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.” – Johnathan Safran Foer


I think.
I think I can’t stop thinking about something.

Forcing yourself to think about something else may work for a while, but I think that when the old, undesired thoughts you are trying to override creep back into your thoughts, they are as poignant and undesirable as always.

I think.
I think that people who talk less think more. This is ironic, of course, because it is easy to get the impression that someone who shares thoughts and ideas verbally and often is a deep thinker. I think this is less of the case than we realize.

I think.
I think if we are able to change our thoughts, this enables us to be able to change our attitude. Sincerely. Therefore, I try to think positive often and much. Thinking negatively does nothing but sprout negative results in your mind, body, and attitude. Surround yourself with positive people, and ideas, and positive thoughts will result.

“We are addicted to our thoughts. We cannot change anything if we cannot change our thinking.” –Santosh Kalwar
