I try to hard recognize my "thoughts'. I try to be present with them in that, if a bad one comes in my head, I recognize it, remind my self it's a thought and if I let it go any further my reality is going to suck. I'd consider myself a "glass half full" kinda' guy. For instance, when someone flies by me speeding like a maniac, I usually just think: "Eh, maybe he's prairie doggin' and he's gotta' poop really bad" When it comes to business building, creating content, putting your "thoughts" in front of people it takes a certain level of "mental fortitude" I never think: "I hope people think this is good" I always think: "I hope this finds and helps the right person" If there's 1 thing I've learned about thoughts: A Thought creates an action, an action creates a result, and that result is your reality. EX: Thought "Daaaammmn, that girl is beautiful maybe I should talk to her" So you walk over and talk to her, you hit it off, you get her number. Now you're married with 2 kids. That thought created an action, which created a result, and now that's your reality. What do you think about thoughts?
