Thoughts are optional

You weren’t born with your thoughts. You learned them.

Some from your caregivers.

Some from society and culture.

Some from fiction and stories about other people’s lives.

Some from your own experience.

All of them are optional.

All of them.

All.

If you want to learn how to assess your thoughts and decide which ones to keep and which ones to replace, I warmly recommend listening to the Excellent Rider podcast.

It’s made in a closet, but it will expand your mind.

No bad horses, only untrained riders 🐴
