Think Before You Speak

I was just reading an article where the arthur said that we should stop and take a look at our thoughts and know what they are really saying.  As I thought about that I realized that it was next to impossible for me to do.  How does one look at something that is a part of him?  Can we see our thoughts passing by our minds eye as if they were scrolling by on a screen?  If this was possible, then I can stop my thoughts and analyze them as often as needed and see them for what they are? Thoughts that were just something that the mind came up with in response to a stimulus of some kind.  It is only by looking at our thoughts in a different way than we normally do that which we are able to understand and their true meaning and intent.  Yes, we often think one thing and say or write something else.   Our minds thoughts streaming by without being stopped to analyze what they are.

However we might try checking our thoughts by writing them down.  Then we can see them as others might see them as we read what we have written.  We can even see if they are  coherent or are scattered without direction.

Far too many of us don't take the time to really think through our thoughts and ideas.  It seems that we have not written them down and sent on their way before making sure we have them right.  Most often it is only when other people talk to us about what we said or wrote that we take the time to look at our thoughts and try to figure them out.  Hopefully we are not too late to make things right.

It has been said that"thoughts are things" (Napoleon Hill).  Things that keep coming up in our lives to make us think and try to get things right.  No body wants to be around a person who always seems to be saying the wrong things at the wrong time.  The person who speaks before putting his mind in gear...

Now that you have an idea of how thoughts can affect your life; making life good for us or challenging, be careful what you say. Think  first, our spoken thoughts could come back on us  in a way that is definitely not good.
