What is a thought?

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

“Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.” ~~Plato

THINK!

What is a thought? Scientifically speaking, it is nothing more than a random electrical impulse in the brain. If you are relaxing, not focusing on any particular thoughts, your brain continues to fire off those random impulses which, in turn, are triggering random, unfocused thoughts – like the itch on your arm, how hummingbirds fly, or your neighbor’s lovely flowers.

Everything tangible in our world today was created by an action, preceded by someone’s thought:  your smartphone’s touch screen, a home’s easy-to-clean windows, and the folding chair you take to the beach all came into existence as the result of a single focused thought. Henry Ford thought about a V-8 engine for his cars, and then insisted that his engineers create it. Jonas Sauk thought about eliminating polio – and did.

Whether you choose to focus your thoughts or not, your day will be filled with them. They just don’t stop. But wait – there’s an “Aha!” or a “Voila!” in here for you. Just think of the possibilities when you realize the power of thought – and put it to work for you. The amazing thing about thoughts is that most of us have control over them. You either put these electrical impulses to work through focused attention, or they happen anyway, but in a random, impotent manner akin to a static electrical discharge.

They don’t have to be life-changing or global in scope to make your personal world better. They need only be focused.  So, next time a creative blip goes through your mind, grab it, and think! You never know–that blip can turn into something big!

So – what thoughts will you be having today?
