Are the Thoughts Guiding You Your Own?

Are the Thoughts Guiding You Your Own?

Are the thoughts guiding you everyday your own? How can you tell if they’re yours? Who cares if they are? (just kidding)

It’s common knowledge that most of our ‘filters’ , opinions, perspective and more are created by the time we’re 6 or 7. We are like sponges and we pay special attention to our families  during these growth years.

Have some fun paying attention to your thoughts over the next few days and see if you can discern their origin. Of course many of them are yours, but you’ll be surprised by those that belong to your mother, father or brother.

I have friends who are 2 elderly sisters and are obvious about their thoughts and associations.  They say”Mother always said to use just 1 cup of sugar” . It is surprising to me when they say these things.

Imagine 2 women in their late 80’s instantly associating berry pie to their mother’s advice. Endearing.
