22 APRIL 2024 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Thoughts by Tim Connor I have discussed the concept of controlling your thoughts on multiple occasions, so rather than be redundant, I want to share a different perspective about this critical concept. Yes, our thoughts contribute to all of our actions, decisions, choices, attitudes, and everything else in life. Why do they have such an impact? The average person thinks over 6000 thoughts every day, but my question is: Why do they think about the ones they do? During every day, you can think about your success, relationships, mistakes, what you are going to eat, your fears of the future, regrets of the past, career, friends - enough! We all can and do think daily about these and many more topics. So, why do we choose the thoughts we select to think about, or why does the mind choose the ones it does? Our mind is the most complicated device in the world. It has been studied for thousands of years and we still know extraordinarily little about it. What we do know is we can learn to control it, or we will let it control us. The difference is a conscious choice to begin to think controlled thoughts rather than random ones. Random ones come and go quickly. Controlled ones are selected and chosen by our conscious awareness to try and control the impact they have on our lives. This topic fills hundreds of terrific books written over the centuries, but they all come to the same conclusion. Taking control of your thoughts equals taking control of your life. Thinking randomly all day and every day will create a life of chaos, uncertainty, poor health, fear, and disappointment. My recommended reading list (I share with everyone when asked), has about 25 books to help you manage your thoughts in a positive way for a more contented, peaceful, and happy life. Just ask me for the list. In His service, Tim Tim Connor may be contacted via e-mail to michele@worldwidedrillingresource.com
