 A typical human has 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts a day. If we take an average of 70,000 thoughts per day, that would amount to approximately 25,550,000 thoughts in a year. Assuming an average lifespan of around 80 years, the estimated number of thoughts over a lifetime would be roughly 2,044,000,000 or 2 billion. The bad news: some studies suggest that a significant portion of our thoughts can lean toward the negative side. Imagine if even 10% of the thoughts we have are negative; that's 7,000 thoughts a day or 7,000 chances to ruin our day! Negative thoughts can have a stronger emotional impact compared to positive ones. Negative emotions, such as fear, stress, or sadness, often trigger more intense physiological and psychological responses. This can influence our overall well-being, stress levels, and even physical health. Have you ever pondered why we tend to recall traumatic experiences more vividly than positive ones? Emotions serve as a potent tool in conditioning our subconscious mind. Stronger emotional associations with events or people enhance our memory, leading to the formation of triggers that cause unconscious reactions to specific stimuli. The good news: no matter how many negative thoughts you might have, a significant portion, if not the majority, could potentially be neutral or positive. In simpler terms, while 7,000 may seem substantial, 63,000 is an even greater number! This abundance of opportunities increases the likelihood of having a better day. That's likely why most people experience days ranging from okay to great—there's not just hope but a tremendous amount of it for all of us! Consequently, cultivating a positive mindset can be beneficial for mental and emotional health. The quality of our life depends on the quality of our thoughts. - Feelasoulphy

 Redwood Trees in Aptos, CA We aren't meant to single-handedly transform someone entirely, much like how we can't claim sole credit for growing a tree. Whether we're the seeder, soil, water, sun, insects, or birds, each plays a crucial role in the tree's growth. Attempting to take full responsibility for the entire process is egotistical; it's more effective to focus on our part, letting others contribute to the rest of the journey. Just as too much water or sun can harm a tree, recognizing our limits and embracing a collaborative approach is key to meaningful progress. - Feelasoulphy  North Greenland Sea In a world where more than 99.99% remains imperceptible to our eyes, many of us devote nearly 100% of our lives to the tangible, accounting for less than 0.001% of what truly holds significance. The disparity raises a poignant question: How much of life's profound essence eludes our attention? The arithmetic of this contemplation is deceptively simple yet yields a profound perspective on the vast unseen realms we may be overlooking. - Feelasoulphy  Here’s a thought for those who believe that things happen for a (good) reason. If things do indeed happen for a reason, then the right thoughts will arise in the mind, the right actions will be taken at the right time, and the right people will show up to receive our deeds, creating a perfect butterfly effect. Consequently, what’s there to worry about after all? Would there be any wrong thoughts, wrong timing, wrong people, wrong actions, or wrong results? Shouldn’t our minds be at ease by knowing this fact? Should we think in terms of right or wrong, or simply accept what is? - Feelasoulphy  The quickest way to wake up from sleep is by sudden force. In shock, your body and your mind become conscious almost instantly. Sometimes pain maybe the best force you need to be awakened from your life. - Feelasoulphy  Silence your mind so you can listen to your heart. - Feelasoulphy  When you are fully awakened you don’t need to see everything to know everything. Buddha was more awake than anyone with his eyes closed. - FeelaSoulphy  Death is not the end but a new beginning. At birth, we start the process of remembering. Our knowing and our memories of who we truly are being recovered as life progresses. At death, we finally fully awake from our dreams. - FeelaSoulphy |
