Does This Thought Deserve To Be Here?
Mind As Real Estate
Your mind is the most valuable piece of real estate in the world.
Your attention is limited. What you give your attention to is what you give your energy, your life force to.
Any thought that’s hanging around in your head needs to deserve to be there.
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind.
— Marcus Aurelius
Spend a bit of time thinking about what you would like to think about and less time rushing to act. Action drives out thought. When you rush to use your phone first thing in the morning, your thoughts will become dictated by the stimulus you get from social media. You will get less quality thinking that will set the tone for the rest of your day.
In a hyper connected world where smartphones now play a major role in life and influence the thoughts that occupy our minds, it’s become even more important to keep our inner world protected from unnecessary stimulus.
