One Thought Can Change The World So What Are Yours?

While the typical notion of changing the world comes with the feeling of uncertainty and incredible amounts of weight placed on your shoulders, it doesn't have to be.

Instead, I like to think that everyone changes the world.

Whether you know it or not, there is a trickling effect of thoughts that most never notice, but everyone is influenced by.

How One Thought Shapes Everything Around Us

Have you ever had a thought that was truly groundbreaking?

One that completely altered the state of your existence.

It could be a defining moment, listening to or reading a book, or just free writing in your journal.

These are what I call formative thought.

They aren't necessarily anything you try to come by, but something that changes and defines who you are for the time being.

Which isn't to say they can't be altered, as anyone practicing intellectual honesty will continually alter and shape beliefs over time.

Although, these are world shaping thoughts.

And not just from your perspective.

What Happens After A Formative Thought?

Your life changes.

You realize a truth, one that you hadn't seen before, so real that it can make you someone entirely different.

And then that truth becomes the truth within your reality.

Maybe that means things align for you within your mental state, or maybe that means quite literally you understand how to proceed with actions in a better way.

What it indeed does is changes everything.

Not just you, but the people around you and the people around them.

What do I mean?

How One Thought Changes The World

By thinking this thought, you interact with it.

Not from a metaphysical experiential way, but from a literal synaptic nerve firing.

This then allows you to talk about it, share it, or act entirely differently around people.

Which then changes their thinking and their behavior.

Just like a pandemic, this moves to the next person, and the person after, and their friends and subsequently we end up with a contagious thought that infects the world.

This is one of the reasons Facebook proliferated.

It changed everyone's thoughts and allowed people to see what others were thinking.

And its the reason for the development of the world wide web as a map of thoughts and ideas that people could interact with.

Now how does this play into our life?

Think Better Thoughts

That is the simple and easy answer.

Just simply think better thought, and you can change everything.

Now don't go crazy, but the mind is like a garden.

Tending the weeds, allowing them to be fertilizer and fuel for the flowers is something to be desired.

And once you can allow bad thoughts to spark good ones, you can spread the best intentions in the world.

Thoughts are so powerful that books are outlawed in every country, because of the fear of those in power allowing those not in power to think differently.

Its why LSD is illegal and thinking freely is one of the meanings of life.

So just think better thoughts,

Austin
