Introspection

Marco Aurelio wrote to himself that “all is as thinking makes it so.” Every time you repeat a thought, you help create a neurological pathway in your mind. With enough repetition, you can turn a lane into a boulevard. But just where does that boulevard lead to?

Do we excessively think about the wrong things, about things that take us nowhere? Are we trapped in a cul de sac that doesn’t permit options to be explored? Should we take our thoughts on The Tour of Other Possibilities?

Ideals give us a direction and, without direction, it’s easy to get lost.
