When Not Every Thought Deserves My Attention

I'm not sure if what I'm doing is okay, I still do it anyways because it feels like my own, away from what people might say or think which doesn't define me as they make it seem. I have thoughts running my head all the time, both cool and weird thoughts and I still wonder if it's okay to ignore.

I ignore a lot of my thoughts, especially the ones that keep pushing me to take an action that I've never done before, actions that will have people around questioning my character from what they know about me before. Don't get me wrong, they are not all bad thoughts but they are also not me.

I know it's somewhat for one to ignore one's thoughts on a lot of things but I also know there are phases one reaches in life and some thoughts are just meant to be ignored for better thoughts to come to reality. I read a book that said lots about how our thoughts can be a reality.

But they are thoughts backed with desire, faith and consistency before they become a reality. That means, random thoughts have no power to become one's reality until I have the desire of it, build faith to claim it and I have to stay consistent in that faith to see it come to pass.

It made me wonder if ignoring these thoughts are keeping me from an interesting kind of life. Mind you, they are not really who I am right now and I'm still confused if they are who I want to become or it goes way beyond who I really want to be. I think I can be better than these thoughts.

I'm not going to share what the thoughts are exactly but I'm reminding myself here, what my mentor made me understand that I'll need to keep ignoring those thoughts when they come. First, I've figured they are only but distractions for me to lose sight of who really want to become.

So the plan right now, to silent these thoughts, is to have a clearer picture of who and where I am right now that I don't like anymore and who and where I want to be that I truly desire. I plan to do this while making sure I do what I enjoy, to silent any the distracting thoughts and be more real.

Really true, and I think everyone of us always have weird thoughts that comes around once in a while. Just that we shouldn't pay attention to some of them when they comes up
