You are what you think

You've heard the saying "you are what you eat"? Well, I think you are what you think.

Why am I thinking about this? Because I just had to endure a lengthy AND LOUD discussion between two pseudo-intellectuals at a Williams Coffee Pub. They were pontificating about numerous topics (none, which remotely intrigued the rest of the coffee patrons) and amazingly they were experts in every one of the subjects they spoke of. Now, I'm not sure if they were trying to impress each other, or those around them, but all I could think of was "would you two loon-balls kindly hush up"! (that was the editted version).

Please don't misunderstand me, I like a good intellectual chat session as much as the next guy (possibly more), but these guys could never live out even half of the discussions they just had - they just don't have that long to live! And if you can't live out your thoughts (dreams) or release someone else to do so, you are either wasting time or blowing the proverbial "butt-smoke". (that was also the editted version).

Life necessitates that eventually, if you are going to make a significant contribution to the world and to those around you, you will need to take you thoughts and act on them.

Your thoughts will become your actions - your actions will become your habits and eventually your life. You will become known for how you live, despite what your hopes and intentions are. It starts with your thoughts, realizing that these concepts are mutually inclusive and co-dependent.

Over the last few days I have had the chance to chat with a number of people who have the capacity to both think (dream) and then transform their dream into reality. And that is the difference between living your destiny and looking back at the end of your life and regretting what could have been.

You are what you think - so - thinkers unite! Think, chat, strategize and then get out there and live it!
