“Your Mind – What You Think You Become”
“You think about 60,000 thoughts a day. It’s up to you to make sure that you don’t use up 59,999 of them with negative, cynical thinking.
So next time, before you start to think something negative, just think about that … and this: Your brain has 1000 billion cells – and each of these little babies is connected to at least 20,000 other cells. The variety of potential combinations of all these is more multitudinous than the number of molecules existing in the entire universe! So, if you have that many different combinations of brain cells to choose from, why not try a new combo today? (Karen Salmansohn, how to be HAPPY, dammit, a cynic’s guide to spiritual happiness)
