POSITIVITY WITH SUBSTANCE

New thoughts have to come from a fearless spirit; many will try to limit them and limit you

I came across Sylvia Love Johnson’s piece on the inspiration to be had from Elon Musk and started to look into what she was doing and I said to myself, yes, this is unique. No mistaking the power. She had me with the lines:

we have between 12.000 and 60.000 thoughts per day, 80% of the thoughts are negative, and 95% of the thoughts are exactly the same thoughts we had the day before.

— now that’s important stuff to know. Intuitively I believe it, especially the part about 95% of our thoughts being the same as yesterday’s. What happens within the 5%? What about if we get to 10% fresh thoughts? At 25% we’d probably blow the roof off anything that tried to contain us. Data like that is invaluable. Keep that sort of wisdom coming, Ms. Love Johnson. It’s not falling on deaf ears.
