Good thoughts

An intuition is nothing particularly mysterious. It’s a thought that has more depth than you’re able to recognize.

Much of your thinking is explicit and intentional. Yet a good portion of your best thinking occurs beneath your level of awareness, where valuable intuitions come from.

It can be frustrating when you’re trying too hard to think through a difficult situation and no good thoughts come to mind. Instead of trying so much, back off and give your mind the space and time to do its work.

Forced thinking is rarely the best thinking. You can attract more profound and valuable thoughts by directing your awareness elsewhere.

Focus on living your life, on being a positive force for others, on gratitude for the beauty and goodness in this world. Rather than seeking to summon your best thoughts directly, provide them an ideal environment.

All thinking occurs within a context. Instead of a needy, demanding context, create an appreciative, expansive context, and your good thoughts will surely come forth.
