a thought, is it just a thought? it depends what you do with it. a thought doesn’t mean it’s going to come true, doesn’t mean that something bad will happen, doesn’t mean you’re compelled to act on it. a thought is a result of immeasurable things: emotional and mental baggage, lessons learned from past experience, past teachings from others or proximity to certain beliefs of others. let the thoughts flow, they come, they go. challenge the negative ones rather than acting on them to prevent mood fluctuations and misdoings based on thoughts alone. And as Buddha says, act only on the good ones.
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a [wo]man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him[her]. If a [wo]man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him[her] “ Buddha
