Hi Steemians!
A thought is at first an idea conceived in the creative process of our mind. These thoughts are gusts of wind in the beginning, but each grow to be unique burdens that we have to bear in life, for a thought cannot be killed; not once it has made a home in your brain.
Not every thought is necessarily decent or pleasant. Sometimes we come up with ideas that even repel our own selves. Some thoughts are useful and constructive, while others can be devastatingly harmful and fallacious.
There only remains one question: How can you tell the difference between a useful thought backed up by reason and a harmful one backed up by unreliable emotions?
To understand the nature of a thought is a difficult and challenging process. Some ideas are so inherently hardwired into our mind and thought process that we cannot easily trace their origins back to where they formed. For instance, imagine a person who believes that life is cruel.
That person truly believes that with absolute surety, regardless of what you might have to say to dissuade him from that belief. Because for that person, nothing rings truer than the idea that life is cruel.
Why? Because that person has lived most of his life growing that conception; that life is cruel.
The seed has had plenty of time to find its deep roots at the core of the existence of said person. Now you may begin to understand why ideas and thoughts can be so dangerous and destructive.
Because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if your thought is right or wrong, or if it is backed up by imperial evidence and reason. What matters is how much you have spent growing it in your mind. That thought becomes your reality, regardless of its validity and legitimacy.
Some people fall into the trap of misconception. For instance, a person might think that a life well lived is one in which you spend every hour of every day doing what you love. But if realism has anything to say in the matter, sometimes you have to do things that you do not necessarily enjoy in order to arrive at the place that you want to be.
We have already discussed the greatest parasite on the face of this society; the idea that we are all victims of fate or chance. That life is not fair, and that the people in our life are in any way to blame for the things that happen to us. This is also another misconception of the mind.
These delusions first start as an innocent idea that you may entertain for a while, but if given enough time and attention, they can all turn to parasites that haunt you forever. You may reach a point when no possible argument of any sane merit can help you find your way to the light again.
That is why you need to be mindful of the thoughts that shape in your mind. Do not ignore or neglect them. Do not fall into the trap of thinking that they are not important or that they will go away.
If a thought is bothering you or giving you sleepless nights, face it head on and try to find your way out of the darkness using reason and solid evidence. If you feel like a thought is having a negative impact on your mood and your conscious-self, deal with it and eradicate that thought and its impact as fast as possible.
Thinking is the first step towards enlightenment, but poisonous thoughts are seeds of doubt and fear that will in time ruin your life and destroy your dreams.
Starting today, be wary of everything that comes to your mind!
A BIG HUG!

Our mind is full of thoughts of good and bad both types. We need to use all the positive thoughts in productive direction and it will help us to grow. On the other hand about negative thoughts we need to ignore and should not work on them. You rightly said that Not every thought is necessarily decent or pleasant. Sometimes we come up with ideas that even repel our own selves it's our call to use our thoughts in positive direction. Thanks for the nice post @chbartist
Resteemed.

Sir, you are right. There are many types of thoughts in our mind. Some give us pain and some come to feel the strength in the coming time and this is very important.

You are right about the thoughts that come. Thoughts release dopamine. We can become addicted to certain types of thoughts. If we spend our time thinking negative thoughts, we are training our mind to focus on the negative.

True friend @chbartist,All life is molded in the form of his thoughts. All life is manifested in accordance with internal thoughts. According to the reason, it is a definite rule of nature that the person is in the same way as the outside, A lot of the high or low status within man can be found by looking at its external appearance
Thank you

The mind or thoughts, is the terrain that the enemy likes the most, to attack people ... a small idea or a small thought-feeling that stays begins to do its part in the mind, and to work on that even though we think that has no effect on our lives ... that is why, the importance of taking care of our thoughts, our minds ... so that then that little negative thought does not become a monster that takes over our lives.

As a man thinks, in his heart, so he is. My mother taught me that "thoughts" are things. And you must answer those things. In other words, when a negative thought comes to you, you must fight against it. You cannot let certain thoughts linger in your mind. You can't just give in to it. You then must anwer that thought with God's Word and truth.

It's a very good post. Sir, you are right that there are many ideas in our mind that always keep upset and there are many who inspire us to move forward, just waiting for us to recognize them and The bad ideas should not have been allowed to move forward, we should end up or not think much about it.
Thank you

There is a saying in my country - if you killed a person in your mind, you are a murderer.
I learned it from the childhood how harmful our negative thought is for our life. And that learning is a blessing.
I also often give a thought to do wrong to some certain people, who may not hurt me personally but in a bigger way they sucks. But those negative thought does not help me to get rid of my problem. Rather effects on my other thought passively.
Your words helped me to realize some other pros and cons of it.
Thanks for your writing.

@chbartist Why not ? Because our mind work on our thoughts. What we think and how we think ? Good thoughts are like panacea for our life but bad thoughts can easily ruin our life . And reaction of bad thoughts is very fast than adopting good thoughts.

I remember reading something many years ago, I want to say it was St Augustine or something, where he mentioned a process to discern good thoughts (from God, in his case) and 'bad'.
Many years later, when I was no longer Catholic but studying buddhism I found it interesting that the process was very much like what we now call 'mindfullness'

Well said sir thoughts are the origen. Everything depends on thoughts, an idea could be billion dollars idea. We have to always think positive and keep our mind in out from negativity.
Thoughts are directly related to success. If we think negative then nobody can help us to achieve our Target or goal. Be positive and let positive.
Thanks for this awesome article

I am a Muslim and I have the best thing which is Prayer. This helps me get rid of bad thoughts.

Does it really help? Prayer i mean, does it help more then meditation?
i’m asking because i’m interested, in general you would call an atheist (though i do believe there’s lot’s of proof of intelligent design in the universe)
i believe that the current belief systems we have on earth, have been, and still are used for a certain ‘elite’ to gain power & control, and those instruments are being used to opress people.
Because if you think about it, wars are being fought in the name of religion. People (god’s creatures) are being killed because of those wars.
I believe we have all something godly inside of us, good and evil, living in syncopation inside of us, and each and every human on this earth, we are all brothers and sisters, created of stardust.

Absolutely yes. It is better than meditation. If you have true teachings of Islam and you become a Muslim by heart then you can get the true results of prayer. For us, we pray 5 times a day and that prayer is actually a communication with Allah (GOD). If you want real peace in this life and afterlife you should join Islam. If you join Islam by Heart then I can Guarantee you a better place in this world and Paradise in afterlife.

5 times a day, how on earth do you find the time for work?
But like i stated in my previous comment, i have my own belief system, and it has got nothing to do with any known belief system on earth. Like Islam, Christian, Jew etc
My system comes from the heart, soul and it opens up the mind. At least that is how i feel about it ...

I was watching a television program where a psychologist said that the wounds that we have are the window through which we see the world, and that is why many people do not finish overcoming their personal problems. This may be a good reason to exercise the mind to learn to choose our thoughts, because the more we allow them to sink, the harder it will be to get up from the present problem and future falls.

I have found that it is important to start each day by giving thanks and expressing gratitude. I have learned that no matter what we are going through, there is still something to be grateful. I try to find 5 things to be grateful for each day. I also try to find someone to encourage daily. By cultivating a atmospere of gratittude / thanksgiving we strengthen ourselves and draw positive people into our sphere of influence. Please include me in the thread.

Dear @chbartist sir!
Poisonous thoughts are symbols of our negative mentality. Poisonous thoughts arise in our hearts only when we are solitary or do not share our thoughts with others. Many people have heard from the mouth that lives is useless. In fact, we are disappointed in life, because of our negative thoughts. It has often been seen that the number of people around us is positive thinking about something negative some of them. Because we spend a lot of time with them, so their thoughts become natural in our thoughts. We can not control the thoughts of others but can control ourselves. So keep your thoughts positive and stay away from people with negative thoughts.

Certainly some thoughts can be poisonous, so it is important to communicate with other people to help us see another point of view of the events of daily life. Negative thoughts rooted in the subconscious mind are difficult to detect on our own, so it is important to ask for help when we are not able to bring them to consciousness.

As with most of your steemit posts, a very, very interesting subject ...@chbartist.
But this time, it’s the kind of subject that i have to read another two times (which i don’t have the time for right now) to really let it sink in, and dig deeper into what you saying and meaning (one of the downsides of not being a native English speaker)
I do like the subject of your post, because these idea’s have a lot do do with the belief that your idea’s can manifest into reality
One thing is for sure, and a reality, and that’s mankind still doesn’t know enough about the human brain, to really undestand the sophisticated godly machine that we are ....
And untill that moment, we should stay the f**k away from AI ...(as a sidenote)
Looking forward to your next write up.

I think we should always be watchful and in control of what we allow to dominate our minds. Because even good thoughts can turn into piosonous if their left unchecked. They become an obsession which does not other useful ideas or fantasy void of reality or wishful thinking void of work

Your posts always seem to have me connect to it on some level... I think this is because I spend so much time in my head because of both positive and negative thought, that I believe I have found a balance between the two.
I have been to a psychologist and a psychiatrist and both have told me the same thing... I don't like to speak the thoughts in my head and I bottle up my feelings. This is by choice though, because I feel as though if I were to speak the truth and what I truly feel, a lot of people would be offended and there is so much negativity in my head already that I don't want it to be in my daily life and conversations as well. So I keep this facade up and make sure I say the right things so that only positive vibes are given off from any convo that I am in to balance out the negativity I truly feel...
I understand though that this is truly harmful for the metal state and for my health, but I cannot seem to find a good release, so I continue on this path that I am on because I find that I have become used to it... :(
This is a great post as usual @chbartist :)

This is a great write up @chbartist. YES In life we actually become a true reflection of the kind of seeds we have planted in our minds over time. Your current physical reflection is the effect of the sum total of both the positive and negative seeds you have planted and watered to grow in your life. So it is a great call of action for us to watch with all diligence what we allow into our minds today because they will be the producers of our fruits tomorrow.
Be careful of the SEED you receive in your MIND Today.
