It is common knowledge that thoughts and actions make life the way it is. It could not be differently, as everybody thinks and acts all the time, or most of the time. But...how many ask themselves this very important question: "Is this thought (or this action) beneficial to me or is it harmful?". The fact is that human beings, and possibly you as well, tend to entertain thoughts without wondering about their impact on the deepest part of themselves. Remind yourself of the last thought that was in your mind before you started reading this. Try to pinpoint the topic, the memory, the plan, the wish, or the craving that fills your mind regularly. Is it beneficial or harmful to your mood, to your feelings, to your behavior? And the way you act habitually? And the words you use in addressing others and yourself? It seems a very simple question, but it isn't. Awareness is not the same as wisdom (as addiction shows).
