Some thoughts can be controlled, others not so much.
Many thoughts are simply reactive in nature, coming and going as we experience life.
While many worry about their thoughts, there is a certain futility to this, especially considering the ones which cannot be avoided.
Instead, we should take careful consideration as to the action taken after these thoughts occur.
A bad idea or toxic thought, however negative it may be, remains only an idea if we never act on it or let it influence subsequent choices.
While this is most certainly easier said than done, it allows us to live life in a manner which produces positive results, even amid a slew of negative thoughts and influences.
