I have recently hit on a theme in my conversations with others and in my own reflections, where we are afraid to think our thoughts; we are afraid of what we will find if we were to be completely honest with ourselves and expose our deepest thoughts. We are worried what our mind will reveal about us.

But the truth is that we are not our minds. We are not defined by the thoughts in our head. Thoughts are just functions of the brain - receptors firing off feedback from different inputs gathered through our senses. And yet we place so much weight on those thoughts because that is how we conceptualize ourselves and our lives. That is how we function. But who we are is so much deeper than our thoughts.
