5 Key Points from Don’t Believe Everything You Think (Joseph Nguyen)

1. Just like how there are no wrong keys on the piano, there are no “wrong” decisions in life. There are only thoughts that give us pleasant or not-so-pleasant feelings. When we put things into a bucket of right or wrong, good or bad, this creates duality and conditions in our life, which ultimately determine how we feel.
2. When you are doing your best work and are in a total state of flow, where there is no separation between you or the work you are doing, you are having no thoughts at the moment. And if you are having thoughts, it’s just flowing right through you without you having to think about it.
3. If you want to be free, happy, peaceful, and full of love, then you will need to let go of listening only to your mind and go beyond it by tuning into something much greater that will help you not just to survive, but to thrive.
4. Thoughts create. Thinking destroys. The reason thinking destroys is because as soon as we begin to think about the thoughts, we cast our own limiting beliefs, judgments, criticisms, programming, and conditioning onto the thought, thinking of infinite reasons as to why we can’t do it and why we can’t have it.
5. The root cause of our suffering is our own thinking.
