You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. – James Lane Allen
This quote doesn’t quite fit with my experience of how Real Joe has come to be. It doesn’t take into account the vocation/calling aspect. Some of my ideas and ‘thoughts’ seem to come from somewhere else. That’s why I try to write “…it occurred to me…” rather than “I think…” because I’m never quite sure of the source and it helps to take my ego out of the picture– and that in turn helps keeps me open to the possibility that mistaken ideas and goofy thinking can creep into my head at any time. Uncertainty about which thoughts are really ‘mine’ seems to be a good approach. Or maybe not. 😉
