Meditations on God

Ideas feel personal.

When others compliment your ideas, you feel seen, appreciated, and understood.

When they criticize your ideas, you become hurt, angered, or self conscious.

The problem is that you think your ideas come from you.

Ideas may come to you, but they do not come from you.

You are not the source of the thoughts in your mind.

In fact, you are not the thoughts in your mind.
