Sometimes when you reach into your pocket you are surprised to find some loose change. It may not amount to much, but it is somehow reassuring. Its money for goodness sake. If you are smart, you take it out of your pocket and put in a glass piggy bank. Actually, any piggy bank will do. Even though it seems at first the loose change does not amount to much, if you put it aside, as into the belly of pink ceramic piggy bank (like I have) it will one day add up and be a tidy little sum
It occurred to me when I found some loose change in my pocket a while ago that thoughts are like that. You find them drifting through your mind all the time. You grasp onto some thoughts and you let others drift on by. Constant and never-ending, the river of thoughts flows through your mind. It is up to you to what your thoughts add up to at the end of the day.
Loose change becomes large somes of money. Random thoughts become great ideas. If you collect your thoughts, just as when you save your pennies, they become much more. Hold onto the best thoughts you have and cultivate them into something worthy. And then the trick is determining which of your thoughts are the ones you need to give hang onto.
