Not everything that goes through your mind is true. Thinking is not the same as verifying. The mind constantly generates ideas, and many of them are not based on facts, but on fears, habits, or past experiences. Even so, they often present themselves as unquestionable truths. The problem is not thinking, it is believing without checking. When you accept everything that appears in your mind as valid, you give up judgment and hand control over to a system that does not always work in your favor.

The mind lies, and sometimes it does so with a voice of authority. It uses memories, emotions, and assumptions to build narratives that seem logical, but are not. Learning to detect this is key. It is not about fighting thoughts, but about observing them and deciding whether they deserve to be believed. Thinking less is not the solution. Thinking better is. Separating what is a fact from what is only an interpretation changes the way you relate to yourself and to the world.
