Are your thoughts your own?

Perspective is everything.

By the way, people don't shape their perspective. Their perspective is shaped by the world.

So when I asked where do thoughts come from, I sort of realized, oh my God, 70 to 80 to maybe 90% of my thinking is not my own.

It's my conditioning, it's from my childhood, it's what I'm watching on TV, it's Hollywood, Bollywood, what people say, what I've read, it's not my own.

Oh my God, my perspective is worth my own.

Then you start to realize, what is my own?

And so that, that thing about perspective led me down this path to start spending time figuring out what is why and what is why and what is why.

That's a tough thing to do and the question is how do you do that?
