You're going to receive thousands and thousands of messages, ads, notifications, texts, and other forms of communication today, all of them asking you to think about something somebody else wants you to think about. But you need to spend some time every single day thinking your own thoughts. Spending time thinking about some idea you have that's interesting to you, helpful to you, helpful to other people. It's not going to come naturally. Going with the flow isn't going to make it happen, because the flow is all directed towards other people's ideas. If you want more out of life, more success, more sense of purpose, more anything, you're going to have to carve out time to think for yourself.
