What's your plans?



We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept that one that is waiting for us. --Joseph Campbell

What's on your mind?


Facebook, believe it or not, asks you this question every single time you sign on and look at your profile or home page.  It is in the empty space of your status.  I looked at the question and haven't really thought much about it up until last night.  I thought to myself, "What is on your mind, Ryan?"  This is more rhetorical than anything, but the deeper inquiry lies in the question: "What's on your mind when you're not consciously thinking about something?"  In other words, what does your mind gravitate to naturally?  Once you figure that out, what does this say about your thought pattern?  Obviously Facebook isn't really wanting to know your deep most inner thoughts, but it made me think about the question in general.  Not really much to comment on from my personal artillery of thoughts, but it made me think about the focus of people's minds.  Do most people worry all the time?  Skip worry by overriding their mind with positive thoughts?  Are there thoughts in the back of your mind that you're aware of but just aren't dealing with?  Do you ever come to terms with those thoughts?  Ready, go.
