Why did all the greats in history have journals? Galileo, Da Vinci, Einstein... Because they understood the power of thoughts. A single thought in the mind of a pioneer can change everything, for everyone throughout the indefinite future of mankind. But a thought is useless if it is not recorded, communicated, and disseminated. It can come as a revelation one moment and then the next pass as if it never were there.

What if we all wrote down all our thoughts? Would we be surprised to see the results? Of not only our own but of others? Would it not help us more clearly see the patterns of our lives and our inner fixations. Are our thoughts resonant of our desires or are they merely the surface--the busy work of our emotions?
