Thoughts are not a thing nor are they fact.

A thing  is an object that one need not, cannot, or does not wish to give a specific name to: "that metal thing"; "things I'd like to buy".

You cannot take a thought out to measure, weigh or touch it. It is not a thing. A thought is a series of electrical impulses in your mind. When you focus on something, the thoughts relate to that thing. When you allow random thoughts to come into your mind, a lot of thoughts are just random pulses.

Thoughts impact you as a person depending on whether you accept them as truths or believe in their importance. Thoughts are tools to help you understand yourself in relation to how you see the world. Thoughts are not laws, not rules, just your opinion, your interpretation of how you interact with the world.

Your mind is your private place where you paint the colors of the world as you wish to see them. Your are an artist when it comes to choosing how you want to see the world. Your fears, your weaknesses, your strengths, your beliefs, your thoughts make the world mean what you expect it to mean.

Your are intellectual, emotional, spiritual, physical all at once. You cannot stop any of these things from being and influencing your mind or your thoughts. You may wish to be more objective, but you still have those qualities acting all at the same time.

Being objective or subjective is just a philosophical thought. Nice to think about them as being separate from each other, but in reality, never apart. Subjective and objective are philosophical ideals. Just some words that were invented to focus our minds on ideas, to relate to us the ideal of being.

I recently read an article that purported to show that thoughts were things. Not once did that article define thing as being an object.

Another article asked you to 'think with your heart', which is to say that don't think, just act impulsively.  According to that article, the expression "think with your heart" came from ancient times when it was believed that we thought with our heart instead of our mind. So to think with your heart is equivalent to saying the earth is flat.

No matter what happens to you, you are totally capable of thinking the thoughts you want. People live with tinnitus, a constant ringing in their ears caused by damage to the inner ear. How? By focusing on what they choose to do and think. You direct the focus where you want it. If you want to be driven crazy ,focus on the noise, real or imagined.

If you want to live life fully focus on thoughts of your choice. Thoughts are neither facts nor things. They are tools to understanding if you allow yourself to look at things and events from different points of view.
