Thought is a wonderful tool. I would rather put it as, a wonderful and powerful tool. It is indeed powerful, how thoughts take us to different heights, we are diverted from mundane, trivialities, and taken to lofty ideals. This same power sometimes make us overly analytical that what would have been a beautiful, emotional, natural interaction is reduced to an indifferent exchange.
This is because of that fear of rejection, the feeling of making one’s feelings known, the feeling of showing one’s weakness, one’s vulnerability. Not realizing that such displays makes us even stronger. All said and done, thoughts are the powerhouse. The force behind any individual. It's what separates one from another. I think it's a wonderful freedom of expression, whether in public or private. The ability to think is what makes us human. Your mind is one place where nobody can intervene (unless you're ready to believe in mind readers, mind freaks etc!) or invade. It's your personal space. Thoughts often lay down the foundation for ideas. A thought pondered consciously over time might become our best thought.
The fact is that people who think for themselves are independent, capable individuals who can achieve just about anything. People who allow societal norms or other people to do their thinking for them (negative thinking) quickly become dependent and unable to move forward in their lives.
When looked at in this vein it becomes clear that the ability to develop, manage, and maintain your own thinking tends towards greater personal freedom. That power to think is the basis on which greater achievement is possible.

The result of positive, empowered thinking might, indeed, be that you are healthier, happier, or wealthier, but the real benefit is that you are a free, empowered person. Negative thinking, which is really synonymous with not having command of your own thoughts, is extremely dis empowering – even debilitating. Why? Think about when a negative thought comes to mind. The emotions and feelings associated with the thought start to rise. Who is in control at that moment; you or the negative thought?
