There are only a few unique thoughts a person has in a day. I am not sure about the statistic, but I know there is research out there. The rest is like your favorite movie. I can’t tell you the number of times I have watched Pretty Woman. I know every move and word. I watched it with my best friend. She would be Richard Gere and I would be Julia Roberts. We were obsessed.

Seems like that is part of the way the mind works. It finds something and puts it on repeat. Is it just the nature of the mind and if we aren’t careful we will get mixed up in the movie? The line between commitment and obsession is hard to determine. One day I care about making good grades and the next day I am consumed. One day I care about my relationship and the next day I am consumed. This can go for work, TV shows, etc. Even our culture reflects this impulse.
