There’s no problem with having a weak thought, it’s certainly the behavior that may soon follow that thought that matters most.
Primary emotions and impulses originate in our lower “automatic brain” called the cerebellum, and frequently, if not most of the time, without our personal volition.
The cerebrum (the higher brain) is where we decide to give merit and eventual action to these involuntary emotions and impulses or to willingly redirect them in a more positive and constructive pattern of thought.
In other words, we can’t always control the initial emotion or impulse, but we certainly have the capacity to decide what to do with them, instead of simply following them.

Those with a lower tolerance for stimulation (up to 50% of us) would be wise to choose a job that reflects this predisposition. Within this aforementioned 50% there’s another 20% who find themselves “highly sensitive” and do not thrive at all even under moderate stimulation. This is an important personal quality many have that should not be ignored. To find meaning and enjoyment in our lives, it’s important to understand and listen to ourselves… to “know they self” is an important concept worthy of our time.

I have always considered internal objectives to be more important than external objectives and I recommend that you do the same. Work to improve from the inside out.
