There is a famous saying in neuroscience: ‘neurons that fire together wire together’. What they are explaining with this saying is how we come to think in a particular way.
When we are young and the plasticity in our brain is significantly more malleable, the story we hear about ourselves gets written. When we learn something new synapses are connecting, so our brain literally changes with new information. Billions of neurons fire when we are thinking, which is all the time. The more we think a thought, the more those neurons connect. Once they start to connect, all those other potential thoughts fade.
