Because our minds are always working, we have thousands of thoughts each day. And while we don't usually think about it, our thoughts are powerful. This power comes from the fact that each thought is a step that gets laid down in front of us that makes a path taking us somewhere.
Although we live in a world that stimulates us, our reality comes from our thoughts that are the result of our values and norms and from the interpretation of the external stimuli. We deal with the world based upon our thoughts and, therefore, are limited in our reality.
So, become aware of your thoughts, whether they are the result of habit or you are responding to something outside yourslef. There is no downtime in your life - each one has an impact upon your life. Even the most fleeting of these thoughts matters because it leads you toward your future.

Thoughts are probably the most powerful thing that guides our lives each day. I agree that we should understand the power of thoughts. The job I find hard is having good thoughts or empowering thoughts. Lately, my thoughts have driven me in directions that are not very productive.
ReplyDeleteBrian, thanks for commenting. The idea is to work at understanding why you have those thoughts and to resolve the issues causing them. Then, the goal is to practice acquiring the habit of changing to positive thoughts.

ReplyDeleteWhat you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.
