Your thoughts are powerful.
If your life doesn’t look like what you are dreaming of, it means you have thoughts that are going against you. Your thoughts create your life. If you want to change your life, change your thoughts. Because your mind belongs to you.
Never think a thought you don’t want to happen which means you need to be careful you never think a thought you don’t want become true. Which means don’t think negative about yourself. If you don’t want to be fat, stop rehearsing in your mind you are. If you don’t want to lose your bf/ gf stop thinking of the possibility. Become a master of your life — master your thoughts.
There may be moments and situations that you can’t control. But if you learn to control your thoughts, your mood, your behaviour no longer depends on circumstances but on you. Choose kind, non-judgmental thoughts: we may not realise it but our life is on autopilot. Recycling our thoughts, attitudes, judgment, fear, dreams, hopes.
Now there are a few things we can keep on autopilot and still live life.
For e.g., exercise, sleep well, eat right, meditate, healthy sense of self we don’t think about it unless we have to change.
But living life in autopilot becomes dangerous ho when we encourage negative patterns of thoughts, emotions. How much we allow negativity to run on auto pilot is the degree to how powerless we are.
Create new healthy thoughts. There is a very famous Chinese proverb it’s a beautiful one –
Sow a thought reap an act,
Sow an act reap a habit,
Sow a habit reap character,
Sow character reap destiny.
Our thoughts determine the events that you attract in your life. the people you meet are a reflection of your thoughts. If you focus on your dreams and goals you will attract those in your life who are in a position to help you achieve those dreams and goals.
I want to share this story I read about how an army used the power of the mind to overcome their fear.
They were a small beautiful kingdom which was about to be invaded by a very powerful king. This powerful king had a huge army, very skilled soldiers. The small kingdom had a small army but the king loved how a kingdom. He was very passionate about everything he did for his kingdom and but naturally did not want to surrender and just give up his kingdom to the enemy. He knew his army was a small one and they were not motivated and had low morale but only because they were frightened. The enemy kingdoms army was a huge one and the small army was convinced that they would not be able to defeat them or beat them. Now the king had deep faith and belief in a very wise sage. The sage heard him out and understood his predicament. Advised him to make him the commander of his army. The king on hearing this was a bit apprehensive and reluctantly agreed. The soldiers in the army were however still nervous because they felt they were being led by a safe whom they presumed may not be the best choice as a commander of the army. Now they all assembled together and started their journey to battle. The wise sage stopped on the way and got into a temple. He went in offered his prayers and came out smiling and looking joyful and happy. He told the army that he had been assured by the Gods that they would win the battle. He told them they had to go fight the war. The soldiers on hearing this started feeling more confident. They fought bravely and won the war. On the way back they had to cross the same temple. They asked the safe to stop there so they could offer a thank you prayer. The safe looked at them and smiled. He told them it was always you, you fought bravely and with the conviction that you would win. It was this belief that made you win the war.
And it’s true isn’t it when they say
A man is but a product of his thoughts. what he thinks he becomes. So, make sure you are very careful about the thoughts that you entertain inside your head. Make sure they are positive thoughts filled with joy. Thoughts that will make you feel more abundant in your head space and your heart space. Here’s wishing you a very positive week ahead.
