WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS
Over the last few years, I have committed myself in becoming a student of Personal Development and to the many or numerous material that all seek to engage and instigate the elevation of a man’s being and awareness through the improvement of personal thought and the processes that govern such. I have never ever before known nor seen the value of such until one day, a multi-millionaire gave me a book to read, which was entitled, “The Magic of Thinking Big”. At that particular time in my life, I recalled was a state of searching for “the answer” for I was on a quest for more as I was being introduced to a new business. In actuality, that book blew my mind. Then followed others such as, “Attitude is Everything” by Jeff Keller; and the “Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale; and yet others such as Think and Grow Rich, The Og Mandino Series etc.
Today I continue to be shaped and elevated in many ways as I recommit daily to be a student of Personal Development and Growth. But the one thing that shaped my mind and impacted me the most is the reason for this article, and why I wish to share this with you. What I am going to share with you, if you realize it, if you embrace it, if you commit it to memory and begin a quest for its understanding, workings, and its power, will change your life for ever. It is the answer I have been looking for over the years and it has shaped so many people over the ages and even in our current day to acquire wealth, riches and insurmountable fortunes. It is has built empires and buildings, and left lasting legacies that continue to impact and shape the lives of institutions and people all across the world today – and will continue to do so. It has been powerful enough to change the courses of people’s lives from defeat and failure, unto that of belief, success and achievement. And I believe it has already started its miraculous work in mine. This is what has me so excited. What is this thing? An Ancient Truth, real since before the existence of time and creation:
“MAN BECOMES WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT ALL DAY LONG” Yes, that’s it!!! I really want you to remember this and to embrace it. YOU become what you think about….ALL DAY LONG. How is this possible? Well, as Napoleon Hill said it in his, “Think and Grow Rich”, THOUGHTS ARE THINGS. And indeed at that they are. Thoughts are real. Thoughts do indeed possess a measure of existence that is in fact quantifiable. The thing about it is that every thought carries the core atomic substance to produce and to create physical realities and commodities. And if indeed it is so, that thoughts are things, it goes to say that everything you have in your life right now, is a direct result of thoughts. Every aspect of who you are is also a direct result of thought; and everything you hope to be will be directly linked to the consistency of your thoughts. And so, “becoming” and “having” and “doing” is directly linked to those “exactitudes” that are detailed in your mind and held continually as a matter of persistent, consistent, and continuous focus. Eventually, you become in exactness that which you hold in your mind…that which you think about all the day.
My friends, this is the secret. The power of existence is linked to the power of the mind. It is said that “AS A MAN THINKS…SO IS HE”. A lot of our current affairs are shaped by our thoughts. And so I have decided to practice healthy thoughts and powerful thoughts and thoughts directly imaged by the desires of my heart and what I wish to become and the reality of life I wish to possess. I ask myself the question, “what is in my mind WHOLE DAY”? What is your stream of dominant thought? Are you engaged actively, in shaping your future by changing your thoughts? There I have realized by extension that I am the Chief Designer of my Future.
Well, as I said, I am continuing to be a student and to avail myself of more and more research into the matter; but certainly, I am beginning to behold the entirety of my future in a very emotional way, first by changing my thoughts. And I encourage you to do the same.
Change your thoughts, change your future.
