The Power of Thoughts

Think about certain events in your life, and try to remember what kind of thoughts did you often think, before a particular event happened. Try to find the connection between your thoughts and the events.

How many times something happened in your life and you said: “I was sure this was going to happen”?

Our predominant thoughts influence our behavior and attitude, and consequently our action, our life, and the people around us. As our thoughts are, so are our lives.

This means that it is of great importance to be careful with our thoughts, especially thoughts that we often repeat. Thoughts are like a videocassette that we play in the VCR of our minds. What we play, is what we see with our inner eyes. What we see in our mind is what we think about. The thoughts that we repeatedly think shape our lives.

In order to make changes in our life, we have to make changes in our thinking process. It is necessary to change our thoughts. It is like ejecting a videocassette and inserting a new one that we like better. The new mental videocassette will in time change our behavior, actions and attitude, and attract into our lives people, situations and events corresponding with our thoughts.

One single thought is not strong enough to make a change, but if the same thought is repeated often, it gradually gains strength. A thought that is often repeated takes roots in the subconscious mind, and from there it affects our lives and even our environment. The great thing about this process is that we don’t need to strain or overexert ourselves to make it happen. All we have to do is to choose a thought that we want to come true, and keep repeating it.

 Suppose you are shy in the company of people, and you want to change this situation. Forcing yourself to talk with people does not always work, and might make you feel uncomfortable and behave awkwardly.

It is better to visualize that you are confident and talking fluently with people, which is like daydreaming, and is an easy and pleasurable activity. This is a mental activity, and is quite simple and does not require any effort.

This is a sort of practical daydreaming, a method of using the power of thoughts creatively and intentionally. It is very similar to ordinary daydreaming, yet with some differences. Visualize yourself conversing fluently, with ease and confidence. Imagine how the words just flow from your mouth, how you enjoy expressing yourself, and how everyone pays close attention to every word you say.

You can build in your mind a perfect scene of whatever you want to accomplish. Put a lot of detail, color, sound, scent and life into these mental scenes. If you repeat them often with faith and attention, the subconscious mind will accept them as real experiences, and in a most natural way will make any necessary changes to make your reality fit your inner images.

You can overcome habits and build new ones, develop new skills and abilities, and even change your circumstances and attain anything that you truly desire. The power of thoughts can help you get a new job, improve your relationships, earn more money or improve your life.

All this does not happen overnight. It needs time, and depends on how sincere you are in your efforts, and on how much time and concentration you put into your new way of thinking.

This is mental work, but this does not mean that you stay passive and wait for things to happen. You need to keep an open mind and be willing to take action when necessary.

 Decide what you want to get or achieve, and start thinking about it often during the day, or at several specific times during the day. These repeated thoughts would ultimately get stronger, and bring inner and outer changes. The power of thoughts is real power. You have certainly used it many times without realizing it. When you know how it works and how to use it consciously, you gain the ability to transform, improve and master your life.
