It is natural for us to think – we are thinking creatures. And if we think on purpose- in a direction of our choosing - it`s a beautiful thing. But our minds tend to create a lot of stress and negativity if they are left to their own devices. The mind is quick and clever; it loves to find problems and things to worry about, and can easily make you angry or anxious- about something that happened 10 years ago, for example (that has nothing to do with now).
We pay attention to our health and diet, we take care of our homes, cars, bank accounts, our families and dear ones. We don’t take really good care of our thoughts, though. We don’t pay attention to what our minds are doing, or the effect their incessant negative chatter has on us.
Why do we want to think on purpose – why make the effort? Simply, if you do not master your thoughts, they will certainly master you.
Your thoughts set the sail in your life and create your opportunities. You feel and act according to what you are thinking. The world reflects it back to you. In other words, you get what you think about.
When you think about something sad, your expressions, language, mood, gait, posture, decisions, judgement, perspective....are ALL directly affected. So the nature of your thought determines how you feel, and the feeling of the thought is translated in the body (physically and emotionally) and determines how you conduct yourself.
How you think sets the sail for how you start the day, and what winds you are able to catch!
Here is the basic rule: What you put in is what you get out. This means when you put a negative thought or perspective into something, a negative result must flow from it. For example, when you put negative, angry thoughts toward a person or relationship, a positive, harmonious relationship cannot result.
Also, it`s nice to control your own direction in life. If you have freedom to steer yourself along a path you prefer, why wouldn’t you? If you could but don’t, there may be habits in the way. If you could but won’t , that means you really don’t want to.
You have the right to choose between a depressing thought and a great one. Choose the great one -because it feeds your heart and soul with good “food”, and because it feeds, through you, good things to the world. It`s easy to do: whatever you are looking at or thinking about, challenge yourself to – very sincerely - find the positive in it.
Claim your power to be happy, choose it on purpose, and know that by doing so you are not only feeling good yourself, you are uplifting others. Be happy for yourself, and for the world in which you live -for your family, your friends, your community, and the world. Do your part for the world and take care of your own happiness. You cannot make a better world by adding more judgement and anger – you do it by adding more happiness.
