We undoubtedly live in a thought world, which is part of a thought universe. Thought is the only power that can produce tangible results from the formless substance.
Our thoughts determine the way we live. Our way of doing things is a direct result of the way we think about things.
Every thought we think makes it necessary for us to think another thought thus expanding our consciousness.
Every fact we learn leads us to the learning of another fact thus we are continually increasing our knowledge.
Your thinking has a direct and significant influence on the way you approach and execute various tasks in life.
The bible says that “as a man thinks so is he in his heart.” You are what you think about most of the time. You general behaviour and character is shaped by what you think of most of the time.
Most, if not everything we do is a result of what has been manufactured in our minds. Your mind is the thought factory.
So then if our thoughts have a direct influence on us, then I would be right to say that “no one, therefore, is poor because nature is poor or because there is not enough to go round.”
You are experiencing poverty because your mind is consistently producing negative thoughts focused on lack and limitation.
Thought is Power
You will agree with me that every action we make is a result of what we think. In other words your actions always precede your thoughts.
We have within us the incredible power and ability to achieve and accomplish anything that we set our minds upon, no matter the challenges we face.
Every invention that you see today was first meticulously visualized in the mind of someone before being skillfully transmuted into reality.
Ask yourself this question if thought is power, why then are you poor or not successful, and yet you have the power and ability in you?
Write down your answers and start working on resolving them as a matter of urgency. You have just identified the problem to your situation.
The attitude of mind necessarily depends upon what we think. Therefore, the secret of all power, all achievement, and all possession depends upon our method of thinking.
The preceding statement is true because we must “be” before we can “do“ and we can “do” only to the extent that we “are”, and what we “are” depends upon what we “think.”
Think about all the things you have done in the past are these not the products of your thoughts?
Whatever, you have done is because you “are” and you “are” because of what you “thought.”
We cannot truly express powers that we do not possess, and we can never fully become conscious of our inner power until we learn that all true power originates from within ourselves.
You have the power within yourself. If only you can change and tune your mind to think in a certain way, nothing will stop you from achieving your desired goals.
If you live in a world of poverty, failure, frustration and all the negative things, this is a direct reflection of your mind, because all these things are governed and controlled by your mind.
Do not underestimate the power of your thoughts. See related article for more.
Live Consciously
“Would you bring into your life more power? Get the power consciousness. More health? Get the health consciousness. More happiness? Get the happiness consciousness. More riches? Get the riches consciousness.”
The preceding statement brings out the fact that all possessions are based on consciousness which is a product of the mind.
“He who thinks to illuminate the whole range of mental action by the light of his own consciousness is not unlike the one who should go about to illuminate the universe with a rushlight.” – Professor Davidson.
Mind is creative, and conditions, environment, and all experiences in life are the results of our habitual or predominant mental attitude.
To truly realize your dreams and aspirations, you need to live consciously and purposefully each day.
Conscious living is directly induced by the mind. When you live consciously you will be amazed at how much detail you will have even of the seemingly small things in life.
To truly become more, you must first possess more. You cannot effectively give what you do not have. It’s essential to accumulate resources and knowledge before you can even think about sharing or giving to others.
You must seek wisdom from within you and as you become conscious of the wisdom in the world within, you will mentally take possession of this wisdom, and by taking mental possession you come into actual possession of the power and wisdom necessary to bring into manifestation the essentials necessary for your most complete and harmonious development.
Conclusion
Personal Development is not an easy task; it requires consistent dedication and the determination to eliminate certain habits that no longer serve you better.
The mind is very key to achieving a higher level of personal development and self-improvement. You must train your mind to think positively and maintain good health always live consciously.
