Thoughts = Reality

I remember when I was younger hearing the quotation ” Your thoughts
create your reality”. I didn’t give it a whole lot of thought way back
then, but everyday, every minute, every hour it becomes more clear as to
its powerful meaning. I often wonder how many people out there
wandering in the world do not have a clue that what they are thinking
about is bringing to them their own reality. Of course it has its
greatest meaning in the effects of positive thinking over negative, but
it goes way beyond that as well. What kind of dialog do you have with
YOURSELF everyday? What kind of verbiage do you use when you talk to
yourself? Are you supportive of yourself, do you inspire yourself, are
you mostly complimentary or mostly critical? It makes a huge difference
as to how your life unfolds so pay close attention.
I wish I had ten dollars for every self-help book I’ve read over the
years. I certainly wouldn’t have any money issues that is for sure. Out
of everything I learned nothing really could have been more
consequential than realizing ‘how we think is one of the most important
aspects of living we need to pay attention to’. Especially in raising
our children. Just a few words can teach a child to either embrace life
and enjoy the wonder of it, or to fear it and limit their life and sadly
themselves! Often we do not realize the impact of our words and actions
on young minds. Take a thunder-storm for example. Some people may be
afraid of them themselves, so when storms pop up they grab their kids
and go into a closet. That child will mostly probably fear storms for
the rest of their life, versus the child who was shown the storms
amazing energy and taught when and how it can be dangerous and when it’s
not. Calling our children stupid or fat or lazy are all crippling words
with long-lasting effects. We must pay close attention to what we say
and do.
So how do you approach your day? Do you groan at the thought of
another day of work or do you spring awake with gratitude in your heart
that you are alive to live another day? Do you thank the sun for shining
or the birds for singing for you? Are you grateful for the life-
sustaining breakfast you are about to eat? The more we feel gratitude
the happier we become within. Try one week of waking up and seeing all
that you have to be grateful for and take note of any changes you may
feel. Life is good if we just allow ourselves to see it and feel it and
be grateful for it. Even when things are down and difficult we have the
choice of staying down in the muck or rising up by finding something to
be grateful for, the lesson to be learned. We lost our appreciation for
life when we spiraled down from grace, it is time now to find it again
and rise upward and deepen our interaction with our lives. Choose your
thoughts carefully, choose to see what is right instead of wrong and
choose joy.
Blessings to us all,
