Thoughts Are Powerful!

It has been suggested that we have around 60,000 thoughts per day...whew. That to me is astounding number. What is even more astonishing is how many of these thoughts are self-defeating ones. How easy it is to allow our train of thoughts to jump from one track of thinking or subject to another.

How difficult it can be to stop an old mental tape from playing over and over again about a frustrating conversation that we had with someone at work or at home. We replay the mental tape until we are exhausted and yet where have we found ourselves? The answer is in the same place we were before but now with wasted mental, physical and emotional energy. We have solved and resolved nothing.

Do your thoughts shape your life? Albert Einstein believed so. He said, "The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking." James Lane Allen, author of the book, "As a Man Thinketh" states, "You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."

So how do you take control of your thoughts? How do you direct them from self-destructing thinking and behaviors to self-constructing and positive behaviors? By making a decision to do so and then committing to a thought controlling program, then you can begin to change your life. After the decision and commitments have been made, you must implement a mindful state of being...that is living a life that is mindful of what you think and are doing.
