Beware

About the
Power of
Your
Thoughts

Time and again, we come across an article on the subject matter of

positive thinking and how it can impact our life, career, relationship,
and well-being in a favorable way. And yet, how come a lot of
people are still depressed, discontented, and unhealthy? It is
because only a few really understand the power of thoughts, and
especially the connection between their thoughts and their present
realities.
To use the power of our thoughts to our advantage, we have to
understandhow the human mind functions. For this article, we will
rely mostly on the works of three authors: James Allen, the pioneer
of the self-help movement, particularly his essayAs A Man Thinketh,
that has been mass-produced since its publication in 1903;
Napoleon Hill, the author ofThink and Grow Richfirst published in
1937 and now on its 71stedition; and Earl Nightingale, the father of
modern day personal development in hisThe Strangest
Secret,originally produced in 1956 but has become the first spokenword recording to attain the prestige of a Gold Record for having
sold over a million copies.

Warning No. 1: The human mind does

not distinguish good from bad
Allen and Nightingale have both likened the human mind to a farmers
land. The land will yield you an abundance of what you plant as long as
you do your part as a farmer to care for the plant. But the land cannot
choose and doesnt actually care what you plant. The choice is the
farmers to make. If the farmer plants an edible and then a poisonous
plant and takes care of both, the land will return an abundance of both.
It doesnt care that the other is poisonous and could bring harm to the
farmer.
The human mind works the same way. It doesnt concern itself what we
think, but must manifest dominant thoughts in our affairs. If we think
happy thoughts, our happy genes will kick in to put us in contact with
happy situations. Conversely, if we dwell in negative thoughts, our
mind will give us the experiences corresponding to those thoughts. It
can start with simply missing our morning alarm that can lead to a
string of unfortunate events throughout the day; we get caught up in
traffic, arrive late for work, are told-off by our boss, etc.
Like all the other laws of nature, the human mind is also inflexible. It
does not analyze and concern itself that our thoughts will do us harm
or good. Whatever we feed it, it must return.

Warning No. 2: Our prevailing thoughts

create our life condition
Out of ignorance, we like to believe in
coincidences that whatever life we have right
now is a result of pure luck or lack of it.
Allen said every man is where he is by the law of
being; the thoughts which he has built have
brought him there, and in the arrangement of his
life, there is no element of chance, but all is the
result of a law which cannot err.

Warning No. 2: Our prevailing thoughts create our

life condition
In Nightingales words: every one of us is the sum total of our
own thoughts. We are where we are because thats exactly
where we really want or feel we deserve to be, whether we
admit that or not. Each of us must live off the fruit of our
thoughts in the future, because what you think today and
tomorrow next month and next year will mold your life and
determine your future.
If you have a great marriage right now, I am sure it is because
you and your spouse have thought it possible to have a
fulfilling relationship and made efforts toward it. If your
business is thriving, it is because you have goals you are
consistently working on achieving. If you are steadily rising in
your career, it is because you have continually upgraded your
skills set technically and socially. There are no accidents.
Everything is a result of an initial thought that you worked on
and eventually achieved.

Warning No. 3: Our mind needs

constant direction
What if I dont plant anything on my mind? A lot of people do that.
Do you notice what happens to an unattended patch of land? It
yields an abundance of weeds! It doesnt remain clean and empty just
because nobody is planting anything.
Imagine a ship that sets sail without a captain. It could float for days
on end going where the wind blows. If it doesnt eventually capsize,
it will surely end up elsewhere. But put a captain on it with clear
directions and logistics for the voyage, and it will get to the
destination as planned. It has to get there. That is the law.
The mind works in the same fashion. If you dont plant on it
anything, it will run wild in confusion and lack of direction. If you
dont run your own mind, like the ship without a captain, others (the
wind) will run it for you and those others are not particularly
concerned about where you end up. We give our minds direction
when we plant it with goals. Without a goal, a person will end up
anywhere, and anywhere is not really a good destination.

Warning No. 4: We become what

we think about
Napoleon Hill spent 25 years in research, analyzing more than 500 of
the wealthiest men to find out how they become that way. He came up
with the formula which is the subject of his bookThink and Grow Rich.
Riches, he said, begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of
purpose, with little or no hard work. We become what we think about.
What do we always think about? Are they thoughts supportive to the
goals we are pursuing? We cannot want success yet fill our minds with
worry, fear, panic and thoughts not aligned with success. Fredrickson
(1998, 2001) in a field experiment revealed that happy individuals are
more likely than their less happy peers to have fulfilling marriages and
relationships, high incomes, superior work performance, community
involvement, robust health, and a long life. Also,Lyubomirsky
, King, & Diener (2005) in a meta-analysis of about 300 findings
published in the 2005Psychological Bulletinconcluded that positive
emotions produce success and health as much as they reflect them.
Now that we understand the power of our thoughts, that it can execute
any order we direct it to do, we can use it to our advantage. By right
application, we indeed can become masters of our destiny.
