Our inner worldly thoughts and emotions are our most powerful asset. These are the building blocks from which a foundation for an incredible life can be made. Many times, we look at the world at large and the local world (the world directly around us) and we attribute the way we feel and our own personal circumstances to these outer worlds. Unfortunately and fortunately, this is just not true. Now, I am not saying that there are not tragedies, disappointments, good luck, ect. that does not an effect on us as individuals. These things do happen, however in the big picture, their long-term effect on us is not lasting. Knee-jerk reactions do happen, however, it is a personal choice to allow those to linger. You may say, well that is just not true, I do not have any control over my thoughts and emotions. And if that is your mindset and belief, then for you, it will be true and you will live your life as if you have no control over the thoughts and feelings you have. It takes no more work to think a negative thought as it does to think a positive one. That would be like saying, it requires more effort to pick up a gallon of 2% milk then it does to pick up a gallon of skim milk. They are both gallons of milk, it requires no more effort to pick up one then it does the other. The problem is, most of us have habitual patterns of thinking to the point that the mind defaults to a certain way of thinking. It does not require more effort, the brain has just simplified the process to get from seeing circumstances unfolding to a negative mental outlook on it. The trick is to acknowledge this is happening and become aware that you own your thoughts and they respond to your command. It is my opinion that this is what is meant in the Bible when God gave dominion over the Earth to man. Our Earth starts with our individual thoughts.
So how do we begin to shift our thinking? The first thing, as previously mentioned, is to admit that maybe your immediate thoughts about things are wrong. Just because you think it does not mean that its based in any truth. I often times try to gauge the validity of my thoughts by asking if they are based in fear or based in love. If my thoughts is directly related to a fear, then more often than not it is based in an illusion. The illusion of fear can seem very real, but in the light of the truth, it completely dissolves. Just making a decision to believe that there is a possibility of a better outcome to a situation then initially envisioned, if you can be open to the possibility, then you have begun to re-wire your brain towards a new setting.
The next optimal step would be to begin to envision something prosperous in the place of your previous negative notion. Begin to see an optimal outcome. If you cannot think of one, begin to feel that there is an outcome where everyone involved in the situation will benefit. This may mean that you have to begin to want the best for other people around you, even those who you may not like. But if Albert Einstein was correct, we are all one and wishing something bad on someone else is really wishing bad on yourself. Its is literally a prayer that negativity will bombard your fellow human, but the laws of the universe dictate that the same fate will also befall you. You can have your indignation and resentment or you can have your dreams come true. Some would rather have their anger, and that is all they will have. I would prefer to live the life of my dreams, but in order for that to happen, I need to be in a place where I sincerely want others to have the life of their dreams. It is not for me to make judgment on others actions. Their lives are their lives. I would rather be happy, joyous and free than justified.
The brain is a miraculous tool. It works directly with the mind to create the world within and without us. They are the tools of creation and manifestation. Creation is always happening according to the thoughts and feelings we hold. The question that time and manifestation will answer is, what are the thoughts and feelings we choose to most frequently hold?
