The Power of Thought

The power of thought.

 

Most of us are so easily distracted by the outside world… the stuff.  The houses, cars, jewelry, clothes… you name it.

 

But when it counts, it’s really what’s inside that matters.  There is

a wonderful book, “The Science Of Getting Rich” by Wattles, which focuses on the power of thought to bring about whatever your dreams.  The key is belief.  It’s not easy to change our core of belief.  We’ve been living with our self-imposed limitations for a long time.

 

I’m reading Dr. Steve Taubman’s wonderful book, “Unhypnosis…How To Wake Up, Start Over, and Create The Life You’re Meant To Live.”  It’s an Amazon best-seller, and I’d highly recommend it.  (See:  www.unhypnosis.com or www.stevetaubman.com)

 

I’d like to share an excerpt with you…

 One of my favorite lessons to share is that we are not trapped by our circumstances in life. We aren’t defined by job, family, current finances, or education. Whatever we are doing can be changed, and we can start over…now!

 Of course, it takes courage and vision: courage to step out past the familiar and risk failure, ridicule, and fear; vision to be able to first see ourselves in new circumstances of our own creation. Most of us have stopped using our God-given right to dream, to fantasize, to imagine. We stop before we start, and we rob ourselves of the wonder and awe of life’s adventure. Imagine if we dared to dream and take action on our dreams!”

 

Steve Taubman calls the process of realizing our potential — “unhypnosis,” because we’ve been hypnotized by our limited beliefs.

To change our outlook, we must work on “inner selling.” 

 

If you’re intrigued with this perspective, then I’d suggest taking action steps to be consciously aware of our pervasive thoughts.  You can state positive affirmations to yourself each morning.  Put up optimistic quotes by your desk.  Focus on counting blessings and visualizing positive outcomes.  Concentrate on what you want vs. what you lack.

 

It’s not easy… but it’s worthwhile.

 

The qualify of life is in our hands.  And we do have control over it.
