the power of thoughts

Our thoughts are truly the soil from which springs our different words and actions. In other words, we live out in our daily life what we think about constantly. Thoughts are abstract, but they are very powerful, and their effects and results are noted when acted upon. There is a proverb that we are all creations of habit.

This is true. But what gives birth to the practices we develop are the thoughts which we allow to grow, continue, and take root in our souls day by day.

Our brains, with its different parts, for example, our mindset, wills, memory, and emotions, are the breeding ground of our faith systems, ideas, and over-all attitude toward life.

A) You don’t always have to feel guilty about your thoughts. Anger, Happiness, Fear, Jealous are all wired to humans in nature. People tend to get emotional. Thoughts collide with emotions. But, there’s a line. It’s drawn perfectly and says what’s good and what’s bad and where to not-cross it. Thoughts crossing the line need immediate action. Treat it right.

B) Notice your thoughts and see if they serve you any purpose. If it is of no purpose, dump the thoughts.

C) Emotions are like coping mechanisms. You can’t control all the time. But the thoughts are at your disposal. That’s why think before you act. See what’s happening with your thoughts and act accordingly. Finally, you’ll know what to do next.

We can say that the greatest power we have to ourselves is the power of our thoughts. They can shape our dreams.
