If there is something that children are good at, and adults never do anymore, it is the practice of giving time to just
think and dream. When we were just kids, we used to not have limits to our imagination. However, as we grew up, we forgot about dreaming and focused more on our daily worries.
Is wishful thinking really wrong? If thoughts become things, you may wonder, then why didn't you become the president of your country, or a popular rock star, or the richest man in
the world, when as a kid you did nothing but imagine these kinds of dreams?
The answer to that is simple.
It is because you stopped dreaming, or in a more realistic perspective, you stopped thinking about your goals and
consequently also ceased to look for ways you can achieve them.
You settled for whatever is available.
You Reap What You Sow
Consider your mind as a vast area of land where you can plant trees, crops or anything you desire. Your mind is a
land of limitless opportunities. That land is yours, and you're free to do anything with it. Most people in the world take this land for granted. They do not search the depths of their minds for answers, much less plant good, fruitful thoughts into it.
There are even those who fill their heads with nothing but bitterness, frustrations, and discouragement. If the adage that says, "You reap what you sow" is true, then it is no wonder why people who are jealous of other people and frustrated over themselves always fail at whatever they do and never get what they want. They end up hating themselves and the world.
Cultivate Your Mind
The law of attraction is true for people who believe in it, but nothing beats believing in one's self. It beats all the
other theories. The power of your mind is so strong, and what's wonderful about it is that you can take control of
it. It's your land to cultivate, and yours to plant.
Do successful people have positive thoughts then?
Do they take care of their land and plant as many good, fruitful thoughts as they can in their head? Well, evidently they do.
Here are some of the things that you can do to plant nothing but good things in your head. You will be surprised at how easy things will go your way, moving forward.
How To Make Thoughts Become Things
- Evaluate your life, especially your thoughts.
Are you miserable right now? Or are you perfectly content?
What are your thoughts composed of? Are they filled with regrets, frustrations and what-could-have-beens?
It is only by knowing and recognizing that you need to take out the negative and replace them with positive that you can move on to better things in your life. Otherwise, you can expect to
get stuck in the bitterness of your thoughts.
- Use Positive Affirmations
Once you have gotten rid of the negative "plants" in your head, you can then focus on the positive. It is only by
thinking positive thoughts that you can make the effort to make positive affirmations and then say them to yourself. If you cannot get words of encouragement from other people,
then don't fret. Just make sure you hear yourself say these,and you'll be okay.
- Create your reality from your thoughts.
If, for example, you want to be a successful corporate head, then dress like one, act like one and be one. You cannot just wait, and let discouragement seep in when you get tired from all of the waiting. Grab and hold on to each opportunity of whatever will bring you closer to your dreams. Do this as much as you can.
- Think good thoughts. Think of your goals and let the subconscious mind do its job. Do you know that metaphor we used, when we compared our mind
to a land you can plant things with? That's just the conscious mind. Our subconscious mind is much more vast. It is an undiscovered forest with many treasures in it. When we think of positive thoughts, we feed our subconscious with answers, with realizations and possibilities that will pop out in our daily activities without us knowing where they actually came from.
Do you have moments that you surprise yourself, as to why you were able to know something, or why you were able to do something you thought was seemingly impossible?
That's your subconscious at work.
Just think good and positive thoughts consistently, and you can be sure that your subconscious mind will keep surprising you.
It will help you reap what you have sown.
