Thought for the Day |
|
Your thoughts affect your perceptions. Your perceptions change your behavior. Your behavior determines your experience. Your experience is your reality.
You can take it at that level alone. Or, you can take it one step further. (Are you covering your eyes for fear of what I might say next?) Just suspend your disbelief and try out this concept.
Every thought is made up of energy. You have to think a thought before you can actually do anything right? So thoughts alone carry some power.
Each thought, a little energy bundle, goes out into the world. Imagine it leaving your brain and floating out there. Unless you have mastered meditation, you are probably thinking hundreds of thoughts a minute. Thought. Thought. Thought. Thought.
Well, these thoughts get sort of crowded and they start to conglomerate and stick together. So, now we have sticky energy bundles of thoughts floating around like clouds in the sky. Similar thoughts are attracted to one another and form clouds of certain types of energy. So, for simplicity’s sake, imagine happy clouds and angry clouds made up of your thoughts.
Just like a cloud, when the concentration of similar thoughts reaches a critical mass, it rains. These clouds rain out onto your life whatever sort of thoughts they are made of. Spent a lot of time complaining about your neighbor? Don’t be surprised when their dog poops on your sidewalk. Been feeling awfully generous with your friends lately, a spot bonus wind may be blowing your way.
Like attracts like. Our perception becomes our reality.
On the simplest level, when you think good thoughts, you expect good things to happen. This allows you to see good things in any situation and take advantage of them. Take for example, someone walking their dog. The dog puts on the brakes when he runs across a stranger reading her paper on the park bench. This could be a standard annoying delay, or an opportunity to meet your new best friend. Simply put, at its most basic, your interpretation of a situation determines whether it is a positive one or not.
Another good example is your standard traffic jam. I have sat in traffic jams and fumed. I have also sat in traffic, listened to some nice music, and got some good quality time with myself. That is the surface level – making the most of that traffic jam. On a deeper level, sitting in traffic and thinking good thoughts also changes the energy around you. You may arrive at work late to a voicemail announcing a fabulous project win. The meeting you were worried about being late for was cancelled anyway. Enjoy the traffic I tell you.
To reiterate:
Thoughts
There is nothing revolutionary here. Yet, this awareness has the potential to transform your life. |
