Thoughts, Change, Empowerment, Attitude of Gratitude, etc. etc
Don't
wait until you can do it perfectly, or exactly, just do something. That's the
polar opposite of my usual train of thought.
Our thoughts are powerful. How to
overcome negative thoughts??? How do I improve my performance/ productivity????
How to channelize our energies positively????
Such sundry questions keep on irritating us on frequent basis, right????
Today I was feeling very ‘low’ n
'defeated', I was challenged to think about what I want to be, instead of what
I am not. So, I pondered on my thoughts for a moment. I thought of all things I
want to be, and it was incredible to note the amount of energy that simply
flooded through me when I stopped focusing on what I wasn't (feeling well, to
start with) and started thinking about what I want (to be healthy, to start
with). I honestly felt more awake, less sick, and more hopeful.
While we don't control which
thoughts float in and out of our consciousness, we can control which ones we
allow to stay in there and occupy our
mind- as predominant thoughts/ energies. That, I think, is where our power of
self belief comes in. There is, quite simply, no way to send these thoughts
packing without utilizing our power of Intuition +Instinct and Positive
Attitude cum Approach (Mindset Reprogramming).
It's
a pretty frightening time in our world's economic history. All around us,
people are losing their jobs, killing others / committing suicide. Corruption
and Crime is on a rampage. Older folks are putting off retirement out of
necessity. Younger ones are feeling lost and insecure. The election has brought
out the usual nasty rhetoric. There is not a lot of hope among the masses.
Now, we could focus on that. Or
we can remember the value of Gratitude- 'Whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable
-- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – it’s this very moment, the power
of NOW! Think about things, the relationships you have and not about what you
don’t have. Just count your Blessings!!!
How about this? From now on, tell
to yourself, make a pact with yourself that from today onwards I will pray only
positively. Frequent Re-affirmation is the key here according to me. Instead of
what I don't want, I will ask for what I do. Instead of noticing the failures,
the stupidity, the negative, I'll give thanks for those things that lead me to
my goal. A free country (isn't it awesome that we can have dialogue in
public?); a prosperous community (isn't it so cool that we all have food on our
table and there are so many generous people sharing their wealth?); a bright
future (Our present promises to enable us to achieve a better future). Ok, it
might sound clichéd to most of us. But………Still, why not? What is there, really,
to lose? After all, anything worth doing is worth doing poorly as long as we
are not procrastinating, lols. So let’s get out of the resent mode and get into
the present mode!!!
