How can you think your way to success?

Law #1: You are a thinking being

• you are always thinking about something

Law #2: You control what you think about

• When a though comes to your mind, you have choices
• dwell on it
• discard it
• write it down
• expand it
• overwrite it

 

Law #3: You can only think about one thought at a time

• if you hold on to that thought, you give it power
• if you reject it, you can replace it with a better thought

Where do thoughts come from?

• If you believe in the Creator, as I do, you can then assume the thoughts come from three places
  • From God
  • From satan
  • From yourself
• How can you tell where they are coming from?
  • If from God, it will be consistent with His Word
  • If from satan, it will lead you away from God’s word
  • If from yourself, it probably will be consistent with your core values

 Law #4: You are in control of your thoughts

• You can decide to accept or reject a thought
• You can give it power by dwelling on it
• You can take away it’s power by overwriting with a more valuable thought
• You can limit your source of input of negative thoughts
  • it’s not mandatory for you to watch the news
  • you really don’t have to allow negative posts in your Facebook timeline, you can “unfollow” repeat offenders
  • you don’t really have to hang around negative people
• You can increase your supply of positive thoughts
  • read uplifting books
  • watch uplifting media (movies, programs etc)
  • hang around uplifting people
• Now all of this will not happen overnight, but if you decide that you will improve your input, and follow through with action, your input will improve

Why should you go through “all this work” to improve your thoughts?

1. Better results!  If you are focused on higher ideals and activities, you will achieve elevated results
2. Peace of mind. If you focus on the positive in your life, you will attract more positive results
   • If you focus on the negative you will get more of that too!
3. Quality of life. That is a natural result of going thorough life expecting the positive to happen, Even when it doesn’t, you will feel better about your situation.
