Shaping your life with Thought

Shaping your life with thought

I'm sure you've heard the old joke about the man who goes to see the doctor and moving his arm round and round says, “Doctor, it hurts when I do this”. At which the doctor says, “then don't do that”.

It's an old and corny joke but it does bear some truth.
There is another saying that tells us that to do the same things the same way over and over again expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

We are creatures of habit more often than not. We get into a routine of thought, feelings and actions and just keep pressing on hoping that we can force things into our will.

Many times we move through similar experiences making the same choices and wonder why each subsequent situation resembles all the others. We just keep doing the same things, feeling the same way and expecting different results.

We experience pain, frustration and unhappiness, never realizing or accepting that we are at the root of it all.

Whatever you experience with no matter how many people, you are the only constant. No matter where you go, there YOU are.

The Law of Attraction is always at work bringing about more of the same energy you are using to create your experiences with.

My mother used to tell me that birds of a feather flock together. It peppered my life with thoughts of similar people, circumstances and even thoughts and emotions and how they reflected my life choices at the time.

Teachings about the law of attraction are all around us. Our parents have subtly taught us with their cliches, holy books have proclaimed it in many different ways, yet we somehow missed the big picture of it all.

When the New Testament told us that we reap what we sow, we thought this only applied to sinners getting punishment for being sinful. We didn't realize that we were being taught something powerful here.
When you cast your bread upon the water after many days it will return to you,
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things. And what you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.
We are surrounded with evidence of the law of attraction, a kernel of corn planted does not give us just a kernel in return but several ears of corn containing many kernels. All flowers seed themselves after their kind, bearing more fruit than the one seed planted. This is the way of nature.
Thoughts work the same way. A kind thought attracts not only more kind thoughts but kind actions. When we focus our thoughts on things we really do desire to experience it is powerful and magical, bringing about a stream of good feeling thoughts right behind the first one. Of course it also works the other way. When we start down the road of resentment and disappointment more similar thoughts follow just as quickly.
The quote as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he provides us with deep truth and understanding. Thoughts become our beliefs. These beliefs bring about more of themselves in our daily lives. We create our experiences through our thoughts/beliefs. and unless we change our thinking patterns our beliefs will not, nor can they change.
The power to attract is awesome and constant. It does not cease to work as it is law, principle, the way the thing is set up to work. This isn't saying we can't work with it to enjoy a life of abundance and joy. Just the opposite is true. By awareness of the principle we can choose thoughts in line with abundant life, with joy, with well being, with prosperity.
Our choice is what type of thoughts/energy do we hold in our hearts.. the essence of defining our selves and our life experiences. Thoughts have a feeling, we experience it at once. Take a moment to think of an experience that frightened or saddened you. In just a few seconds those old experiences begin feeling real to you as though you were experiencing the situation again right now. Now think of something that brought laughter, joy and excitement to you. The same principle at work again, your emotions follow your thoughts.
This is why thoughts are so important, they are vital to your emotional well being. You can not think happy thoughts and feel bad, just as a fountain can not offer up bitter and sweet water at the same time.
By paying attention to the thoughts that go through your head day and night and choosing the ones that bring about the feeling.. the emotion that you wish to experience, you can begin attracting not only more of the same thoughts and feelings, but experiences that match the vibration of thoughts and feelings.
In order to begin creating life the way you really want to experience it you need only to change your thinking patterns. Your emotions and actions will then begin being in line with these new higher vibration thoughts and attract more positive and enjoyable experiences.
You will change your life by changing your thoughts, it must happen, it's the law.
Today, starting right now make a decision to choose thoughts that are in line with well being. Thoughts of joy lead to feeling joy and attract situations of joy. Loving thoughts attract the feeling of love and being loved, and situations in which to experience it. Be a conscious creator, choose your life one thought, one emotion, one experience at a time. Direct your thinking to the place of joy, bliss, abundance and well being which is your birthright.
By remembering that your beliefs come about from thinking the same thoughts over and over again, you can shift from thoughts that do not serve you to ones that do by practicing new thoughts.
The process is easy and simple, it's a matter of practice. You move your life into new spaces of experience by thinking new thoughts and feeling new emotions. As these gain momentum in your heart, that place of believing, they will create realities that match them. Do yourself a favor today and get off the merry go round of limiting thoughts and expand your world with thoughts and emotions more in line with what you really imagine your life can be.
As you think yourself to Be, you will experience yourself as that very thing.
