Thoughts Create Reality

Your thinking can create heaven or hell. Lack or abundance. Fear or love.

I’ve been working on my thoughts like it was a job for 15 years.

At first I thought it was all about what you did, and nothing else mattered.

I then realized that thoughts are the secret behind the scenes element that dictate how you feel and are responsible for how you approach the world.

But I was still too attached to my thoughts. I thought that if I was thinking it-it must be true, and after years I finally realized how wrong that was.

You are NOT your thoughts. Or your feelings, or you body for that matter. You are a soul here to serve a specific purpose and your mind, your thoughts are like the command center.

You are the creator of your paradise or your prison.

Along each of our journeys we either resign to fate or create our destiny.

The difference is often the difference between reactive vs proactive thinking.

Reactive thinking is when you are waiting for the next thought to pop up, which is typically negative (that’s just the way the mind works-it’s about your survival) and then you react to that thought.

The best way to deal with negative thoughts is not to react to them. Do not give them any power.

Proactive thinking is when you initiate the thought, when you make a query, when you solve a problem, when you actively pursue some interest or when you are working on something proactively.

This is the staple of a sound mind nicely at work.

See, I used to be taunted and tormented by my thoughts.

I suffered with PTSD for many many miserable years and it was a minefield of thoughts and feelings that drove me to deeply understand my mind and develop my powers with the inner os. (The use of my mental faculties and the power of my emotions.

I journaled and meditated everyday for 15 years to heal my mind and to get to my core truths and it catalyzed the path to my self actualization, and then enlightenment, and to end the suffering of PTSD.

The secret is that you don’t control all the thoughts that pop into your head, but you do direct your focus and that’s the spotlight of your attention. Where the spotlight goes, so does your energy flow.

The secret is proactive focus.

You must take control of your power and harness the use of the mind and your potentials for their fullest most influential expression of your god given talent and gifts.

We go upward ascending towards what we want, or downward away from what we don’t want.

To live is to be in action, and mental action is just as important and maybe more so than physical action. When we are idol and not engaged we permit are focus and energies to be sapped, strained and drained by thoughts and forces that send us downward towards hopelessness and depression.

This is something you’ve no doubt experienced before…

You felt overwhelmed so you let your mind drift over into the negative and thinking of all of what’s wrong or why something cannot work and suddenly you felt as if all the air left the ballon, like all your willpower was nullified.

We must play good offense and more importantly good defense for what we permit into our active consciousness.

It is a living breathing organism that is responsive to the thoughts we focus on.

Thoughts create reality, and even though at times it feels like we don’t have control over them, you do have the power to direct your focus.

And here’s some good news… you can rest assured that most thoughts are garbage, non-sense, non-truths.

Don’t sweat em.

But they (thoughts) are so powerful because they can be like little engines working for us to progress our ideas and alert us to problems and process our experiences.

Your mind is like a garden, what are you allowing into your garden?

What are you ruminating on and does it serve you?

What would the ideal be?

Remember that life, like happiness comes from the inside out.

That’s why meditation is an absolute must. IT’S MISSION ESSENTIAL. Please do not forget to meditate. Everyday it’s like coming back to the life giving well that refreshes and revitalizes your connection to yourself, to god and to life.

Modern artists embrace the path of mastery and the many seasons of growth.

They make the commitment to do the challenging work of continual growth in their core areas of focus.

They develop their life, career and self through daily practices that advance them step-by-step, day by day.

Meditation is one of these practices.

Water your cells with life enhancing thoughts that nourish your soul and keep you positively engaged.

This is how you’ll complete the mission and not burn out.

Again, this is how you’ll complete the mission, and not burn out.

It’s the secret to my survival and my intense capabilities of focus to solve problems and heal suffering. It is something you have control over.

Don’t neglect your daily meditation and feed your mind with thoughts that revitalize and inspire you.

What do you think will be possible when you use your thoughts to get what you want?

These are my thoughts for you today. I hope they find you well.
