We Create Through Our Thoughts
We are creative beings, and the tool by which we create is THOUGHT. A proverb states, Thoughts held in the mind produce after their kind.
If you wish to change the outer circumstances of your life, you can begin by focusing on your inner world.
Everything in the physical world started out as an idea. The chair in which you are sitting, the objects in the room—all these first took form in someone's mind. The universe itself may have begun as an idea in the mind of God.
There is tremendous power in focusing on positive and uplifting thoughts. Like attracts like.When you expect the best, you create a thought field that draws to you the desired result. Let your thoughts be kind, truthful, and supportive and so will be the world in which you live.
The greatest revolution in our generation
is the discovery that human beings,
by changing the inner attitudes of their minds,
can change the outer aspects of their lives.
William James
As he thinks in his heart, so is he.
Proverbs 23:7
There is nothing more potent than thought.
Deed follows word and word follows thought.
And where the thought is mighty and pure,
the result is mighty and pure.
Gandhi
Mind is the master power that molds and makes,
And we are mind, and evermore we take,
The tool of thought and shaping what we will,
Bring forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills.
We think in secret and it comes to pass—
Environment is but our looking glass.
James Allen
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a heaven of Hell, or a hell of Heaven.
John Milton
Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
Shakespeare
He gave man speech, and speech created thought,
Which is the measure of the universe.
Percy Bysshe Shelly
You shall decree a thing
and it shall be extablished unto thee.
Job 22:28
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
Buddha
Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, if there be any praise,
think on these things.
Philippians, 4:8
Great thoughts always come from the heart.
French Proverb
Great men are they who see that the spiritual is stronger
than any material force; that thoughts rule the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius
They can because they think they can.
Virgil
The Power Of Choice
One of the most important aspects of our humanhood is having the power to choose. Our loving Creator has allowed us to choose the world in which we will live. If we choose to be loving in thought, word and deed, we create a loving world. If we choose thoughts or actions of fear or ill will, then these qualities will fill the world we inhabit.
Having free will means being able to choose anew. Nothing is permanently fixed. Through making new choices, the past can be healed and pain and suffering can be released from our lives.
Even when we cannot choose our outer conditions, we can still choose how we will respond to them. This is the ultimate freedom. By choosing to see every situation as contributing to our highest good, we can transform even the most difficult circumstances into blessings.
It lies within ourselves or our own actions
to possess happiness;
or by sloth and negligence
to fall from happiness into ruin.
Origen
It matters not how strait the gate,
how charged with punishment the scroll.
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
You create your reality according to your beliefs.
Yours is the creative energy that makes your world.
Jane Roberts
Whatever you vividly imagine,
ardently desire,
sincerely believe,
and enthusiastically act upon
must inevitably come to pass.
Paul Meyer
Life is what our character makes it.
We fashion it as a snail does his shell.
Jules Renard
Where there is a will, wisdom finds a way.
George Crabbe
Every moment of your life is infinitely creative,
and the universe is endlessly bountiful.
Just put forward a clear enough request,
and everything your heart desires must come to you.
Shakti Gawain
People are always blaming their circumstances
for what they are.
I don’t believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world
are the people who get up
and look for the circumstances they want;
and if they can’t find them, make them.
George Bernard Shaw
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.
Williams Jennings Bryant
A true lover of God can inspire his brothers and sisters
with a desire to return to their home in Him;
but they themselves, step by step
must make the actual journey.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Don’t feel sorry for yourself if you have taken the wrong road—turn around!
Anonymous
To reach the port of Heaven,
we must sail sometimes with the wind,
sometimes against it,
but we must sail and not drift or lie at anchor.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
