A Series of Thoughts on the Power of the Mind, Part 3

“Our life is the creation of our mind.”

–Buddha

To close out this series, I am using the words of others to point out truisms–about the power of the mind–that have spanned all time. Look back to Part 1 and review the psychological laws. My hope is that you become aware of what you are attracting to yourself and that you use that awareness to improve your situation.

Through the power of your mind.

 The Law of Attraction is a universal law that says all your thoughts, positive and negative, vibrate at a certain frequency and like attracts like.  In other words, you get what you ask for – the frequency of your thoughts attract things to your life vibrating at the same frequency.  This happens whether you are conscious of it or not.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear,  do not sit home and think about it. Get out and get busy.”

–Dale Carnegie

“If you change your thoughts, words, actions, and your attitudes, your mind will update its rules according to the data it has gathered.”

–Susan Gray, author of the book Turn Your Thoughts into Money

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

The laws of psychology teach, if you want to change your world, change your mind set.

Are You Smoking H-opium?

Lately I have been smoking hopium.

Smoking hopium is always wishing and hoping that something different will happen even though I keep doing the same thing.

Like telling myself I am going to write a book. Yet every day, I do everything but anything related to writing the next chapter.  I am addicted to hoping and wishing.

As in any addiction, I have to change my behavior to change my outcome. And I have to get off dead center and move toward my goal.

Advice to Fay:

Put away the hookah. Be honest with yourself. Identify the self-sabotaging behaviors in your life. List them. Then list what you are going to do differently, starting today, to change your behavior. Take action on your list. Change your behavior, change your life.

No more smoking hopium.

The link above takes you to a very interesting discussion from heaven4earth.com on how our self-talk or self-concept molds how we set goals, accept success, or achieve. It addresses how we self-sabotage. A very Zen approach.

A related theme is told through short story by 1000 Seeds at http://onethousandseeds.com/2012/05/07/the-giant/#more-703.

I commented on the short story “The Giant” as follows:

You describe a wonderful journey. The sojourner is blind to much of it, though various guides offer to help him. It is so like us, isn’t it, to travel blind to the myriad colors of life around us. Thank you for this tale. It’s lovely.
