What are You THINKING About

15 replies
We may have heard that thoughts become things! If not start to watch your thinking today.

In our pursuit of our goals ambitions and other desires we want to manifest We need to understand that our predominant thoughts are infused in our habits, our actions and eventually become the results see in our lives!

We need to understand that our thoughts determine our feelings and it is our feelings that dictate our vibrations and the vibration attract what we receive in our lives. So whether we have what we want or not what we have has come about at our request!

We may have heard this concept before in some or other book, video, forum or lesson but the understanding and acceptance of this is essential.

We become what we think and this is a statement of basic fact. Observe our friends, families and colleagues and assess what the complainers have in their lives? With a bit of observation we start to see that their predominant thoughts are filled with a lack of gratitude and they perpetuate an ongoing series of interactions that give them more ammunition to complain. (try stay away from these people!)

Now what can we do to ensure that our thoughts are cherished with an extremely high value that each and everything that enters our mind is cherished like fine gold and given the appropriate treatment?

Firstly we need to generate positive self image that firms up the foundation of recognizing our infinite potential and ability to achieve anything we desire. Do this by writing a list of all your awesome characteristics and repeating them continuously. Secondly talk to yourself...tell yourself how awesome you are all the time.

When you are happy with yourself you will never be lonely ever again!

Secondly define what we want. Write down an image of the person you want to be, the life you want to live or the goal you want to achieve.

Thirdly focus on your new life image constantly. We need to make sure the positive and abundant image of what we want to become takes a priority place within our mind! By doing this and making sure that we are doing this as often as possible throughout the day we will begin to experience that effect that this has on other aspects of our thinking process, our feelings will be more positive and resilient against negative influences and lastly we will undertake every action each and everyday with more intent, enthusiasm and concentrated effort.

So my challenge to you is cherish your thoughts, work hard to make sure that only good seeds are planted in the garden of your mind and that the weeds of negativity are uprooted as soon as possible.

For more help read As a Man Thinketh by James Allen...its a phenomenally simple read but extremely effective when understood and applied.

    there is an over focus on thought.. we don't become what we think about ..unless we are higly focus ..and line our thoughts and feelings and actions ..


    most people are very much aware of what they do not want ..and beside just being happy have no clue what they really want..most of what they say they want is from conditioning and advertizing..and they will openly tell you what they want if they believe you will find it acceptable ...

    the problem with 90 percent of complaining..is that it is just verbal vomit with not expectaion of there being a solution..
    ]if you are going to complain.. complain.. but be willing to imagine solutions ,, 99 percent of people are waiting for soomeone else to solve the problem.. and the 1 percent who get rich are either solving those problems or solving problems people didn't know they had ..

    so list your complaints then piece together what you would really want instead .....

    you can spend 16 hours a day thinking about something..yet if you do not believe it will happen .. it as much though vomit as verbal vomit most complaining is ..

    you can think about losing weight akk you want or getting trimer and in better shape..but if you don't eat properly and feed a thinner body..andtake some regular actions the expend effort..you don't even need to join a gym .../ just avoid a feast famine cycle that most people replicate when they go on diets ..and avoid eating like a farm animal..with a diet high in corn and soy.. while doing som real work that is productive ..

    What am I THINKING About?

    Strangely enough, I just spent the last 4.5 hours listening a YouTube audio version of Napoleon Hill's - "Think and Grow Rich"

    The video/audio is like 10 hours long... Couldn't do it in one sitting, but I'll tell you what, I believe; the "idea" that initially got me online a few years ago... was "sub-consciously" a path to seek "specialized knowledge" and looking back on the journey... the knowledge gained ties in with my desired outcome, and is forming a clear & concise plan to render s service worthy of helping others, and obtaining all I ever wanted and more.

    Lastly, I set a goal at 18 to be financially free by 45 yrs old. Roughly 7 years ago, I lost nearly $1M in assets, business, tools, and savings... when the housing market crashed.

    Now, I see the blessing in that 'failure' and as a direct result the knowledge I've sought online is coming together full-circle to put me in a position to actually be financially free by my 45th birthday. (I am 42.5 now.) So, I still have plenty of time, nearly 2.5 years to reach my definite goal.

    So, right now...I am THINKING gratitude, appreciation, and building confidence, as I am right where I am supposed to be (near broke) - yet aligned with, and poised for success!

    Specialized Knowledge.... Tapping the Infinite Intelligence... Brilliant, and yet... seemingly simple, and all too familiar.

    I've read Hill's work prior... Now it is all starting to make perfect sense!!!

    art.. from listening to Dan Keneedy.. the title of think and grow rich..should realy be how to think to grow rich ..

    you know the number one fear of very wealthy people is losing it all .. i believe i read charlie monger waren buffets business partner said there have bee a few time where their assets have lost 50 percent or more ..

    i don't have a figure for financial freedom .. because that figure depends on where you live and the lifestyle you have.. but right now i am starting from 0 .. no debt no assets ..and seek to build a lifestyle that is self supporting..where the assets ..provide the lifestyle and income ..and break away from the high need for external imput on a daily basis ..so a lifestyle that has the food and energy need production built in

      Funny you mention the "title" being a "key" to the philosophy... as I wrote those 3 keywords down (think, grow, rich)... and came up with several "headlines" that center around being a "cultivator".

      When I lost everything, the service I was rendering (though in demand) was NOT in alignment with helping others. It was a JOB that I made good money at, but in reality; it did not meet the ultimate goal I've always had to literally help others or influence any real impact on other people lives.

      Worst of all... I allowed those realities to keep me sour (pissed off, angry, revengeful, etc...) for almost a decade.

      As you mentioned also, having a "clean slate" may not appear a welcomed event to most...

      However, looking back... that is exactly what I needed to re-create and refine the "other" knowledge I was already in possession of... Which is a good place to start cultivating a new harvest!

    art i have a different take on helping others ..

    many people attempt to help others while not attending to their own problem..and waiting for some to help them with these problems ..

    there is a difference between help and charity ..and investment

    if you are going to help people get through this day or this week..or a major event..charity .. or having the resources to be charitable ..

    so my view .is i'll solve my own many problems then with those that work ..share the solutions with those it may work for ..who are actually trying to improve themselves ..

    Odahh,

    Not sure I'm following you, and I may be wrong, but it reads like you're implying I need to help myself... Or impart that my mention of prior losses was a cry for help or some sympathy seeking mission???

    Not at all. I've owned 3 offline businesses in my 30 years of working to date.

    More to the point, I am confident my experience in low-cost start up businesses that have yielded 6-figure returns, can easily be surpassed "writing" online, and knowing both my audience the demand.

    Maybe I am not "interpreting" your meaning properly... However, my desire is not to fuel any specific charity... Especially, laziness or those who will not help themselves.

    Rather, present those who truly desire changes, opportunity, and guidance...where to find the resources to work smarter, not harder.

    Think... along the lines of selling picks and shovels to "gold diggers" - supply the demand!!!

    What you are thinking about, so it will become.

    Make a mental drill using the power of the third eye and you will see the future manifest. Yet the trick here is to learn how to visualize with your third eye and see success coming. Make it realistic and think of projecting your thoughts (by thinking "in the middle" where the third eye resides). For example, today I saw a pot of gold flash into my consciousness and something spectacular occurred.

    We humans can transform into interplanetary beings with super abilities. Never forget that you have an extra "eye" and form a habit to feel it, sense it and then you will be receiving "images" coming from the future. I wrote this text by staring at the screen with the third eye and my typing speed multiplied by almost x2.

    Think 3rd... and see what happens.

      The mind is the beginning and the end of the universe.

      Every creation is a product of mind, but so is every war. Keeping focused on the former is all important.

  • It is semantics, I know, but 'about' is so peripheral.

    I wanna think 'on'.

    Like I am there with stuff, I jus' gotta try to do nuthin'.

    Like I am the opposite of 'off'.

    Like mebbe I can figure this into the future.

    Like it is momentary apparel.

    Like it is a layer, not a focus

    Dunno: 'about' smacks of 'miss'.

    I find Earl Nightingale's fluent speaking ability another great source to keep the creative juices flowing as well.

    Despite these recordings being a bit before my time, they are evergreen... And done in a time where the use of the English language was more intellectual... Or direct may be a better definition.

    Yeah, check out Earl Nightingale's "Direct Line" - also some really good stuff to get into work mode.

    one of the things you have to deal with when you go down the rabbit hole of thought..is where do most of your thoughts come from..and how many are really yours and not just regurgitated BS o beiefs systems ..

    there is a huge amount of thought vomit that twirls around in our heads from thousands of years of conditioning ..and abuse of language ..

    wealthy powerfull people use language differently from a majority of poor people.. and while many poor people or people just above poor replicate what the rich did in prior generations ...

    the middle clas house with the huge lawn ...is a replica of the way wealthy people lived hundreds of years ago..when they grazed sheep on vast mannor lawns of huge homes in the country ..

    the diet many middle class and poor people it is the diet rich had a hundred years ago..many people name their children after famous and rich people.. ..

    and most politicians play to this by trying to return to a prior golden age for the country ..

    the vast majority are walking backwards into the future with their eyes on what has already happened ..and no f'n idea of what really is going on ..

    while the rich and the very rich .and take advantage of trends ..many mult hundred million aires and billion aires are activly creating the future ..

    art i disagree that poor people are lazy..many focus vast amounts of effort in unproductive areas .. while there are many poor people who are poor but just arrive in this country and persuing opportunities not available where they came from..

    and i would say 95 percent of native born ..are blind to the vast opportunities available and so demotivated ..and not persuing education..because the education destroyed their curiosity and creative thinking ..

    i think between the everyone gets a trophy and self esteem puffery..combined with heavily medicating children for any sign of being a child ..or because they are getting fed huge amounts of sugar ..

    the same kid who can sit and play a video game 14 hours a day for months at a time.. and pay attention..has add because he/she can't sit in a classroom and pay attention for 5 minutes ..

    the same person who feels hopeless about changingtheir real life and making it better ..will put vast amounts of time in improving fiction game characters ..

    in the next decade the education system will collapse and be replaced with an artifial inteliigen training system that matcch the method of teaching chilren or anyone..with the best method they learn by .

    so many things are changing .. avoiding getting traped in the negative thought about them is vital

      I am frighteningly excited by alla this.

      It is true, we got history, we got DNA, we got our own private memories — but alla this must innervate our next steps out into everness of momentitude or we gonna be consumed by immaculate stasis.

      Language an' imagry have always been the preserve of the powerful.

      Church to tarot, advert to entertainment.

      But anyone wants sumthin' got it now.

      Only thing you need is a voice: saysomeness of days an' some sense of myriadness of ways.

      So, yeah, I figure we are due some long suppressed bottom-up sick, an' it is gonna be messy.

      When u figure on progress, gotta hit on both axes in the statisticalistic show of hierarchies, an' for too long we have favored height over breadth.

      Everyone's a pitcher now.

      All recipes, menus an' dishes gonna swish in the mixo.

      I wanna touch on this palpable pulpable.
