The First Of Three - Life Controlling Powers We All Share
The first and foremost personal life controlling power is how we deal with our mind's attention. Without this power man's life and efforts would only descend. When we are attendant to our thoughts there is a greater likelihood our decisions will be acted upon responsibly.
But if we are pushed along by our thoughts, satisfying one thought after another without carefully choosing just what thought we will take action upon, much mischief may befall us. Taking this action of 'attention gathering' and directing is like walking out of a fog to one who chooses to practice it.
Once we profoundly decide and commit to "watch our thoughts" and take a critical role in deciding where those thoughts (and consequent actions) are directed day after day, much life changing insight can be received over a relatively short period of time. This tends to change only everything!
Such life changing behavior, this power of where one's attention is brought to bear, when used as a shaping and controlling energy in our lives is by in large the single most important feature of being human. Depending on how this first principle is "allowed" to align one's actions with actual desired goals will tell the tale of "what is really wanted" in one's life after all like it or not.
