Think about it…

Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul.

-Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

Completing Jigsaw Showing Solution Completing Or AchievementAs we move through our lives, we have thoughts and wishes of what we would like to see in our life and in our world during our life. As we think these thoughts, we put forth a vibration which is the equivalent of each of our thoughts. Those thoughts we act upon become complete in our mind(soul).Those we do not act upon have the opportunity to transform themselves in our mind as regrets, or incomplete desires.

The difference as to how our mind processes these thoughts, is in the energy we give to them. Are these thoughts just passing thoughts or are the thoughts something that we give our power to and then either act on or we tell ourselves that they are not within our reach, and don’t try, when even trying and failing can be a point of completion for us or the beginning of something great!

Positive Thoughts

thinkI was out buying a car the other day and my salesman was a young man with a new family. Well, we were talking while I was test driving and he said, “it is what it is” to something we were talking about. Before I knew it, we were talking about living in the now, in this moment, that the past has no power over us except the power we give it. It is the past after all.

This is why I enjoy being with and talking with young people. Overall, they haven’t become entrenched in their story, because they are still making it up. They are more open to and willing to change. They don’t have as much “to lose” as older people think they do. Think being the operative word here.

Being positive even when what you are doing is tentative usually helps tip the odds in your favor. When Thomas Edison was working on inventing the light bulb he said his failures were just mistakes he eliminated in finding the correct combination that worked, all 10,000 of them!
