Thought Ignite - Thoughts-> Feelings-> Actions-> Results

Often we dont understand the importance of something until we lose it.  Sometimes even after losing it we might not understand its importance!! Dont be fooled. This is a defence mechanism built in man to preserve him for ever.

Thinking is one such thing. It is an art. It is always with us. It is probably one of the most powerful tools that man has ever had access to. Yet we never seem to understand its importance and the critical role thinking plays in creating our life. 

The quality of a person's life is always directly proportional to his thinking pattern. People who have a drive to do something always think of their goal and their ultimate acheivement. On the other hand people who drift aimlessly in life seem to think of nothing else but what little they have in life and very often (more dangerous) criticize all that they have.

There are two types of creations in this world: Primary - those that are created by our Creator viz. the trees, the mountains, the streams, the living beings, their systems of propogation, the ocean, the world, the universe, you, I etc etc.  and the other is Secondary creations - these are those things created by man. If you dwell upon this subject it is easy to see that man can create! Well man has been creating, inventing, discovering etc etc from the fire to the wheel to the rocket.  Man has also been creating his own level of living.

Certain decisions taken in the past (might have been even small seemingly insignificant ones) have bought him to his present state of living. What do you think made him take those decisions. Naturally his pattern of thinking. One thing is sure here: If he continues to think and act the same way he has been doing all along, he is rest assured of getting what he has been getting all along!

You and I can change our style of living any time we want. It is simple. All we have to do is change the way we think throughout the day and very soon we will feel in a way akin to our thinking. This feeling will make us take an action that conforms to the same feeling. And that action will beget a result worthy it. Ultimately resulting in a life exactly equal to that action we have taken.  From here it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that our life today owes its existance to what we have been thinking all along in the past.

Is it time to change the thinking pattern? Well then just do this. For the next 10 days just follow and observe what you are thinking on a continual basis.  Are your thoughts of fear of the future, contemplation on what will happen next in life, doubts of results happening, fear of failing relationships etc etc. Just follow your thoughts and keenly observe it.  You will see a pattern developing.  Identifying that pattern is 70% of the battle won to live a beautiful, abundant and happy life.

Happy thinking!!!
