This morning I was watching Nat Geo Reveals on the National Geographic.

A young talented gymnast, Rebecca, was trying to perfect one of her moves but of no avail. She was then made to relax and go through her movements in her mind clearly. Each move she was to do on the parallel bars, she rehearsed explicitly in her mind. And then she tried to once again attempt that complicated move on the bars. Lo. She was able to perfectly execute it in a smooth and easy manner. And I still remember her beautiful smile once she finished the move.

Learned scientists explained what happened here. It seems that there is an area in the brain where pathways are to be made for any sort of movement or action to happen seamlessly in the outer world. In the case of Rebecca, these brain pathways were to be exercised either at the gym or even in her mind. Both built up the pathways and when executed in the physical world it showed the exact result.

This is nothing but the mental programming that we are all talking about all the time. If you think right thoughts and focus on acheiving what you want, the chances are very high that when the opportunity arrives you will be able to perform and out perform and reach the goal of your dreams. It is important that you first develop the personality that you want to be in life, initially in your mind. Make the picture clear. And then the higher mechanisms will work towards making pathways to achieve your goal. And that is the time that you need to physically work towards your goal.

Many people without realizing this process seem to just work in a 9 - 5 treadmill kind of job doing the same thing over and over and over again and again......and then cursing ill luck, fate, destiny, an unfair world...an unjust God etc etc

If only they would stop.... Think.... Decide..... and then act, I am sure the will be much ahead in their lives than what they are now. Muscles develop only when you work on them. Life improves only when you work on it.

Dont get on. Get Ahead. That is what matters.

Thinking - An art never thought about!

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!!!
