What is the power of your mind?

“He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

This week we are going to talk about the most important thing in living the good life. Everything begins in the mind. If this is true then the most powerful thing in our lives is our minds.

It is said that what you think about you become. This tells us that what ever we want to become all we have to do is think about it. Of course, it is not that simple, but perhaps we over complicate this concept.

If this is fact then all we have to do is think about what we want to be. That is how it is. However when most people think of what they want to be they do so in the future tense. They think about it as something they wish to become because their ego is telling them that the vision is a lie because they are not that.

There is the problem. The denial may be something that you are not really aware of, but it will stop you all the same. That adage about, what you don,t know cannot hurt you is false. If you don’t know there is a rattlesnake where you are about to step will not prevent the snake from striking you.

This is the power of the mind. It can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It all depends on whether you control your mind or it controls you.

The vast majority of the people allow their mind to control them. Then they complain that life is not fair or how unlucky they are. They do not realize that they have the power to take control of their life and make it something they can be proud of.

This is where the problem comes in. Most people do not have a purpose in life, a higher purpose that is greater than themselves. Without a driving purpose it is almost impossible to cultivate enough courage to overcome the fear and uncertainty of life.

Do you have a purpose? The purpose must be more than to make money or have a comfortable life. If that is the purpose it is likely you will remain in the fantasy stage of manifesting your dreams.

Remember the difference between a fantasy and a dream is the plan. Working the plan makes the dream come true.

Also people want to start with the desire. The desire that says I wish or I would like to have. Then the denial or doubt makes them feel that they will never achieve the dream.

The place to start is with the training of the mind to believe and have faith that we live in a Universe of unlimited possibilities. Then when you believe then it is time for the dream.

But, you must remember that even at that point there is still work to be done. It is not magic, it is miracle.

TODAY’S TIP: Work on training your mind to see only the unlimited possibilities that are available to you. It is well worth the effort.

Where do you need to start?
