Harnessing the Power of Thought

I read a statement from the late Wallace D. Wattles that was so profound that I had to share it with you.  He said in his book, THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH,  “To do things in a way you want to do them, you will have to acquire the ability to think the way you want to think; this is the first step toward getting rich.  To think what you want to think is to think TRUTH, regardless of appearances.  Every man has the natural and inherent power to think what he wants to think, but it requires far more effort to do so than it does to think the thoughts which are suggested by appearances.  To think according to appearances is easy; to think truth regardless of appearances is laborious, and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work man is called upon to perform.”

If you want to get rich and achieve success the first thing you need to do is acquire the ability to think the way you WANT to think.  Most of us have minds that are like sails in the wind being blown wherever the wind wishes to take them.  We don’t think the way we WANT to think, we think according to the appearances presented to us day after day.    It’s official, according to the news; we are in a recession.  That thought will sent many into a tailspin.  They will begin to worry, doubt, and fear based on the appearance of a recession.

I heard a quote from someone a while back, I don’t remember who said it, but during a major recession he made a decision “not to participate in it.”  He CHOSE not to let the appearance of a recession deter him from achieving his dreams.  He decided not to accept the illusion of the recession and managed to do quite well. To him, the so-called recession did not exist.

Why is it some people look at a pile of horse dung and see a mess and someone else will wonder where the horse is?  Why will some see “apparent” failure as the end of a dream when another will see “failure” as just one way that didn’t work and then proceed to find a way that does (Thomas Edison is one of many with such control of thought)?

The world outside will present us with many appearances to impress our mind with.  However YOU have the power to chose WHAT you WANT to think!  You have the power WITHIN to set your mind on the things “above” and not on the illusion of the defeat that appears in your daily life.

The truth is you can have or be anything you desire.  If you want to be a millionaire, you can.  However, you will have to think like one NOW.  You will have to act like one NOW and as you discipline your wayward mind to focus on your desires and, in time, you will achieve those desires.  Notice that I said, “In time.”  Don’t give up at the first, second third or tenth appearance of failure.  Never give up!  It takes time to undo what years of wrong thinking have done to you.

You mind is like a wild horse that needs to be broken and forced to focus on the truth and not on appearances.  You can let appearances form your thoughts or you can let your dreams form them.  It is up to YOU.  No one can do it for you.

There are great ways to harness the power of you mind.  Affirmations are helpful.  Positive books like the BIBLE, THINK AND GROW RICH, THE GO-GIVER, THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH, BEACH MONEY, THE SLIEGHT EDGE, THE WINNERS MANUAL, and many others can aid in proper focus.  Also, CD programs and other forms of self-help trainings can be of tremendous value.  I have found that story- boards and especially Mind Movies are of great benefit.  You can learn more about Mind Movies in the resource portion of my blog (www.mlmsuccesscoaching.com)

Mr. Wattles said that harnessing the power of thought is “laborious and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work man is called upon to perform.”  Are you up to the challenge?  If you are, then start today and practice EVERYDAY.  It took you many years to get where you are today.  It will take time to see the change that you desire, but I can assure you; if you stick to you guns, practice and work at it, you will see stratospheric changes in your life.

Don’t let circumstances control the way you think.  Take responsibility for your thoughts.  Believe me, it is worth it!

The Echo of Your Mind

What do you see around you?  Do you like what you see?  Life is an out-picturing of your thoughts within.  In other words, you life is an echo of what you think.

When you go to a canyon and yell out something, what you yell out comes back, usually multiplied.  This is what happens when you when you think.  Your thoughts are vibratonal; they send out vibrations of energy.  To prove this, have you ever walked into room and felt what we call, “bad vibs?”  Those bad vibes are just the thought or thoughts of the people in that room.  No one said a word, but you sensed something that got your attention.  Have you ever sensed someone was upset with you regardless of the smile on their face?  I have, and that feeling is your mind picking up vibrations of energy from the thoughts of the other persons mind(s) and that thinking effects you adversely or positively.

Our thoughts are powerful.  Therefore it is paramount that you control what you allow into you mind and what you hold in your thoughts.  If you are in a bad mood, that’s just proof that you are thinking wrongly. Change your feelings by changing your thinking.  What you think echoes out and will come back multiplied.  Just be sure what you are thinking is what you WANT to come back!

If you are thinking my business is terrible, no one wants what I am offering and it’s just too hard.  Guess what, that thought will be your reality.  If you want to change the outcome of your life, just change the income of your mind.  Send out a positive thought and a positive echo will return multiplied.

The Bible says, “Deep calls unto Deep.”  There is no way around it.  If you are angry, you will attract more anger into your life.  If you are joyful, you will attract more joy into your life.  If you have an abundance consciousness, you will attract more abundance into you life.

Take heed to the thoughts you send out for an echo of that thought will come back multiplied.    I call it, "The Echo of Your Mind!"

Thoughts are Things

Note:  This is a lesson that I wrote as an assignment for the 30-day Mental Cleanse offered by Mentoring for Free.  This lesson is based on what I received from my reading of Chapter 1 of THINK AND GROW RICH, by Napoleon Hill:

Thoughts are things, very important things.  For it is by our thoughts that we create our life.   I am amazed that I have gone through so much of my life not realizing just how important thoughts are.  I have ALLOWED so many thoughts to make home in my mind over the years it makes me sick…literally!

No one told me how to control my thoughts and just how POWERFUL they are.  They can give you life or kill you.  Thoughts can bring wealth, love, joy, peace, or take it all away and leave you in poverty, worry, doubt, fear, and turmoil.  It’s only a thought; but WOW, how powerful a single thought can be!

I love the story about Edwin C. Barnes.  Here is a man with a definite thought that became emotionalized into a burning desire.  That emotionalized thought mingled with his determination to be Thomas Edison’s business partner made it all come into being.  It was impossible to be any other way.  He didn’t LET obstacles get in his way.  His burning desire mowed down every obstacle until his dream became a reality.

The same was true for Henry Ford.  He wanted the impossible: 8-cyliders in a single block.  All the “professionals” told him it couldn’t be done, but did that stop Mr. Ford?  Nothing can stop a person with an emotionalized thought that has been worked up into burning desire and faith to know that what is not seen, IS.  Wow!

Now lets talk about me.  I have had desires in the past, but at the first sign of frustration, I quickly dropped what I wanted.  At the first word of criticism, I threw in the towel.  I was like the gold miner, who, as long as “some” gold could be found was happy and on fire.  However, when the “gold” quit coming up, I quit!  I probably quit just a few days, week, or months short of a major success.  I will never allow that to happen again.

Well, since being involved with Mentoring for Free and all the great people there, I have DETERMINED not to give up again.  I have a thought, just a thought, to experience massive success.  I have been able to turn that thought into a burning desire.  Many times I feel like Edwin Barnes must have felt working for Thomas Edison all those months, “Will my desire ever come to pass?”  However, this time it’s different.  There is a “knowing” that what I desire has already happened.  I just await its manifestation.  I am determined to build a strong, and successful network marketing organization and bring lots of others with me.  I am determined to reach financial freedom and will keep on keeping on UNTIL the time of manifestation. 

Why do I feel this way?  Because I have read, seen, and heard other people doing it.  If they can, I will.  I am spending time working on me.  I am monitoring my thoughts and filling my mind with what is possible and keeping it off the bad news being circulated by our media and negative “friends.”  Wow, all things ARE possible to the one who believes.
