The greatest power, that every human being has, is the power of
thinking. It’s primarily because of this power; human beings are superior to
other animals. Moreover, thoughts and experiences of human beings are stored as
memories which help to take future decisions and actions on related situations
and conditions. The power to think and the speed of thoughts combined become
causes of all achievements and happiness but also the reasons for worries,
stress, tensions and miseries of human life. Whether thoughts will become the
reason for happiness or sorrows depends on the direction of thoughts. Therefore,
one must try to be smart in charge of his own thoughts. In Bhagwad Gita, Lord
Krishna says, "Enslave your thoughts, do not be a slave
of your thoughts". Most of the human beings remain slave of their thoughts, they are not able to use this great power at their
will, and rather they are not aware of this power. Those who knowingly or
unknowingly succeed in getting hold of their thinking power and navigate their
thoughts as per their choices, they only become achievers. All scientific
inventions, all discoveries and all achievements of human cultures and
civilizations are results of those people who succeeded in becoming the
directors of their own thoughts. On the other hands, all failures, worries,
tensions and all miseries are results of uncontrolled and ill directed
thoughts.
All that you are, is the result of what you have thought so far. Your
very life is your thinking and the result of your thinking process. In fact, it
is your mind and what you think repeatedly that makes what you are! Hence the
secret of success is within the thoughts of the man. It is because of thoughts
that a weak man can become strong and vice-versa. Every word you think is
creating your life, whatever you do - eating, wearing clothes, driving, running
- all are preceded by your thoughts. Behind every single step you take in life,
there is a force of thoughts. The way you walk, the way you carry yourself, the
way you talk and the way you dress up, all are reflections of how you think.
Your dominating thoughts determine your character, your career, and indeed your
everyday life. In fact, the universe in which you live is a creation of your
minds.
All the great religious leaders, kings, warriors and statesmen
have understood this science of thoughts and that’s why they were able to
influence their followers. You are also molded by the thoughts of others - by
what you hear in our social life, what you read in newspapers, magazines, and
books - what you hear and watch in movies, the theater, and on the radio - even
by chance remarks from the conversation of by standers - and these thoughts
bombard you constantly. Some of them match with your innermost thoughts and
also open the way to greater visions in your life and are helpful but mostly
there are thoughts that are unwanted and they weaken your self-confidence and turn
you away from your high purposes. It is these outside thoughts that are the
trouble makers that you have to keep safe from. You have to ensure that you are
not going to be affected by unwanted and negative thoughts of others. Your
dream stealers are always around you. They may be the dearest ones also, if you
will be able to rationalize thoughts of others as well as your own, you will be
in positions to take charge of your thoughts. The successful people in history
have succeeded by being directors of their own thoughts. Their hands were only
helpers to their minds. Hard work alone will not bring success, the world is
filled with people who work very hard but have little as results. What is more important
than hard work is creative thinking and firm belief in one’s own ability to
execute the ideas. This practice converts the hard workers into smart workers
and makes them achievers.
A thought attracts upon which it is directed. That is the reason
for the thing you greatly fear that comes upon you. Your fear thoughts are just
as creative or just as magnetic in attracting troubles to you as are the
constructive and positive thoughts in attracting positive results. Thus, it’s
advisable that you should not think of a thing which you do not want in your
life. If you don’t want failure, do not think of it. Think only of success and
strengthen your belief system for your ability to succeed.
