Today I will talk a little about the importance of taking control of one's life by controlling one's thoughts.
We have all heard about "The power of thought", about "Mind over body" and that you can "Create your own reality with the help of the mind". All of this is certainly true, but it's important to have it explained a bit so that you don't go around thinking that only wishful thinking will make anything happen. Wishful thinking and daydreaming, or for that matter scrolling through a thousand unnecessary TikTok videos, is nothing more than energy dissipation where you get rid of your mental power instead of taking responsibility for it and actively controlling and focusing that power on what you want to see manifest.
All of us are constantly creating our reality everyday, but very few people are aware of this and how it actually works. Many talk and give tips and advice, but very few actively choose their lives and live the way they teach.
It is not the person who likes the sound of a piano or who fantasizes about what it would be like to play the piano who actually becomes a good pianist. It is the one who concentrates on it, the one who in a focused way practices and zooms in on the process of learning to play the piano who eventually becomes a good musician.
You already have everything!
The great secret, which is really no secret at all as it has been taught and explained throughout the ages, is to act, think, speak and live as if everything always goes your way. Know that the universe and all of life is like a mirror on which your faith, trust and mental beliefs are reflected. It changes according to what you project into it.
Sure, we project with the mind all our ideas into the world that takes shape after it. It means that we are also influenced by the ideas of others. But if your belief in what you want to manifest is stronger than the belief you hold in the negative reality that appears to be outside of yourself, then the universe will bend to your will and a new reality will begin to take shape. Regardless of whether the world out there changes or not, at least your reality and your experience of it does.
The problem here is that the old notion is deeply rooted in us. It goes on repeat, so to speak, in the subconscious part of the mind and continues to create the same negative reality with similar events and relationships over and over agian. And since it happens in the subconscious, it happens outside of our conscious control and we are not even aware of this and that it is also ourselves who help keep the old notion alive.
What we have to do is to first become aware of what it is that we don't want but which nevertheless always appears in our lives, then what it is that we actually do want.
From there it follows that we become aware of our relationship to the universe and the universal consciousness. To know that whatever that is, nothing can be separate from it. It means that we have the same qualities as it does. With it follows that we recognize that we actually have the power to create whatever we can dream up because thoughts are created in the mind and the mind is creative.
For those of you who are interested, I highly recommend the book “The Master Key System” by Charles. F. Haanel, where it is also explained that the ability to control and choose one's thoughts in a constructive and focused way is the way in which the individual has the ability to act on the universal.
Fake it till you make it
At first it may not seem like it, but with persistent focus on what you want to see manifested along with acting as if the end result has already manifested and the belief that this just has to happen, that you already have it, will make it happen. If you are persistent and do not waver back and forth, after a while you will begin to see the "miracles" that appear in your life.
Perhaps unforeseen events occur that caused the money you needed to appear at exactly the right time, accidents were averted, your career took off, harmonious relationships begin to develop, your health improves, you smile and are more happier than before and the right people, things and events appear just when they are needed.
This is not arrogance, it is not wishful thinking and it is not imagination. With unwavering knowledge and belief that it will happen, it must happen one way or another. Best of all, our reality is completely under our own control and we don't have to work hard for long hours for years to see a change. You just change the way you believe and look at things and things will change for you.
Start with the end
We see everywhere in the world that it is not those who work the most who earn the most, or those who struggle the hardest who benefit the most from the toil. Your own purposeful striving is always necessary and of the highest priority to make something happen, but that does not mean that you have to physically work harder for it.
If you want to change your reflection in a mirror, all you have to do is change yourself. Do you need to go and scratch the mirror or replace the frame around it? No, but if you replace or change what is reflected into it, the reflection changes as well. So, replace your ideas about what you think is possible, about what you think you can do, about what you think you are worthy of, and so on, and replace them with thoughts that feel better, stronger, more uplifting, freer, and happier.
You may say that you have really tried using visualization, affirmations, prayers, active action and positive thinking but it still doesn't work. I know because I've been there too.
The problem lies in the fact that you act and think from the standpoint of someone who believes that you don't already have what you want, that things are hard and that there are not enough resources for everyone, that it is difficult to get money, success, respect, happiness, love and friends, or that it takes time and a lot of luck to reach your dreams.
The problem is the belief that we don't already have everything we want. If the idea is that it is something that you do not have but must acquire, then you are affirming limitations and fears.
If you shift your focus to the result you want to see manifested and start acting as if it were already so, if you have faith and trust in it and know with certainty that this is a fact, then it must happen. For example, if you want to be happy, you must first believe that you are happy.
It's not possible to have more than one thought or feeling at a time, so if you're happy, you can't be sad at the same time, and you can only get and have what you already are. Thus, the state of mind, the mindset and the idea one has must change for a change to be possible.
It is not necessary to stress and fight hard for it. It is also not necessary to know how all this will happen, just know that it is already so and act accordingly. It inevitably means that you still do things, that you plan and act as before, but now in a much better, smarter and more focused way and don't waste time and energy on things that will lead you nowhere.
But first we simply have to convince ourselves of the reality we want to see manifested and then choose to act upon it no matter how much the world "out there" tries to convince us otherwise.
It will be as you think
It has always been the open-minded individuals, those who have dared to think differently, independently and go beyond the norms who have been the ones who have brought development forward. No one thought it was possible for humans to fly in the air or dive deep to the bottom of the ocean until someone invented a way for us to do this. And now these things happen daily!
These people chose to hold in their minds the images of what they wanted to bring into physical reality until the ideas finally took shape.
What we mentally say to ourselves is what will show up more in our lives. If our inner conversation and belief is that life is stressful, that things are hard, and that there is not enough, then we are affirming our fears instead of our true nature, which is soul/pure consciousness. What we are is beyond the objects, the mind and the ego. The objects are created by the mind. The mind is only a tool, one that we all have at our disposal all the time.
We must cling to strong, uplifting, and limitless beliefs that convince us that we are worthy, that we are guided, that all the best always happens to us, that we are lovable, happy, successful, at peace, that we are good people, that we are friends of all and that all are friends of us, and that everything that will ever be needed will always be provided for.
We do not need to struggle, strive and work hard for material possessions only, as if that is what life is all about, because we already live in abundance and wealth as the source of everything is already in you, around you, with you, for you and is you! But, if you are not satisfied with the situation as it is, it is your right to change it to one that is more harmonious and in line with what feels right for you, as long as you do not consciously harm others in the process.
It is said that if you took all the money in the world and distributed it equally among all people, it wouldn't take long until those who were rich before become rich again and those who were poor before will be poor again. This is so because the rich already have the consciousness of being rich, while the poor still have the same consciousness they had when they were poor.

Trust the process
None of us understand how life works, yet it does. None of us understand how thoughts come about, what it is that allows us to breathe and that cells form and that it is possible for us to see and hear, yet all of this works, without fail.
The birds do not go to any work, they do not plow a field to sow seeds and then harvest. They do nothing. Yet all their needs are provided for! What they need comes to them, they don't need to know how.
In the same way it is with a caterpillar that is magically transformed into a butterfly. There is nothing left of the caterpillar at all. It has completely transformed into a butterfly. The caterpillar probably does not know itself how this happens, but it knows that it will happen and believes in it.
It is also said that bumblebees should not be able to fly because they are too big for their little wings, but still they fly…… every year. It's probably best that none of us tell the bumblebee that it can't really fly so that it starts to believe in the bullshit and loses its ability.
Until next time!
