Читать книгу The 11 Forgotten Laws: Success Elements - Monica CDN Selph - Страница 6

The proverb, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he,” best describes the foundation of a human being’s life. It really reflects deeply on the fact that most human beings really end up becoming who they think they want to eventually become. Numerous leaders across the world, whether they are heads of state, business tycoons, or even at the managerial level all agreed with this proverb unanimously.

Why did they agree to it without thinking about it twice? This is because they imagined and pictured themselves being in a position of power far before they actually realized their dreams. This shows how important the Law of Thinking is in attaining success.

We have to learn how to break the shackles of what society expects us to be and how certain expectations they have from us. Expectations only limit successful people because dreamers dream far beyond just meeting other peoples’ expectations. Dreamers at some point in their lives learn how to take full control over their lives and steer their own ship to their desired destination.

Humans have a natural tendency to think that certain factors are beyond our control. But if you really sit down and think about it, every factor is in our control, it just depends on how we choose to react to it and how well prepared we are.

It is common for people to blame the government or the economy for not being a comfortable position after the recession, but what about those whose business have shown double digit growth in the same period when others were going bankrupt?

This all has to do with the Law of Thinking and how we can use it to our advantage by being prepared and accepting for change. In this Law, we learn how to access infinite possibilities even from worst-case scenarios and turn them into brilliant ideas. Being unable to easily find solutions to problems such as becoming financially free, there is a discontent and dissatisfaction that sparks within us.

Over time, that spark becomes into a raging fire of discontent, which makes us think “outside the box” and we implement ideas that very few before have even thought of. This is the beauty of the Law of Thinking. We have to learn how to directly communicate with our mind and guide it towards success. Once the idea forms in our mind, then it gives rise to actions which we take to improve our lives.

But these ideas don’t just sprout up whenever you feel like having them. Most humans believe life to be a mystery, in which there is a lot that is unexplained and impenetrable. But in reality it is quite simple because mystery is often linked to ignorance. Once we learn how to start “knowing” exactly what we want, then there remains no mystery, hence, no ignorance.

Our mind is like a blossoming flower, it needs the adequate amount of water and sunlight to flourish and dazzle the world with its beauty one day. Just like that flower never ceases to stop growing as long as it is provided sunlight and water, our mind never stops pushing itself further as long we keep pushing it further.

The Law of Thinking clearly states that we need to focus and concentrate hard on thoughts which we want to materialize. It is also notice people on a daily basis, they the thoughts they predominantly and most commonly think of, manifest into their everyday lives. However, the problem lies in us thinking about all the wrong things.

The truth of the matter is that if most people are asked to speak their minds, they would not even have a word to say. How can we expect our mind to accomplish great feats and help us become successful if we don’t channel the right energy it? That is why we need to constantly focus and pinpoint thoughts in our mind to make them materialize one day.

Now most people here might say, “Everyone has the capability to think, so of course they think!” This is far from the truth, just because we are initiating mental processes within our mind, doesn’t mean that we are thinking. Thinking involved analyses from various perspectives, deduction, induction, and most importantly, intellect.

We confuse mental activity as thinking because our five senses are always presenting new information to our brain. Whether it’s the color of the dress an attractive woman is wearing or the smell of freshly grilled barbeque, our senses are always bombarding our brain with information. Therefore, it becomes difficult for our conscious part of the brain to retain every single piece of information.

We have to step in and become progressive beings by filtering information that is not as important because the growth of the brain is directly correlated to the amount of intellectual thinking we do daily. Most people are so bogged down in their regular routines that they fail to break the cycle and help their mind grow.

Whether it’s the 9 to 5 job where employees toil away or watching TV endlessly in the evening, these actions do not help your mind progress. What our mind needs is a challenge waiting around every corner. And as it overcomes each obstacle, it begins to really gain momentum like a snowball down a steep hill. By the end, our mind is so receptive and so aware of pertinent information, there is no stopping it on the way to success.

You need to break the monotony and direct all the forces into constructive channels for constant progression and advancement. If you begin to think upward bound starting tomorrow, you can notice the positive influence it brings upon your life. On the other hand, if your mind is downward bound, you will always feel like you’re stuck in a place of discord, discontentment, and disappointment. These negative feelings will then guide your mind the wrong way, away from success.

So you might ask, “How do I make my mind go upward bound?” The primary step is to strongly believe in what you want. If there is no belief, there will never be a materialization or realization of the belief. It is best to do what you want to do, rather than what you “think” you can do. The majority of humans are discouraged from doing what they really want to do and instead, they are encouraged to do what they “should” do.

This is where the shackles have to break and you have to let loose to find freedom. Freedom to think on an intellectual level and the freedom to do exactly what you want with full conviction.
