From India corespondent Divyaa Kummar…
“There is a thought in your mind right now. The longer you hold on to it, the more you dwell upon it, the more life you give to that thought. Give it enough life, and it will become real. So make sure the thought is indeed a great one.”
Thoughts matter – and indeed literally become matter – that sense of awareness that can change your life! Scientific research tells us that we have some 90,000 thoughts a day! This is a great storehouse of ammunition to further problems or potential miracles. Do try to view the slide-show within you and think about what you see.
Yet we often see miracles in terms of providential events, orchestrated by a source outside and higher than us, and made possible only through the circumvention of the natural laws we live by!
Alternatively, let us become aware of the genie that lives within us all – you are the source of miracles, not an outside higher power! Wishes are not granted at random, but by your sense of focus that becomes their life force! And thus miracles are not a divine suspension of natural laws, but indeed our own optimal utilization of the same through exploring how thoughts (become) matter. In doing so, we can increasingly hone our skills to coalesce such miracles – both big and small.
And understanding the power of optimal focus is a simple eureka! It helps us take positive thinking one step forward – for correct focus is your genie! Indeed, it is literally our focus that gives our passing thoughts life. So do not fear your thoughts, for varied thoughts will make up any given day. Sure, some may be angry and others worrying, but our incessant brooding and nagging focus only enhances the life of such thoughts! Allow these thoughts to drift by, much as we allow storm clouds to pass by our windows, opening them only to sunshine – and they will lose their ability to rain into our lives.
Take this anology of the worldwide web; We come across many thoughts and images whilst surfing the net, but only save in our ‘to print’ folder that which we choose to have in hard copy! Indeed the annoying pop-ups, never entirely avoidable, worry us not because we can always hit delete!
Come conjure with me, that our ever ready to please genies have diligently taken a crash course in 3-D color printing so that they may retain their effectiveness throughout the 21st century! And computer savvy that they now are, all that we ‘save’ in our focus folder is what we indeed print out for ourselves – the rest is not our concern!
But let’s take this off this academic blackboard and hear it directly from our genie within.
Appreciation – a powerful means to maintain a positive focus and indeed whenever you can, breathe more of it into life! Make a game of it if you will; how many people, events, things and aspects within you can you find to appreciate every day? Discover new aspects to appreciate in the usual and customary around you. This is true value addition! Try viewing the gift of each day before you go to sleep and you will give your genie a long ‘stretch’ to whip up your miracles!
Joy – often ignored bit this emotion carries great importantance to the purpose and truly the hallmark of a life well lived! Ancient Egyptians understood the significance of their joy quotient and even worshipped the goddess Hathor towards this sacred responsibility. Make it a point over the next few weeks to zoom into joy, in however small a way, and recognize it consciously as your true state of being, without the clutter you have placed around it. Joy is indeed a high priority folder for the genie to print out into your life – with free extra copies to boot!
Visualization – build up an inner collection of feel-good DVD’s, your personal ‘dreams come true’ visualizations. These are effective homing devices for those moments when things seem askew and you wonder how to switch your focus to something positive. Insert one of these into your focus folder and achieve the double benefit of shifting your life force (focus) from nonconstructive thoughts, to your highest visions of self! And watch your genie print them out frame by frame, until life becomes the movie you’ve directed from within!
Introspection for today: Set a series of alarms on your cell phone to ring at random times through they day and become aware where your focus was at that very moment. Life affirming or life negating?
