What We Think

The world is filled with nifty little sayings about life, bits of wisdom passed on to one another, the only thing is, most of us want to learn about life in some form of empirical knowledge. We want to learn from our own experiences. I remember reading as a teenager something about how we tend to become like that which we love. I thought that was so profound, yet I had no idea at that stage of the game just how much wisdom was in those few words. And now as an adult with a few years behind me, I can carry this even further, saying that we are what we think we are. Our very own thoughts can limit what we think we can do or in the other direction carry us to places we never could imagine. The sky is the limit sort of thing. I have also realized just how powerful our thoughts can be. The law of attraction is real, no two ways about it. I love this quote from the book, The Secret, "Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. thoughts that bring about bad feelings means you are not on the right track." Its about listening to your conscience. Be grateful, be joyful, be peaceful, be optimistic, be happy, be on the lookout for true wisdom and let go of the thoughts that drag us down, the anger, the thoughts of failure, the jealousy, the things that do not serve us well. We are what we think about.
