Channelling Your Thoughts Towards Something Better

It has been said that the place where your dominant thoughts is will be where you will always act on. It normally occurs like this: when a thought comes to you, it is planted as a seed. When you meditate upon that thought, it will be like nurturing the planted seed. Then when you take actions in accordance with the thoughts, then results will follow, just the same way harvests follow after you have nurtured the seed.

It is true that you have received the gift to think (just like everyone else) but your thoughts are exclusively your choice and how you think is what will determine how your life will ultimately turn out in the long run. This is why you have to always channel your thoughts on where you hope to get gain from.

If you will not like the result of an action, then it will be wise not to allow the thought in the first place. Remember the popular saying that "you cannot play with fire and expect your fingers not to get burnt". I once heard a particular proverb in the neighbourhood I grew up that:

The food you do not intend to eat, try not to bring it near to your nose

What this means is that if the result of a thing will be unwelcomed, then the process that will lead you to the thing should be avoided. In this case, the process is thought, so if the result of your action will be unwelcomed, then the thoughts should be avoided. You will be surprised by the unimaginable power that has been embedded inside a seemingly small thought. Once a thought goes forth, it has the propensity to come back as actions.

Many of the great achievements that people have done started from thinking about it. The thoughts gained meditation and coupled with actions, then it gave birth to results. Even people's habit and ultimately their character all started from what was their dominant thought.

As a matter of fact, nothing defines you like your thought pattern and this is evident in not only the way you speak but how you act. To change your actions for the good, you have to first change your thoughts for the good. The fight to become better should start from the mind. Until you have overcome your mind, you cannot master your actions for good.
