Do we realize how
powerful our
thoughts can be?
Mostly we assume
that thinking is a
hazy part of our
mind and that
thoughts are just
whimsical emotions,
fleeting games which
the mind plays on
us.
The truth is that
thoughts are the
most powerful energy
known to humankind.
Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi
had a thought, which
became a belief and
finally an
obsession, which no
one and nothing,
not even threats and
physical pain, could
change. Not only did
he believe in it, he
inspired other
people to believe in
it and galvanised
them into a
movement. What is
incredible is that
an average human
being who would
usually be more
concerned about his
family, was ready to
give up his life for
a cause which, in
real terms, was not
going to give him
any immediate or
tangible material
benefits.
So how
do thoughts affect
us? Thoughts can be
episodic and
fleeting, or they
can be recurrent, or
they can become a
belief. Let’s see
the kind of beliefs
people have:
·
I am so plain, who
will like me?
·
Money only comes to
people who are
wicked and evil and
who do wheeling and
dealing.
·
I will always be
fat because I have
fat genes and no
willpower.
·
Some people are
lucky but I’m not.
·
Life is a struggle.
A lot of you must be
wondering what such
esoteric ideas have
to do with health.
Here’s what:
Health is th final
outcome of our
thoughts. Many
doctors struggle to
heal their patients
of lifestyle
diseases, skin
problems and
allergies and find
it frustrating
because the patient
harbours such strong
fatalistic thoughts
that ultimately the
disease wins and the
doctor loses.
We have to
ultimately realize
the presence of the
most powerful energy
in the universe -
mental energy and
thoughts. All
thoughts about
ourselves need to be
watched. Are they
about prosperity,
health, positive
relationships or
they only fearful
thoughts of loss of
money, bad health,
children who hanker
after money?
Thoughts are energy.
Repeated thoughts
become habits,
habits become
character and
character leads to
destiny.
So please be
responsible about
what you think.
