Think

“The single greatest tool you have for changing your life, creating personal success, being happy, and living the life you wish, is within you. It is the power of active thought.”

This quote by Robin Sieger is very powerful, and many of you will say that it’s something you already know. Unfortunately, there is a difference between knowing and acting. We know smoking crack is addictive, but many people still try it. We know that smoking cigarettes cause cancer, and many still do it. We know that obesity can lead to life threatening cardiovascular problems, and many still overeat, refuse to exercise and succumb to ITIS.

Your mind is the most advanced organic matter known in the universe. It is a labyrinth of information that the most renowned scientists have yet to completely understand and analyze.
Your mind is the source of all your emotions, belief and abilities. It is capable of solving every challenge you encounter. Therefore, you’re ability to change your life and to achieve success is found solely in your ability to harness and master the power of thought. We learn that you are what you eat. But you also are what you think. If you think you will never be successful, you will always fail. If you think you will never be married, you will always be alone. If you think you can’t do something, you never will. It sounds so simple, and it is; however, it is also equally complex. So a man thinketh, so he is. We’ve all heard this before. But there is a big difference between knowing and doing.

Why? Because we have forces, internal and external fighting to harness the same power that you are capable of mastering and using for yourself. You may have had someone tell you that you would never be anything. You may have had people call you ugly more than once. You may have convinced yourself that you’ve messed up too many times that there is no way things will ever turn around for you. You may have even convinced yourself that you are not worth all of the trouble and you don’t deserve the best. Your mind is more powerful than any computer in existence, but people constantly relinquish that power when they believe in the many untruths that life presents.

Your thoughts and your willpower reside in your mind, and if you are an average human you have 100% control over both of them. Reach out your right hand. Now gently place it on the top of your head. What enabled you to make you place your hand on your head exactly when and where you wanted? Some people will try to take a scientific approach and use big words for the functions that make that all possible. But the final analysis is that it all starts in your mind.

“Is it really such a leap of faith to imagine that the same though, the same willpower that enabled you to raise your arm could also enable you to change your life?”
