Things Falling Into Place

If You Correct Your Mind, the Rest of Your Life Will Fall into Place – Lao Tzu

correct-your-mindIt can be a very daunting task to correct your mind sometimes.  Each moment our awareness allows thoughts to occur, and what we pay attention to will bring a specific type of energy into our life, either positive, negative, or neutral. If you don’t like the current point in your life, you have the choice to start thinking about other things, which will lead to you doing other things and having a different experience in your life.

Do you spend your thoughts on supportive, kind, accepting thoughts, or are you focused on selfish things, others’ judgments, or jealousy? Once your mind is focused on positive things, positive actions will follow, and the results and experience of life will also be positive. So correct your mind by choosing thoughts and energies you would like in your life, and the rest of your life will fall into place. 

The Right Mind

So that begs the question, how to build the right mind? This is where the choice of your thoughts comes into play. Like all things in our lives, we have self-determination about our life experiences. We decide to pay attention to the thoughts we vocalize and act upon. Sometimes we get into trends of thought which result from life circumstances or the people we choose to associate with. A recent relationship, job, or location change can affect how you think about things.

These actions lead to our life experiences and mean that making the right choices of the thought or mind level is key to moving positively or negatively. So if you are thinking positive thoughts, you will see that all other things will fall into place. If you choose negative reviews, your life will operate from the negative side. You need to know the value you bring to life and bring it out as a part of your life.

Choices and Responsibility

Every moment of our lives involves this choice between the positive and the negative, right and wrong, or the light or the dark. We are each a master of our will and so must accept responsibility for what happens in our lives. You are the architect of your experience solely. Get your mind right, and the rest will fall into place. Some will claim that you have no choice, but that is untrue. All of your life is a choice you make and the thought that you are entertaining.

Your decisions are yours, accept responsibility
Your decisions are yours; accept responsibility.

Most daily choices are not complicated; they are subtle and consistent with your energy. In all interactions, including those with yourself, are you choosing:

Love or Hate?    Laugh or Cry? Create or Destroy? Persevere or Quit? Praise or Gossip?  Heal or Wound?  Give or Steal?  Act or Procrastinate? Grow or Rot?  Pray or Curse? Live or Die?

These are choices we make each day, and the choice will color your life and determine the direction it will go. The easy option is not always the right one, but our lives will follow the path of our decisions.  Nobody else is to blame for decisions other than ourselves; therefore, our lives are entirely in our hands.

If you correct your mind’s negative thoughts and make more positive choices, the result can’t help but be optimistic. Will it be precisely what you desire? We shall see. Perhaps it will become something better than you ever could have imagined. Every person can find a place to improve their mental game in life.  What things bring on thoughts of negativity? Why do we react negatively? Is it fear?  Usually, it is. Faith in life is the greatest thing we can face.

“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.”— Willie Nelson

“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” — Lyndon B. Johnson

“To carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.” -Dalai Lama

“Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.”— William James

Thought Switch

Leave a comment

change-your-thoughts-and-you-change-your-world147At every moment in the day, each thought that we entertain is a choice. Many times I find myself thinking a thought that is judgmental, negative, or fear-driven. Fortunately, with everything we think, the opposite is also available.  Like flipping a switch, we have the ability at any moment to turn off those negative thoughts and turn them into something positive. This is a thought switch that is available to you at all moments. Rather than complain about something you can’t control,  think of something else, more positive and productive. Your corresponding emotions will be less destructive.

The human mind is only capable of entertaining only one thought at a time, and that thought will affect your emotional and physical well-being at that moment. It takes no more effort to think positively and constructively than to think negatively and destructively.  We all make this choice for ourselves throughout the course of each day of our lives.

Turn the thought switch………

Thoughts of judgment into thoughts of acceptance.

correct-yr-mindNegative thoughts about yourself to Positive thoughts about your talents.

Thoughts about doom and gloom to thoughts about hope and light.

Thoughts of worry replace with thoughts focused on the here and now.

Thoughts of wrongs done to you in the past are replaced with appreciation for things in your life right now.

Our thoughts are the force that leads to our emotional state, and we control our own minds. We decide what thoughts we focus on and which ones we ignore.  It is your choice to be jealous, envious, judgmental, or angry. Focusing on those thoughts will take you to a life that isn’t much fun to experience because all of those are based on fear. Your choice to hit your own thought switch and focus on the opposite thoughts brings the opposite mental states and experiences with them.

It may sound simplistic, but dismissing this without attempting any change will guarantee that your personal vibration stays just where it is. Improving your thoughts will improve your personal vibration, improve your relationships, health, and how happy you are with life. Generally making your experience in life a more positive and happy one. But the switch can only be operated by you, and nobody can do it for you. 

Give it a try to see what happens. The only thing you have to lose is unhappiness and anger. You have to gain a better understanding of yourself, a consciousness of thought and joy in your life.

You are in the Driver’s Seat!!
