THOUGHTS: Wonderful Slave OR Cruel Master?

Watch your Thoughts,

For they become Words.

Watch your Words,

For they become your Actions.

Watch Your Actions,

For They Become Habits.

Watch Your Habits,

For They Become Character.

Watch Your Character,

For They Become Your Destiny.

If you look at this ladder you can see that the only thing that you have to and the only thing that you can control are your thoughts. Everything else is just the reaction of your thoughts.

Now the reading of the above takes less than 10 seconds but to perfect it takes years. Every Revolution in the History of this planet started with a thought but it took years to meet destiny. Let's take the example of Indian History. The British ruled over India for almost 200 Years. Though India got its Independence in 1947, the first war of Independence was fought in 1857, 90 years before acquiring 'The Swaraj'.

In 1857, it was the first action that occurred over a thought no one knows when it popped into one's mind. From Action in 1857 to destiny in 1947, it took 90 years to complete those 6-7 phrases.

To bring your thought to its destiny you will need only three things, Hard Work, Perseverance, and Time. Out of those three, only time is not on our side. I see time as a vector quantity with one resistance. It has a magnitude and a direction but its only resistance is that it cannot be manipulated by us. I don't know if Time is the 4th dimension or the 5th dimension or even the 11th dimension but it simply beyond our reach. So, I will leave it to the theoretical physicist and the string theory to shine some light upon that.

Thoughts of Creation:

Thoughts are potent tools and the most important ones in the creation of something truly terrific and mind-blowing. The satisfaction of creating something is so high that just by the thought of it induces a current in our whole body. Everything made by man had some very useful purpose, but someone more creative molded some of it for destruction, more on this later.

Creating something new starts with just a thought. The Airplane that we use to board and unboard was created with just a thought. Initially, it was not as it is looking today. Wright Brothers first thought of flying like a bird. It was not that they thought of some mode of transportation through air. The start to something big is actually very small. Like the Archimedes principle, it was not created to calculate the Buoyant Force.

A new crown sitting on a red, fluffy, velvet pillow was brought near a king. The crown bearer was none other than the master craftsman of the crown. The yellowish luster filled the throne room. The king was astounded and overjoyed. He finally got what he wanted. The King took possession of the crown and sat on his throne. He was looking marvelous. After few days, when he was thinking about the crown, he felt that the crown was not made of pure gold as the goldsmith claimed. The King called Archimedes and gave him the task of finding out the truth. Archimedes got exhausted finding the solution to the problem. One day when he got in his bath-tub thinking about the problem. As soon as he got in the bath-tub, he noticed that some of the water got spilled from the brim of the bath-tub. He ran out of the bath-tub onto the main road 'naked'😲, shouting "Eureka! Eureka!" meaning I have found it. He then used the same method to determine the weight of the crown. thus proving that the crown was not made of pure gold.

Now, today we use the same method to calculate the buoyant force of any liquid. That's a whole different physics chapter. You can search the term on Google to read about it. So, you can see how just a man, who was tasked with finding out the purity of gold formed a theory and later a formula that we still use.

He never thought that something that was used for something so small could still be used today. So, you can see how did this thought of Archimedes is now useful in day to day life of physicists.

Thoughts of Destruction:

PC: Google

The Yin & Yang depicts that there is something good in every bad & there is something bad in every good. Hence, by the above theory, it is obvious that if we do not control our thoughts, it can lead to destruction. Like guns created to protect oneself are often used to take revenge, motor vehicles invented to reduce human effort are now the biggest reason for laziness & the invention of social media has reduced the human touch and emotions.

There are millions and millions of examples of how we are using most of the things just to destroy our health and eventually our life. From time to time, we need motivation or a good perspective to keep our life on track. Otherwise, it looks like everything around us seems to fall apart, and in the greed of keeping our life in perfect condition, we make rash decisions that end up hurting people.

Conclusion:

Why is it that we cannot keep our mind positive that someday something good is going to come along we just have to give time and patience. We just have to understand how our mind works. One thing is for sure that our mind will never stop producing thoughts because that is one of the major functions of the mind. If we cannot think of our heart or kidney stopping, how can we think of our minds to stop thinking? We just have to change our habits and develop our minds to think positively. To do that we need determination, time, and patience. Once we master the art of positive thinking or even just move in that direction we can see our life and people changing around us. And believe me, you will feel much better once you learn to follow the path of positive thinking.

Why is it that when we can lead a positive life, we fall prey to the negative aspect of life?

Why do we think ill of someone when we can be positive even for our enemy and live happily and peacefully?

Why is it that when we can conceive something great using our mind, we end up producing disastrous results?

Think about that and analyze.

In the meantime KEEP SMILING ☺️
