OUR THOUGHTS ARE SO POWERFUL THAT THEY CAN DIRECT OUR LIFE JOURNEY

All good or bad things on this beautiful planet have thoughts as their root-cause. To make a choice is within our power, but most of us don’t, and let things happen the way they happen just because that is the easiest way. As a result, we see and hear of all kinds of negative and destructiv­e developmen­ts around us, almost daily.

Therefore, as the only beings bestowed with high intelligen­ce, we human beings need to see that we do a determined and positive choice at every step. Only then we can be said to be performing the real journey of life purposeful­ly. Who knows we may or may not have a choice after we end this journey!

Australian author Rhonda Byrne, in The Secret, gives great importance to the power of thought because, “ultimately, thoughts become things.” That means everything that can be achieved has to be born as a thought at the start.

You are today what your thoughts were until yesterday; and you will be tomorrow what your think today. Everything starts from a thought, and you move or stop in life as your thoughts dictate.

Thoughts are so powerful that they can influence anyone anywhere on this globe. That is why Swami Vivekanand­a had said: “The silent power of thought influences people even at a distance, because mind is one as well as many. The universe is a cobweb; minds are spiders.”
