A Personal Mission Statement... Arghh
Write it down, are you kidding? No one could ever get me to
commit like that. A Mission statement is for business or so I
thought...
Can you imagine taking a boat, loading it up with supplies and

Freedom

The Power of our Thoughts
Spiritual currents, from the oldest to the newest, all agree
that affirmations or mantras are, perhaps, the best ways for a
person to keep the mind busy doing something that is good and
positive.
We have thoughts that come and go at the speed of light. Each
day we have thousands of them speeding by, in and out, around
and around, like a car race. When we pay attention to them we
realize that, sometimes, we have great arguments with people;
sometimes we criticize ourselves.
Most of the times, though, we think about our lack of
everything: time, money, health, wisdom, fun, happiness, talent,
intelligence. In any case, our thoughts are mostly negative in
nature. This is natural, for we have been ingrained with them
for hundreds, even thousands of years and we, unconsciously
maintain an egotistical perception that life is not the good
thing it is supposed to be. We have come to believe that our few
moments of true bliss are just specs in a dark and cloudy life.
If you are as old as I am, you may remember the Hare Krishna
folks, whom we would meet everywhere, with a smile on their
faces and flowers in their hands. They were always singing and
doing mantras, and, at that time, we thought they were really
silly; idiotic, even. Even though we knew they acted that way to
prevent negative thoughts to enter their minds, we still
questioned the stupidity of the action, branding them as
brainwashed.
Nowadays, knowing that the mind is so powerful that it brings
forth to our lives that which we think about, we need to
reconsider our previous judgments about those flower people. We
now know, or perhaps I should say, we are aware that what we
think about happens to us.
We know that we bring upon us diseases, discomfort, lack, hate,
and other negative states. All the time. Just let your mind
wander and you will know what I mean.
Mike Dooley, from
Inspiration Peak, says: "What does a thought
look like? Just look around you, right now... to see yours."
This is absolutely true.
Thoughts are concrete. We send them to the universe as energy
and get them back in brick and mortar format. If you haven't
watched the movie "What the %$#&^ Do We Know?" more commonly
know as: "What the Bleep Do We Know?" I recommend you rent it
out as soon as possible. It will change your perception of life.
This whole position that what we send out is what we get is
explained in the movie not only from a spiritual point of view,
but also from a scientific one. This is important for we still
have many people who only believe in the "concrete,"
materialistic aspects of life. This movie will convince anyone
of this absolute truth.
So, based on this, what do we chose to do? Think positive or
think negative thoughts? The answer is obvious! But how can we
do this, when we know that our thoughts have a mind of their
own? By doing exactly what others have done before us (and many
times were ridiculed by us): repeating mantras or affirmations.
I have many affirmations to share. In my next article, I will
give you some of them, which will be very useful on our
day-to-day living. Until then, guard your thoughts. Become aware
of them. And, every time you catch yourself on a negative frame
of mind, say to yourself: "Oops! Let's start again..." And
immediately think a happy thought.
