Our thoughts

I believe we do what we think and we are what we do. That’s why it’s important to watch our thoughts and make sure that we think the way we would like to be looked at. We need to think as if we talk aloud as it’s very hard to hide our thoughts. Our thoughts show in our attitude and create our actions. People will notice what we think, they might not be able to directly pick up on it but they will sense it. I believe it is because our thinking shows in our attitude and attitude does not only show through our words, it also shows through every little movement of our body. Once we stop watching every little move, we do start acting the way we think.

Once our thinking becomes the way we want it, we don’t have to watch our actions as much and we can freely say whatever we think because our thoughts are the way we would like them to be. We will react better because our mind will be able to absorb more details about our situation rather than being occupied by what to do or say. Our mind will also have more space for new things and new ideas.

I don’t mean to fight our thoughts or avoid them, I believe that we need to reason ourselves out of the thoughts that we don’t like. That is, we need to tell ourselves why it is not good to think certain way and what are the consequences if our thoughts were acted out. We can ask ourselves the following questions:

What our thoughts tell about us? Do we want to be like that?

If someone else actually said or do what we think, would we like that person?

What would the world be like if everyone around us thought this way?

It might be hard at first but once we create a habit we start thinking the way we like automatically without even realising it (see Habits). All we need is a little progress at a time and with each step it will become easier and easier (see Progress).
