On the previous parts of this series - The Mind Game; I have
said that it’s possible to set out your formations, like setting new goals for a
project or the year, conceptualizing a new vision, trying to initiate and
enforce some new disciplines, but still, with all such noble efforts achieve
nothing until victory is gained first in the mind.

| Open Your Mind |
With that opening phrase in mind, the law of the universe is
this: no matter how fragile it may seem, the world of circumstance shapes
itself to the inner world of thought.
If a person is just keenly a physically oriented kind of
individual with less focus on internal subjects, then such a person is doomed
to failure at all the deciding corners of life.
Hear James Allen – “man is buffeted by circumstances so long
as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he
realizes he is a creative power, and that he can command the hidden soil and
seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then become the rightful
master of himself.
Earnestly you have to keep watch over the kind of thoughts
that emanates from your mind, because they are responsible for forming your
personal philosophy which in turn is directly responsible for the outcome of
your life.
A wise man once said that thoughts are things. How true!
Society itself is a collective fabrication of the mentality
of its citizenry. Now if the thought pattern of people is sufficient to reflect
the state of a nation, then what do you think a certain thought-pattern will do
to a single person. So it is a valid fact that the quality of any community is
a direct mental framework or quality of its immediate indigenes.
My advice then is this: watch carefully the kind of thoughts
you generate; Fight to preserve the sanity of your thinking. Don’t just allow
any thought in and stay in your mind. Engage a screening process.
“Be cautious,” said a sage “for circumstances grow out of
thought and any person knows this, who has for a given time practised
self-control, will notice that the alternation in his circumstances has been in
exact ratio with his altered mental condition.” Wow!
Professor of Anatomy at Harvard and Father of Modern
Psychology in America – William James concluded at the end of his industrious
career that, “the greatest discovery of his generation is this, that human
beings can alter their lives by altering the attitude of their mind.”
Friend, you may be poor, your shoes may be broken, but if
your thoughts constantly align and reason with kings in the confines of your
mind, then one day you will dine with them in their very earthly palaces.
Remember the saying that what the mind can conceive and
believe it can achieve.
Just thinking is work-in-progress, so once again be cautious!
POINT TO RUMINATE ON: “The soul attracts that which it
secretly harbours; that which it loves, and also that which it fears.”
