Take Control of Your Thoughts

Taking control of your thoughts is a pivotal point of your success. You say, “I can control my thoughts.” but the truth is you lack the power to do so. You say you want success, yet you have trouble following through.

The average person thinks about twelve thousand thoughts per day. A deeper thinker may have over fifty thousand thoughts daily. If this is true, “How can I control all of my thoughts?”

The truth is you can not. But you can control the thoughts that do damage and learn how to stay focused upon the thoughts that will get you what you want.

Not all thoughts are going to do damage. They fly in and fly out. But they can become distracting. This is why you must learn to control your external and internal stimuli. It is critical that you consciously learn to turn off anything that distracts you from enjoying peace of mind.

How? First be aware what is happening. Turn the TV off. Stop listening to the radio. Choose your TV time wisely. Listen to music that has a positive effect upon you. Avoid conversations on issues you have no control over. After you have disciplined the amount of outside distractions you will find your mind free to stay focused upon your true desires.

Next it is critical that you remember who are you?

You are a person with a mission! You have an assignment to fulfill, a sense of purpose. The only thing that will give you complete joy and happiness is fulfilling your mission. When you identify who you are, including your talents, gifts, and strengths, you will be empowered to keep your mind focused upon what you really want and avoid distractions.

Most people never take the time to discover who they really are. That is why they need you. That is why they want to hear your message. They are searching to discover wisdom and themselves instead they are totally distracted by the world around them.

Once you know who you are and what it is you have to give, you will discover your passions. When you know what motivates you then you can let your passions be the director of your thoughts. They will give you power and motivate you to stay focused.

Any thought that elicits an emotional response within your brain must be controlled. An emotional response is what gives your thoughts power. Your emotions will feed upon these thoughts and dominate your thinking. Therefore you must decide which thoughts you desire to dwell upon.

Your dominate thoughts will attract into your life what ever it is you are thinking about.

This is why it is so important you learn to control your thoughts.
