(4-365) Thinking

My main focus so far has been understanding my relationship with money. 
The masters of the past and present say that the way we do things is
the direct result of the way we think about things.  Therefore, understanding
my patterns of thoughts on this subject is of paramount importance. 

I cannot achieve greatness if i continue to remain ignorant of how I
think about things.  It is of supreme importance that I practice the art
of thinking what would give me the results I seek. 

For this project to succeed,  I have to work on my subconscious mind
which is where all the driving-force thoughts are hidden. 

The subconscious mind has the power to transform any thought from the immaterial into solid form.
There,  thoughts really become things.   It is the magical realm where we exercise
our creative muscles by consciously making out of thin air, whatever we decide to make.

Yesterday I spoke about gratitude, and how important it was.  I have to admit,   I have been thinking about gratitude for quite a long time now,  and I thought I was doing enough, until I practiced it today.

This morning I started thinking about my mom.  I concentrated my mind on thinking about all of her positive qualities.  I started thinking about how nice she is... how generous.  I remembered her being caring,  loving, and humble.  How much she loved every one of us.  How much she had suffered on this earth; she met my father at 13, married at 14, and had her first child at 15.  Now, that I have a daughter of 13, I can't imagine how devastating it would be for me if my 13 year-old daughter announced that at 14 she would walk down the aisle.  I can only think of one thing to do to the guy, and yes, think Dexter, the friendly killer.  

But seriously,  my mom has been magnificent woman.  While thinking of her in that sense, I suddenly  became sad for not giving her the importance she rightfully deserved.  I don't want to be one of those people that are forced to remember the good only when the loved one is six feet under.   I also thought of my sisters,  my father,  and I have to say, it was a very powerful commute.

I think that I now understand how this law of attraction thing works.  How powerful our thoughts and the things we say through our mouths affect every level of our lives.  It is wonderful.

But there are other aspects of this conscious thinking practice I want to mention.  We also have to take into account,  the seven deadly sins, as mentioned in the religious texts, and those are:  anger, sloth, hate, gluttony, lust, greed,  envy,  and pride.  These are the root of all the suffering in the world.  It takes a lifetime of knowing ourselves to really understand and get rid of, these malignant patterns of thoughts.

Practice the art of conscious thinking.  Deeply feel the love within your heart and think and imagine yourself as the person you want to become.  Spread love everywhere you go.  Let's do that.  Let's stop sleeping (not being aware)!  Let's wake up!
