How We Think 

We cannot change the way the world is today; however, we can change our thinking about the way the world is today. When talking about things that are happening in the world we tend to talk in the negative now, remembering that all thoughts are energy perhaps we should be holding the energy in the positive.

A bit like, when things do not go well in your life and you get upset, your thoughts would definitely be in the negative. Ok, so you didn’t get that job, you didn’t win Tattslotto, but what about if there was a better job out there for you, perhaps you just have to have faith. You didn’t win Tattslotto, well maybe the lesson is to juggle what finances you have and not be forever looking for that big win to ease your pain.

But doesn’t this come down to thinking about what you do have and not so much about what you don’t. For again, when thinking about what you don’t have, your thinking is in the negative. So, the idea is to think more on the positive, be grateful for what you have even if it’s not much but look forward to better things to come with a positive attitude.

When you hear people speak about manifesting, what do you think it means? Could it be that they are thinking more positively and visualizing what they need in their life not what they want. Remember Spirit will always give you what you need not necessarily what you want.

With all our thoughts in the positive energy just think what we could achieve in the world, peace, love and harmony. I know for some it may seem such a simple solution but why should it not be for we are the ones that make it more difficult? Again, it comes back to our thinking. What is that saying, “change your thinking, change the world”. Well, it’s all in your hands. Did I say hands? Well perhaps l should have said your heads.
