And your Thought has become Attitude
Once upon a time the power in your attitude resided in your thought or idea. This was the seed from which your present attitude was birthed. In your mind it was a well kept secret.
But over time you convinced your mind to share this secret thought with your tongue. In your mouth your tongue could not restrain itself, it just had to let you know that the seed had now matured and needed to be birthed. You agreed, and next? The mouth produced the sound to go with it and began to speak it.
At first the mouth spoke it very softly and occasionally. But it was getting exciting. You picked up momentum. You started confessing the thought which was now your word. Over and over again. Yet it was still an innocent embryo of a word that not too long ago was just a thought, an idea, a seed. It needed action!
<!–more–>Soon, you convince your mind and even instructed it to focus on this thought-now-word. You nurture and groom it and sure enough it starts to grow. But wait, you ‘look’ at it and it is pleasing to you.
Next, the thought, I mean the word needs to be tested in real life. Once again you harness all the resources within you into action. So, repeatedly from within you your eyes are constantly focused on that word, that thought. Your mind creates the mental picture to go with it, and presto it is in 3D! Wow!
The stage is set. More action. The mind now cannot let go. It is now focused on the vision it created. It is good. Anyway, how can it not be good when it is in 3D and getting better. The tongue in total submission has no choice but to beat a path for the word with constant confession and in total submission.
Before long a pattern is established. In less than two weeks a habit has been established from that thought. The rest of you is now dancing to the piper’s tune! Then comes reality. It has become habit and is now part of you!
Your next of kin has noticed the ‘new’ you. Even your neighbors too. They tell you, “Hey, you, there’s something about you. Something has happened. Can’t quite place it yet it, but something is going on”. You look at them in amusement. You have nothing to say yet except, “..mm I don’t know, what is it ..”? They respond, ” something about your attitude, though not quite sure yet”.
When you are alone once again your mind analyzes the comments about your new attitude. You once again begin to create and modify. More thought. More ideas. More habit and bingo! More power in your attitude. It is now a cycle. What was once a thought is now a very powerful attitude.
Cut! End of scene one in your real life act!
I have just used a simple example. Let us develop this action packed reality show together. Obviously you have noticed that I have not indicated whether your thought was negative or positive. You decide.
But I am curious. Out of the many thoughts that you have had over the years, which one stands out the most in your character/attitude? What has shaped? Is it the positive outweighing the negative, or the other way round?
Before you respond, consider this statement: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”.
I would love to hear from you so send me feedback, comment.
