Quotes and Sayings

Many a times, we are left puzzled with the sequence of events that happen in our lives. If something good happens, we, almost invariably, attribute it to our wit, hard work and capabilities but if tides are down, we blame it on destiny.

But , do we know, who carves our destiny ???

The answer is “We ourselves “… Yes, we are the ones who shape up our own destinies. WE are doing it all the time…. HOW??

….Through our THOUGHTS, WORDS and ACTIONS!!!

Every thought, word and action sends out energy into the Universe, which gradually gets transformed into our reality.

When I was a small child, I used to see a beggar on a particular stretch, every day while going to school. The beggar used to be clad in tatters, dirty and pleading for alms, although there was no physical impairment. After a few years, we left that locality and moved to a different city. Many years passed and one day, we went to the same locality to meet an old friend. I was surprised to see that same beggar in a similar pathetic state as seven years ago. There was no change in his condition as if his destiny had been carved to beg and remain in a despicable state forever.

But who had carved his destiny??

He himself…….through his….

THOUGHTS….restricted to thinking about new, innovative ways of begging

WORDS………telling the passers by how poor and deprived, he was.

ACTIONS……hands stretched out for alms, depicting a state of want.

His negative thoughts, words and actions were constantly creating his dark and dismal reality….

Had the beggar tried to bring about improvement in his living conditions by doing some productive work, thinking about a bright future, talking about good life, his reality would have been different.

It’s not just our own thoughts, words and actions that shape up our reality, but to a great extent, what others think about us, also plays a vital role in creating our reality.

To take a simple example…when we help a fellow being with the material necessities of life, the first thought that triggers through his/her mind is “ He/She has plenty…or He/She is so kind and generous….” This positive thought goes into the universe and ultimately shapes up our reality…..

When a hand is stretched out towards us for help, the thought behind the action is “He/She has plenty and is in a position to give “.

On the other hand when we hesitate to extend a helping hand, most of the times, falsely imagining that we don’t have enough, the thought that goes out into the universe is “I do not have enough …” Imagine the consequence of such thoughts, which will gradually shape up our reality. We may actually end up having less!!!

When a parent tells his child that he/she is good for nothing…he/she has actually laid a brick in the entire construction of the child’s reality. If the same thought is expressed over a prolonged period of time, the child may actually become a loser for life!!

Our words, thoughts and actions have immense power and it is required that we carefully choose them so as to create a beautiful life for us.

I read about a real life incident in the book “Quantum Healing” by Deepak Chopra, about a cancer patient and the power of his thoughts. This person was in the last stage of cancer and was not responding to any of the conventional cancer treatment methods. He had only three months at the most. As a last resort, his doctor asked him to repeatedly imagine the cancer cells of his body being defeated by his body’s immune system. He imagined the cancer cells of his body as black particles and his immune system as a white sheet of snow , covering the cancer cells and destroying them completely. After a month, when he went to the doctor for a check up…BINGO!! The cancer was gone !! Vanished!! We , human beings, have the power to create….create a beautiful life for us, just by acquiring supreme control over our thoughts, words and actions.The future that you always craved for , is right there….

You just have to….

Keep thinking about it….imagine as if it ‘s already there —– Thoughts
Work towards it……….. like it’s almost achieved ————–Action

Talk about it …………..as if it’s your present —————— Words

The perfect harmony of the three — thoughts, words and actions— will translate this seemingly distant dream into reality ! Nothing is impossible…. The word impossible itself means I’M POSSIBLE !!
