Power Of Our Thoughts

There was a person in a small Town. He used to prepare cigar pipes and sell in the market. One day his small daughter asked him “Papa! What is this and where it is used?” Father could not explain to his little girl. She asked again “Why don’t you prepare water pots?” He thought for a while and then started preparing a pot. Immediately voice came out of the clay. “What are you doing?” He replied “I have changed my thoughts. Now I would prepare water pots from you”. Clay smiled and said “Your small thought has changed journey of my life worthy.  Now I will be helpful to thirsty people and I will also be cool and happy.”

This is power of even a small thought. So, we can say that every action is just a physical form of our thoughts. We have to analyse our thought pattern regularly and take corrective actions wherever required. If we think “We can”; we are right and if we think, “We can’t”, then also we are right. Because if we look back in our life, we can find many occasions which reveal that every action is just a physical form of our thoughts.

As said by Swami Vivekananda, “Watch your thoughts; they become your words. Watch your words; they become your actions. Watch your actions; they become they become your habits. Watch your habits; they become your character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”

Situation may or may not be in our hands, but interpretation of situation is always in our hands. So, we can become the maker of our destiny by mastering the art of channelizing our thoughts into a positive direction. For sure, sooner or later; we become what we think about us. Its only a matter of our choice. Just take a pause and ask yourself, “How privileged I am? What my life has given to me and what do I want from my life now? What value can I add to my life and to my surroundings?”

Wish you lots of positive and powerful thoughts
