Do you think what you want to think or is your thinking actually done for you by all the outside influences and there are many of them in this world. This is a key part of life and one that you have total control over if you spend the time to actually make it work for you.Thinking is a simple concept, we all do it all day everyday, but not many people can ever remember what they were thinking an hour ago let alone yesterday. This could be because most think on autopilot and their thoughts are mostly fed to them by everyday situations and people.

Media Dictates

.

The media is a big influence on our thoughts, it dictates on a daily basis what it wants us to think about, it feeds us with information that may have no bearing at all to how we want to live our life. It can put restrictions in our heads, it can get pretty much a whole nation thinking about what it chooses to land out our door.

We can pick up a newspaper or switch on the TV and we are all given the same information, governments feed information to the media, big corporations do the same, we are given what they want us to get and most of it is negative. This can affect a whole industry just by the information fed to us, shares can go up or down by this information, people can worry about things that they cannot control just by the smallest of information.

We get told what to think and most people go along with it and those people do not realise that we are what we think, whatever we focus on grows. Take a moment to think about a very famous quote from someone who new about how to think….

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you are right” Henry Ford.

The Consequence Of Thoughts

.

Have you ever wondered why when there is news fed to us about something, more of the same seems to happen? We are told there is a new super virus and so far there are 6 people that are very ill, they even give out the symptoms sometimes, then over the next few days it seems to escalate massively, well may be it is because there are many people at the same time thinking about it and giving it massive power.

The media tells of a dog attacking someone for no apparent reason, the story is given a lot of air time, then over the next few weeks there are more dog attacks, normally involving the same breed of dog. It could be coincidence or it could be the power of thoughts shared by large numbers of people, you decide.

There are many examples of this happening all the time and throughout history in many different areas of our lives. Do you believe or trust your government, do you believe or trust what you read in your favorite newspaper, only you can decide if you do or not, but if the answer is no, then why listen to them of give the air time in your mind.

Pretty much all that is reported or shared with us by the media and governments is negative, could this be having a bearing on how your life is going, do you think your life would be different if all the information they fed to you was positive and motivational?

Do you think a top athlete would have more of a chance to win a gold medal if they thought they could win or if they thought they could never win. Thoughts are powerful and they have an affect on how our lives pan out, you can know this to be true, or you can ignore it and carry on as you are.

Thoughts Of Success

.

There are some people that will read this that are doing okay, they are happy with their lives and their level of success, this is great and if you are one of them, then you are thinking well, you may not know it, but you are thinking more positive than negative thoughts.

Then there are some that will read this that are not doing as well in their lives and they just cannot understand why everything they try never seems to work, especially when they see others doing the same thing and doing it well and seemingly easily. Take a minute to really think about what you think.

When you have not got the results you were looking for, did you know you would get those results or did you doubt it, even in the slightest. Did you sabotage your success with your mind, did you ever so slightly think to yourself, I don’t think this is going to work. Remember, If you think you can’t, then you are right.

Think What You Want

.

You are now having thoughts about what I have written here, are you thinking that may be this could be true, or are you thinking, no this is garbage. I will tell you, it is true and if you have embraced it then you are on the brink of changing whatever you want to in your life.

On the other hand if you think it is garbage, I am willing just a part of you to actually doubt it is garbage, be unsure about it, may be mull it over and think, well it could be true, may be I will not dismiss it altogether and I will come back and read more of what Robert has got to say about it.

I will be back with more about how our thoughts have a bearing on our lives and I will post this information under the category ‘How To Think’, so do come back and also give your thoughts on the subject by leaving a comment below if you like.
