Controlling Thinking

This is the eternal pursuit of many self-help programs. Everyone is trying to find the fundamental solution for making things happen in their lives.

Have you ever wondered why some systems take root with certain people while for others they don’t? Yes, perhaps it has something to do with the quality of thinking in either case.

I was watching a commercial about one of those only sold on TV adds the other day. They were selling a magical nozzle that you could attach to your garden hose and it would produce high-pressure steam you could use to remove paint. Perhaps there was a bit of exaggeration here but the science behind its sound.

A volume of water spread out over a large area won’t have much effect on the environment. Once you concentrate it through a nozzle if can be used to cut a path through the earth.

Developing the Quality of Action isn’t something that you can fake or will into place. it’s not like listening to one of those positive affirmation audios that tell you that you’re positive and unstoppable. In using those programs, along with the voice on the audio, there is always the voice in the back of your head saying this is just an mp3 file.

Your ability to control your environment is something that you can only develop by performing actions. You can however greatly increase the effectiveness of this process by controlling the quality of your actions.

The actions we perform or the things that we do play a large part in shaping the way we think. More important than what we do is the way we do things or the Quality of those actions. Most of us don’t think much about this and for this reason, we largely shaped by the force around us.
