Control Those Thoughts, Think for Yourself, Become Abundant!

There are various claims as to the number of thoughts a person has a day, some say 60,000, some 100,000 and some even more. It really doesn’t matter. It could be 1000. What is important is what you are thinking.

Most people do not think for themselves. That’s a basic but true statement. No, we might not like it, but it is true. They allow their training or education and their culture to determine what they think. When I say training or education, I mean television, at least among most of our children. Most people are not even aware of what they think and why they think what they do. How many times to you hear people use clichés that were just used on the most popular TV show or cute commercial?

Most people don't even attempt to control exactly what they think. They just allow their random daily thought processes to go on, unexamined and uncontrolled. They are the ones that become the latest TV ad statistics. You can thank them for the TV programming you see today!

If you want to be successful you must determine what you are thinking and why; and then, you must determine to think on purpose. That is, you must consciously and intentionally choose to hold in mind those specific thoughts that will contribute to your success. This has got to be one of the most difficult things that you will do. It is so easy to let someone else control what think and do. Controlling your thoughts, changing them to be productive and helpful in your daily life will take a great amount of effort, but there is nothing more important you can do towards becoming abundant.

You must learn to think for yourself.

Your thoughts create your reality. If you want your reality to change, you must change your thinking. You must think your own purposefully chosen thoughts. You have to control the direction and attitude of your thoughts. Again, you can’t let others take control.

Examine your daily thought processes and then decide to control what you think. Once you start doing this, you can begin to control your life and bring Abundance into it.
