You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
– James Allen

I spent some quality time today thinking about thoughts, and the fact that thoughts have power. Yeah, I know I’m sounding all new-agey but seriously, just think about it for a second.  Everything in our world (that’s not naturally occurring) started with a thought.  And from that thought came another and another and bam, next thing you know, I’m sitting here on my computer, writing a blog post about thoughts having power.

Well it’s not quite as cut and dried as that, but it’s still true.  Have you ever talked yourself into something, or out of something?  You know, justifying something that you really should do, or shouldn’t do?  That’s the power of your thoughts.  Let’s be real, I can talk myself into eating that last cookie with little to no effort, but I can also talk myself out of eating same said cookie.

Thoughts have powers, so why not use your powers for good?  Start focusing on how great your life is.  Even if you’re thinking it’s not that great right now, find that one good think that’s happening in your life and focus on it.  Be happy about it, and think about how that one good thing is making another good thing happen.  Pretty soon you’ll be able to find another good thing, and another and another.  I mean sure, you can think things are crappy, and focus on the crappy, and think about more crappy if you want.  I’m not going to judge, but me, I’m all about the good, and finding it and focusing on it, and creating more of it.  Thoughts have power – it’s up to you to use that power!
