T - THOUGHT 2

" You cannot always control what goes on outside.

But you can always control what goes on inside. "

~ Wayne Dyer

" Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can

change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. "

~ Margaret Mead

" As you think so shall you be. "

~ Proverbs

" If I use my mental energy to see myself doing what I truly love and I

keep that thought always in my mind, that will eventually expand for me. "

~ Wayne Dyer

" A man is what he thinks about all day long. "

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

" Whatever your beliefs may be about yourself and the world, remember that

they're only thoughts, and thoughts can be changed. You may not agree

with some of the ideas that I'm about to explore. Some of them may be

unfamiliar and frightening. Don't worry. Only those ideas that are right

for you will become part of you. "

- Louise L. Hay

" All that we're dealing with is a thought, and a thought can be changed.

No matter what the problem is, your experiences are outer effects of

inner thoughts. Even self-hatred is only a thought you have about

yourself. This thought produces a feeling, and you buy into that feeling.

However, if you don't have the thought, you won't have the feeling.

Thoughts can be changed. Change the thought, and the feeling must go. "

~ Louise L. Hay

“You cannot bring home a container of depression to examine, clean up,

and eliminate from your life. There is no depression per se, there are

only people thinking depressing thoughts. "

~ Wayne Dyer

" We are what we think. All that we think arises with our thoughts. With

our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with an impure mind and

trouble will follow you as the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.

We are what we think. All that we think arises with our thoughts. With

our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with a pure mind and

happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakable. How can a troubled

mind understand the way? Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your

own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, no one can help you as much,

not even your own father or mother. "

~ Dhammapada

" I have come to the frightening conclusion, that I am the decisive

element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my

daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make

life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of

inspiration, I can humiliate or humour, hurt or heal.

In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is

escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized.

If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as

they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming. "

~ J.W.Goethe

" Albert Einstein said that the significant problems we face can never be

solved at the level of thinking that created them. What level are you

thinking at when your problems arise? How might you practice thinking at

a deeper level? "

- Manin sey

" I say 'Out!' to every negative thought that comes to my mind. No person,

place or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my

mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it. "

~ Louise Hay

" Imagine that you're standing on the platform of a train station when a

train pulls up. There's a flashing light reading, “I am one of your

thoughts. Get aboard. Think me.” And the train takes you where that

thought goes. The moment you reject that thought, the train returns to

the station. Another locomotive pulls up with the same message. This

time, you stay with the thought and go further. Every time we board the

train of thought, it will take us where that thought goes. All of the

cars hooked to that thought go with us. So choose your thoughts

carefully. What is the journey you would choose to take? "

~ Manin sey

" A moment of danger can bring about a temporary cessation of the stream

of thinking and thus give you a taste of what it means to be present,

alert, aware. "

~ Eckhart Tolle

“You can see the glass half empty, or you can see it half full. You can

focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what’s right. But

whatever you focus on, you’re going to get more of. Creation is an

extension of thought. Think lack, and you get lack. Think abundance, and

you get more.”

~ nne on

" It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how things are in

themselves. The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than

the greatest of things without it. "

~ Carl Gustav Jung

" What you think about expands. "

~ Wayne Dyer

" There is nothing good or bad, thinking makes it so. "

~ Shakespeare

" Every thought you think counts, so don't waste your precious thoughts.

Every positive thought brings good into your life. Every negative thought

pushes good away; it keeps it just out of your reach. How many times in

your life have you almost gotten something good and it seemed to be

snatched away at the last moment? Choose new thoughts to think about

yourself, and choose new words to tell yourself how magnificent you are

and that you deserve all the good that Life has to offer. You Can Do It! "

~ Louise L. Hay

" You'll find when you get right down to the nitty-gritty of life, no one

is going to take care of you but yourself. You're placed on the planet

with everything you need already inside of you. Everything is already

there. You can't be upset unless you allow it. You can't be controlled

unless you allow it. You can't go crazy and lose your mind unless you

allow it. You can't be possessed by a disincarnate entity unless you

allow it. This puts you in a very unique position. You are a creator. You

can create harmony or discord, happiness or despair, joy or depression,

productiveness or lack. "

~ -

“You are the universe. It is not something outside you. You are the force

which is in everything, even the things that have previously failed to

show up in your life. Remember, as you think, so shall you be. If you

think you can’t, you are right, and that is precisely what you will see

showing up in your life. The results of “I can’t” lead to the next

conditioned response: “I have tried before and it has never worked for

me.”

~ Wayne Dyer

" Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right. "

~ Henry Ford
