Thoughts are invisible clouds that go out & gather up results for us.
They determine what we reap.
Let's spend some time examining how what is on your mind affects what is in your life. Perhaps one of the most important principles you will ever understand about your mind is that you will always gravitate toward what you think about most.
Someone recently told me, " When i was young i said i would never marry a man called " Max ", i would never marry a man younger than myself & i would never play volleyball for a living. I have done all three! ".
How often have you heard that kind of story? How often have you found yourself in precisely the situation that you said you didn't want? You said to yourself, " If there is one thing i don't want to happen . . . If there is one question i don't want to be asked . . . If there is one stupid mistake that i don't want to repeat . . . & guess what you got? "
The principle is, " Think about something & you move toward it. " Even if you are thinking about something you don't want, you will move toward it. This is because your mind moves toward things, never away from them. If i say to you, " Don't think about a big elephant with big ears & purple spots & wearing shades", what will fill your mind? An elephant!
Do you ever say to yourself, " I mustn't forget that" & then go & forget it? Your mind cannot move away from forgetting It can move toward remembering but if only your thinking is " I want to remember that".
