Thoughts Are Things

We are all on an incredible life journey beginning this new year of 2015!

Who would have ever thought that our lives, our freedom and our desire to live abundantly depend on our thoughts?

Because when you realize that your character is formed by what you think about of yourself and your life, you will see that it is your thoughts that make your world. 

And this chapter sums it all, the whole book! It is the beginning and the end of summarizing this book, Think and Grow Rich, explaining why our thoughts are the most important and amazing assets we have in our lives! We truly do live in our mind. Our mind is where all our dreams and beliefs are stored. So there must be many, many doors in our mind. Wow, which doors will we open?

I have always been interested in conversion stories. Please do not get me wrong here; I am not trying to convert anyone as we are all on our own journey and I am not a clergyman, just sharing a story. :)

Incredible to me is that I was looking for something to write about for this chapter and watched a video of a man being interviewed. The title of this video gave no clues to say I would hear anything showing me that thoughts were things, but I was drawn to watch it. Bull’s-eye!!! It had the perfect explanation in which I could write about how thoughts are things.

The background...

The video was an interview of a young man who was going through his journey of acceptance into faith and who came to believe that God was real, though he wrestled with his mind because he wanted proof. He struggled in his mind with all the atheistic ideologies he had lived by for so long. He explained that his life was going downhill and he hit rock bottom. 

But in the midst of all his searching and questions, he decides to open that door in his mind and allow God to come in.

His story is one where he finally opened his heart and mind and how God took over his mind when he asked him for help.

The French toast story...

As he explained the difficult times he was having believing, he tells of a time in his life where he was up on the towers during his watch as he was a prison guard and he was alone with his mind. All sorts of thoughts came flooding into his mind and he thought he would go insane. I'd say he was wrestling with the spirit who was trying to get him to see the truth, just my opinion here. He said he said a prayer to God for the first time in his life, asking God to stop his mind from over thinking and freaking out. 

He explained how he told God that if God would help him, he would just stop thinking and leave his mind to God and rely on God's grace instead. 

That worked and all his thoughts stopped and all night he started to have a strong craving for French toast. So his mind was ok, no worries, no freaking out and just thinking about French toast that he was craving. Even as he drove home he was craving French toast and decided he was going to make himself French toast when he got home.

I can imagine him having cravings for hours about French toast as I imagine all day long the day I walk on that stage of network marketers who got to the top!!!

When he arrived home and opened the door, there was his wife with French toast in her hands. He was quite surprised and asked his wife, "What's this?" "Why did you make French toast?" Her answer to him was, an angel told me to make you French toast. He was still puzzled yet in awe as he asked her, “What did you mean an angel told you?” She softly whispered to him, "I don't know why but I had this feeling that I was to make you French toast, and it was God telling me to get up and make you French toast."

So do our thoughts become things? Do others hear our thoughts and do our thoughts travel in space and time to reach others whose thought vibrations are touched by our thoughts.

It certainly did for this man in the video. :)

His desire was strong; his thoughts about French toast consumed him the rest of his shift. He had visions of eating French toast.

As network marketers, our dream is BIG and it will take time for us to build our dream, but let's always remember the bigger the dream, the more action we must take and every single action we take starts with a thought, which becomes a thing when we take the action to manifest it. Otherwise, it sits in your mind as only a wish. As Michael always tells us, “To make more, you have to become more.” As network marketers, our desire must be strong and so must our vision be clear.

So do not over think, and instead take all the actions you need to build your dream. Remember, Mentoring For Free is here to help you every step of the way, so let’s get building!!!

Much love and appreciation,
