Our mind and body are constantly changing and evolving. Is your body the same as it was 5 years ago or 10 years ago? The question should be, how do we change our mind and body for our greatest good, happiness and success.
The only control we have is through thoughts, words and actions. Enough thoughts creates feelings and emotions. Enough words creates feelings and emotions. Behavior is enough thinking or speaking that results in action.
You can think yourself into exhaustion if you dwell on lack of energy or lack of enthusiasm. Or you can think of yourself as strong if you dwell on the infinite and limitless source that lives inside you. You can think yourself into sickness if you only dwell on your symptoms and pain. Or you can think yourself into health if you focus on faith, wisdom and love.
When you focus on faith, how much energy is left on fear? When you focus all your attention on faith, how much energy is left on feelings of lack? When you focus on wisdom, inspiration and enlightenment, are you more likely to make wise choices or poor choices?
Whatever you entertain in your mind, you project into your body and your every day choices. When you reflect on love, how much space is there for anger, bitterness and pessimism? It all depends on how much energy you focus and act on positive emotions rather than negative emotions.
I use these 3 emotions of faith, wisdom and love because they are so important to greater health, joy and success. Faith is the opposite of fear. It’s also the opposite of lack. It’s the opposite of pessimism. Wisdom is what allows us to make wise choices and put our faith into action. Love is what God is, and when we dwell on love rather than anger, bitterness and pessimism, we’re in alignment with the divine. Self love and loving others is God in action.
Symptoms only control us to the degree we allow them to. Failure only controls us to the degree we allow it to. It’s our reaction that defines us and the life that unfolds. If we focus all our mental energy on our symptoms and pain, we give the symptoms greater power. If we focus all our energy on failure, little energy is left for learning, growing and transformation.
You only have so much energy until you need to rest and rejuvenate your body. Use that time wisely, and you’ll have greater health, joy and success.
