What can I say that is more profound than this! This is the statement in the beginning of the second scroll of the Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino.
This statement is so wonderful to my heart that, even though it is a chapter we only started yesterday, I awakened this next day with this very statement echoing in my awareness as my mantra.
We are learning that controlling our thoughts is a powerful tool. We are not our thoughts, we are not our minds. And therefore we can be the observer rather than the reactor in life.
But the secret lies in becoming aware that this is true, and then paying attention to what I am thinking and what results am I reaping and knowing that I can change into a new thought once I am aware.
It says in the Master Key, by Charles Haanel, in part 6 line 4:
“ What effect can be produced by thought? The reply is that thought is mind in motion ( just as wind is air in motion), and it’s effect will depend entirely on the mechanism to which it is attached”
Then, in the same chapter, line 10 states:
“The effects which are produced in the world without are the results of the action and reaction of the individual upon the universal; that is the process which we call thinking; the brain is the organ through which this process is accomplished; think of the wonder of it all! Do you love music, flowers, literature, or are you inspired by the thought of ancient or modern genius?
Charles Haanel, The Master Key System
The beauty you or I appreciate, must first already exist within us in order to be appreciated by us!
Astonishing and yet so humbling.
It causes me to ponder, how much affect we can have and, actually do have on this planet and all living things including each other. We may feel like we are only one, and therefore alone, and yet, we are all a part of a whole and never alone.
It excites me to think; if we can appreciate and see beauty, love and a peace that excels all thought, in our hearts.
If we can feel that within us, to such a degree that there is simply no doubt, then we know we can see this in others too. What would happen to the collective on this planet? Would we not come together rather than pulling apart?
Certainly worth exploring…I silently observe myself and others.
I silently listen deeply to myself and others.
I dig in to find where I can do better to honor others.
I silently send love vibes as I whisper in my heart to all others, saying ‘I love you’ and it becomes a light that beams out.
Love is the lighthouse that shines to show the way.
I hold space for possibility. I hold the image in my mind.
I very much enjoyed your post and I am sending it out to the world for all to read!
Love your mantra! Thank you.
I just love the way you describe your experience!
Love and gratitude to you.
Thank you Laura for sharing “I silently send love vibes as I whisper in my heart to all others, saying ‘I love you’ and it becomes a light that beams out.”
