“We become what we believe.” ~ Sanskrit Proverb
I am sure you have heard the scriptural passage, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” As far back as the beginning of time, this has been true. Today, it is called New Thought, although you can see it isn’t very new. What is new, I believe, is people are becoming more conscious of this truth; yet, it is still a bit confusing for the majority because most people have no idea what they are thinking about.
The easiest way to check in with your thoughts and to gauge what you are thinking is to look at your current reality, the current story you are living. If it is the life you absolutely want and dream about, then you are right. If it is a life of lack, scarcity and struggle, then you are also right. You see, you life story will follow perfectly out of the dominant thoughts you hold. These thoughts lead to your feeling a certain way which causes like vibrations that resonate into your world.
This is why you are to begin to think of your life as your story. Stories not only tell something, but they elicit certain feelings. Just think of your favorite movies. You like those movies because they bring up certain feelings for you. When you tell a story, depending on the nature of that story, you and your hearer will feel a certain way.
Think about how you want to feel on a daily basis. What kind of life will create for you those kinds of feelings? Consciously and mindfully create a new story to match the feelings you want to have.
