Our Life Is Shaped By Our Thoughts

                      Our life is the way it is because of the thoughts we’ve had in the past.


I know some people have a hard time grasping this. They believe “Positive Thinking” and “Affirmations” are something “new” out of the 20th century. I think some even call it new age.
                                                                 
                                                                  Think again …..

Many of the worlds great philosophers spoke about how our thoughts affect our health and or lives ….

Thought quotes by Aristotle, Ancient Greek Philosopher (384 BC – 322 BC);
“The actuality of thought is life”
“Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim”

Thought quotes by Hippocrates Greek physician (460 – 377 BC);
“A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.”

Thought quotes by Buddha, Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, Founder of Buddhism (563-483 B.C.)
“What we think, we become.”
“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.”

Thought quotes from the King James Bible
“The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
1 Corinthians 3:19-21
“I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it”
Jeremiah 6:19

A Chinese Proverb:
“A man’s conversation is the mirror of his thoughts”
And one of my favorites, a thought quote by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Empereor (AD 121-180)
“Such as are your habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of your mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts”
Notice the word Habitual thoughts in the above quote?
Many of us go through life with the same ole thoughts over and over again. We’re just like a hamster going ’round and ’round on a spinning wheel … and we just can’t figure out why we never seem to get anywhere.


The answer to changing your life is to Change Your Thoughts - YES, it is possible!
