Thinking

Whatever you think about expands. I love that saying. I mean just think about it - whatever you think about expands. This means that if you focus on not being able to find a relationship, not having enough money, not being able to be happy because of some circumstance in your life, this things will continue to expand and take root in your life. It makes sense doesn't it? If you are worried that you will never find a relationship exactly what are you focused on - not finding someone. This makes you anxious, worried, frustrated, and sad - who wants to have a relationship with this kind of person? If you are focused on the fact that you do not have enough money what do you think will happen? You focus on the problems that make this true - I am stuck in a dead in job, I will never be able to do more than this, this will never end. How can you change this if you are just focused on the problem rather than solutions? We could go on and on with examples like this. Read the following passage:

Jesus came down the mountain with the cheers of the crowd still ringing in his ears. Then a leper appeared and went to his knees before Jesus, praying, "Master, if you want to, you can heal my body."
Jesus reached out and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be clean." Then and there, all signs of the leprosy were gone. Matthew 8:2-4
Jesus did not say to the man, "Well we are having a little trouble with leprosy today, you may want to come back tomorrow." "The chances of getting your leprosy healed are about thrity percent today." Jesus just did it. I am not saying that we can heal people, but I am saying that we are created in the image of God, with God's nature, God's spirit. So why do we not believe and think about things in a way to see the solutions rather than the problems. If you think that I will have a relationship it is only a matter of time, what happens then? Hopefully you are confident, happy, joyful and people are attracted to this kind of person. If you say to yourself in you thoughts that abundance will come my way and I will look for it, you begin to see the ideas and solutions to changing jobs, making more money, managing finances better. All of the sudden you have more. God does not doubt. Work hard today at "catching" yourself in your thoughts placing attention on the negative. Change those to thoughts of what is possible instead of what you think is not possible. Remember you came from a Creator that is always creating and expanding and never doubts it. This is a part of you! Remember that what you thing about expands and you get what you think about whether you want it or not.
Namaste'
