Our Thoughts Are Creative!

Our thoughts are creative. This is the most important law of nature that we need to know. One idle thought doesn’t make much difference, but thoughts are like drops of water—they accumulate. As we continue to rethink the same thoughts over a period of time, they become puddles, ponds, lakes, or oceans. If they’re positive, we can float on the oceans of life. If they’re negative, we can drown in the sea of negativity.
What’s your normal attitude when you wake up in the morning? Is it one of hope, faith, and love? The day will bring you what you focus on. Sit quietly for a few moments and notice your train of thoughts. Did you really want to have the sort of life that these thoughts will produce? Choose thoughts that nourish you.
"Our power is always in the present moment." Louis Hay tells us, ”All the events and emotions that we’ve experienced in our lifetime up to this moment have been created by our thoughts and beliefs of the past. The past is over and done, and has no power over us. However, every thought that we think now is creating our future. This is a wonderful thing to realize. We can begin to be free in this moment.”
You Can Heal Your Life (1984) by Louise Hay is filled with powerful affirmations of life, statements of truth. Louise also shares many exercises aimed at facilitating the discernment process necessary to help us realize our truth.
Take some time out to complete the exercises in this course, then record your experiences in your journal. Make sure you don’t forget this important step. These exercises tie in well with radical forgiveness. Review the steps involved in that process to help you with this exercise. The art of forgiving is covered more thoroughly in the UMS course on Forgiveness.
