Thoughts return to us

"What you put out into the world comes back.  Step back and explore your thinking patterns and behaviors.  If they do not reflect the kind of life that you want to live, set intentions on how you want to perceive the world." Cynthia James

My sister who was raising four small children at the time, once said to me that she observed that parents were able to get their children to do the things that were really important to them.  If that is true, it would seem to be because the parent put a lot of energy and intention into making sure what they wanted to happen did.  It is the same with our thoughts.  The content of our thoughts is reflected in our lives.  That does not mean that what we think immediately shows up in our life; but it does mean that the overall content of our thoughts is reflected in the quality of our lives.  That is why it is important to be aware of our thoughts and to train our minds to think thoughts reflective of the life we want.  Catch yourself when you have not been aware of what you are thinking.  What were you thinking?  Is it the quality of thought you want present in your life?
