Thoughts & Actions

ByMatthew

By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action, you receive it. – Wallace Wattles

I would tweak Wattles’ language to the following:

By thought, the thing you want is brought close to you. By acting you bring it into your life.

Maybe that’s what Wattles meant, and we’re (or just me . . . .) limited in not understanding the language he used back then.

Regardless, the truth for us here is our thoughts create our possibilities and our actions create our realities.

Want something in your life?

You must think the thoughts and do the actions required.

It’s no secret.

    I have ridden motorcycles for over three years now. It was only a couple months ago that I was introduced to ear plugs. A friend asked if I had some ear plugs as I was leaving his house and I (somewhat sheepishly) said “No.” I then admitted that  had never used them while riding. Without…

  • Default vs Intentional

    ByMatthew

    Default. Habitual. Less-than-fully-Conscious. Routine. Comfortable. The Usual. So much of what we do is out of habit. It’s routine. It’s just the way we do it. There’s good reason for how this happens and why. We’re built to create and use routines and habits. It’s efficient. It leaves room to focus on threats and survival. It’s primitive….
