Choose Empowering Thoughts

Oblivious to the power of my thoughts, I was easily persuaded and influenced by society and those around me. This included information taught in school, my friends’ beliefs, and marketing messages seen on television.

Those ideas caused me to believe everything I was taught and saw was the absolute truth.

Examples included me doing everything I was told without breaking the rules in order to live a happy and successful life. Other instances encompassed me believing that I’m not “good enough” for something unless I have “this” or “that.”

But after years of challenging my thoughts and beliefs, I discovered my truth – the ideas which I choose to believe in.

After being awakened, I now have designed my life filled with influences that truly serve me. Only having carefully vetted each content creator, I choose my form of information consumption from books, podcasts, YouTube videos, and TED talks.

Keeping up with the world, I minimally expose myself to the global news by reading a short five-minute email covering all the major world events. In addition, I limit the use of social media  – only using it for business purposes and connecting with friends.

Furthermore, because of the impact of my network, I’m watchful of my relationships by constantly evaluating them. As a result, I only spend time with those who support and lift me higher instead of wasting my time with those who drag me down.

The last contribution to my influence is my self-talk. These are thoughts that manifest naturally – the conversations I have with myself.

Although negative thoughts are normal, I don’t give them power through suppression. Rather I acknowledge them and choose positive self-talk.

Despite feelings of fear and doubt being most prevalent in times of struggle and hardship, I practice choosing self-empowering thoughts.

The most challenging part of balancing positive and negative self-talk is determining the fine line between times to lean on my edge and when I should back off. This constant battle requires self-recognition of ambition and self-love.

Regardless of the situation, I always have the ability to rise above the challenge no matter what – the key to self-mastery. And it all starts in my mind.

Cultivating a habit of thinking positively, I ultimately create actions that exemplify those pure thoughts. Over time, I build my character based on those glorified thoughts. Understanding that my beliefs can only be limited by myself, I choose self-empowering thoughts that allow me to become the man I want to be.

Protect Your Sacred Mind

You are the sum of your thoughts, positive, negative, or neutral.

From the moment you wake up to the time you fall asleep, surround yourself with influences that positively impact you to become better.

That’s something you can always control, including the people you spend your time with. 

By continually improving yourself, you give others the option of being supportive or outgrown. They can join you or be left behind as the choice is entirely up to them. Your family members and relatives will encourage you to strive for greatness if they truly care and love you.

In addition, be aware of your self-talk.

In times of hardship, your doubts and fears will creep in. Negative thoughts will naturally manifest as they’re designed to protect you.

Don’t give them power through suppression, but rather choose to believe you can persist and achieve whatever you have set out to do. That’s because you’re always stronger than you think you are.

Your Thoughts Translate Into Actions

Your thoughts blossom into action. Depending on their purity, you will have fruits of joy or suffering.

For example, if you think positively, you’ll naturally embody successful behaviors. Otherwise, you’ll exemplify negative actions.

To truly obtain what you want in the world, you must exemplify what you desire through harmonious thought and action. That’s the only way you will accommodate your prayers and wishes.

For example, just the mere thought of wanting to be healthy will not allow you to magically be lean and strong. You must create time for exercise, eat nutrient-dense foods, and have sufficient recovery. Only by doing so, you’ll embody healthy habits and achieve the body that you want.

Through your beautiful thoughts, beneficial activities will manifest. Despite your circumstances, you hold the key to shaping your life’s perspective by the thoughts you choose to believe in.

You have the power to harness discipline by choosing self-serving thoughts in the most difficult situations that directly shape your environment.

By practicing virtuous and righteous thoughts in your darkest and most challenging times, you will build a strong character. And that’s what truly defines your success – the measure of your character strength built through trials and tribulations.

Closing Thoughts

You are the master of your own thoughts as you can always choose your beliefs. If you can harness pure thoughts, then you’ll exude positive behaviors.

Therefore, you’re ultimately responsible for your beliefs, actions, and life.

From this perspective, you can achieve your desired outcomes by completing your thoughts through activities that are directly proportional to your magnitudes of effort. As a byproduct, your external qualities and traits such as intelligence, power, and discipline are the fruits of your intentional effort.

By feeding your mind with enlightening thoughts and fulfilling your life with glorified actions, you will slowly unfold your vision and make it a reality.

To reach mastery, you must first invoke the mind with positive thoughts. Despite the inevitable manifestation of impure thoughts, you can choose those purposeful ones that support you.

Having the ability to rise above the challenge through thinking and acting according to your highest desire is the definition of mastery.

• Can you harness controlled thoughts that blossom into serenity and self-control?
• Can you exude exquisite poise in times of chaos and turbulence?
• Can you rise above the challenge?

No wind or storm can tear down the mountain if it remains calm and grounded. You can portray the same level of equanimity and serenity through your dedicated efforts of self-control by growing empowering thoughts.

By doing so, you’ll discover you’re ultimately the maker of yourself and your life.
