“You can’t bring the
same stale you to the world and expect the world to be new for you.” –
Deepak Chopra
When it comes to seeing infinite possibilities in the world
we first have to see infinite possibilities in ourselves. Our lives and how we
think is a result of every decision we have made. To go or not to go, to eat or
not to eat, to take this job or that job, to go on that date, return that call,
smile at that person, go to this school or that school, or finish school at
all, buy that house, or that car, or a thousand other decisions. Fill in the
blank. All of those decisions define our lives now.
But what shapes our decisions? It is our thoughts that shape
our decisions. How we think: positively or negatively, guardedly or carefree, hopeful
or cynical; these thoughts shape our emotions and our decisions. Our state of
mind is a result of continual thought patterns. We have to pay attention to
what those thought patterns are in order to change them. If you continually get
the same things in life, you have to change yourself. You have to bring a new
you to the situation to get a new result. You can change your mind. You can
change the way you think and therefore what your decisions are based upon. There are thousands of ways to think about a situation,
and thousands more options that follow each thought. Your options are
limitless.
Ingrained thought patterns can be changed with effort and
motivation. You have to want to change them; they are habits and just like any
other bad habit. They require your will and determination to change. But if you
are tired of the getting the same results in life, you have to change yourself
first. For in reality, you and your thoughts are the only things you really
have control over in life. Change yourself, change your world and begin to open
your mind to infinite possibilities.
