This is day 29 of my thirty day Law of Attraction program and together with e.g. what i found in Think and Grow Rich I am starting to realize how many negative thoughts I am thinking most of the time. And I am starting to see what a powerful destructive force that indeed probably is. And it is so hidden and it is so linked to what I have been taught, to what we have been taught all my life, all our lives. And it’s all about what i, what we, ‘should do’ and ‘shouldn’t do’. It’s all about ‘the law’, whether from my upbringing or whether the real law in society or the things that are commonly considered ‘good’ or ‘bad’.
You see, for most of what I want, what I desire, the first thing I’m thinking is something like ‘I cannot afford that’, or ‘that’s improper behavior’ or ‘that’s against the law’ or ‘my parents considered that wrong’ or <fill in whatever you are thinking>.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying what we are taught is wrong or that the law is wrong or that my parents were wrong or something like that and I don’t want to promote criminal behavior or something. I’m just noticing how many negative thoughts I am producing around all kinds of things. And yes, ‘thoughts are things’ and they produce results. So if my thoughts are negative, if your thoughts are negative, I’m quite sure the produce negative results.
And I notice it’s so hidden, it happens on such a deep level, so deep in my subconscious brain. And today to me it started with something like “I shouldn’t use my credit card to get money as there are a lot of charges involved” (and this will get me into further financial trouble). And this is basically true. But then I realized that there is no more food in the house and that there are people depending on me. But on a more deeper level, I believe that the world economy is stuck because the money is not flowing anymore. So who says it’s a bad thing in general that if the bank charges me a lot for getting this money that it has a negative effect. And behind this are some other negative beliefs, like ‘banks are bad and abuse me with their charges’. Is that true? Maybe, but also maybe not. Most money earned by banks I’m quite sure is used to pay their employees or pay other people, and yes a lot may also go to places I don’t like or agree with or you don’t like or agree with. But who decides what is a good place and what is a bad place? So in this case I just don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that money I control, a choice I make would have an effect that I like in the broader sense or an effect that i don’t like.
You know, I’m starting to believe that indeed everything is so connected and that we really can’t know what actual effect our actions have. Or what is actually ‘good’ or ‘bad’ in the end.
So for now let’s examine every thought and just think about it whether it is a negative thought or a positive thought. And at least focus on the positive thoughts, not the negative ones. And yes, i think we all know deep inside what is a negative thought for us and what is a positive thought for us.
