Once you realize your mind is a powerful source of creation, it is important to learn to follow this one simple guideline: Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you do not want. Keep all of your thoughts pointed at the things you want.
When we are unconsciously creating, we are in the habit of sending arrows of thought out in every direction. We vacillate, we change our minds, we follow a whim for a few days, and then decide we want something else. This is not an effective means of creation.
Unconscious creators tend to spend much of the time thinking about things they do not want. What do you suppose they are getting? Probably things they do not want, huh? How much fun is that? But when you understand how to direct your arrows–how to consistently think about the things that you DO want–you find that the magic begins to happen.
Pay attention to what you are thinking about. Certainly be kind to yourself along the way, but notice where your thoughts are. Are they on something you want? Or are you simply ruminating over all the things you would like to be different in your life? The conscious creator cannot have their mind on auto-pilot. Grab the reigns and begin to experience the life YOU choose and desire.
It might be helpful to think of yourself as foreman over a huge construction crew. Each time you think a thought, the crew responds and begins to build the construction of your thought. You say, “I want a large house of brick” and the crew begins to gather the materials together. Perhaps you think this thought often, and crew is happily underway. Then you say, “No, I think I prefer stucco, and I would like it to be on the lake front.” So the crew changes plans and begins work on the lake house. After some time you say, “No, maybe a mountain cabin, in the shape of an A-Frame.” Again, the crew stops what it has been working on and begins preparation on your mountain home.
Can you imagine the chaos that would develop if you continue sending out these conflicting commands? Pretty soon you are complaining, “Where is my house? It has been long enough to build a house! Where is it?” By now perhaps your crew has started and stopped work on 1200 different houses! They would probably like to actually get ANY house completed; however, but you are the foreman and the crew simply follows your orders.
Our thoughts are like these orders. Connect with the creative nature of your thoughts and use them wisely and with focused intention.
Onward and upward!
