The Power of Thought

The Power of thought is incredible.

We have to be aware of our thoughts - they are powerful cosmic waves in the universal sea of energy we live in.

The most potent form of energy is thought because thought-waves are cosmic waves penetrating all time and space.

• Watch your thoughts, they become words.
• Watch your words, they become actions.
• Watch your actions, they become habits.
• Watch your habits, they become your character.
• Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

A man is but the product of his thoughts - what he thinks, he becomes.

Mahatma Gandhi
Our thoughts are very powerful and science is doing exciting experiments with the power of thought.

Since the power of thought is a very potent form of energy that penetrates all time and space we need to be aware of what we think.
Fortunate for the human race we are able to control our thoughts. We can use our mind and practice the process of thinking. We can make ourselves think thoughts of what we want to be or have.
In 1903 Wallace D Wattles wrote his book "The Science of Getting Rich" and a central part of the book is about thinking regardless of circumstance.
To think what you want to think is to think truth regardless of appearances. To think according to appearances is easy. To think truth regardless of appearances is laborious and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work you have to perform.
We can choose to think as an optimist and have a positive view on life. We can choose steps of positive thinkingor we can choose to think as a pessimist. It is entirely up to each and one of us as outlined in the poem by Norman Van Horne:


When you're gifted with the power of thought
It is a wonderful thing in a way,
But it can also create problems
If your thoughts tend to go astray.
The power of thought brings things to light
That we tend to postpone
But now folks with the power of thoughts
Have today become quite known
So if you posses the power of thought
And don't know how to use it
Consult others who have the same quality,
But very seldom abuse it.
For the Lord gave us the power of thought
To do with as we choose
So hang on to it, always,
It is one power you don't want to lose!

Norman Van Horne



"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty" - Winston Churchill

"Difficulties mastered are opportunities won" - Winston Churchill

"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else" - Winston Churchill


"I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will" - Clint Eastwood If you decide to really achieve something in your life - you will. It is all a matter of how you think about yourself and what you think you are capable of. The power of positive thinking is incredible.
You can work wonders with the power of thought. Through the instrumentality of thought, you acquire creative power.
In his book A Happy Pocket Full of Money David Cameron talks about the power of thought and capability:
