Do you have the right kind of mindset to achieve your dreams, desires and goals? They say that you are the architect of your own life. So, in order to achieve what we want we have to focus and believe in ourselves. It's easy to do it as long as we believe in the power of our thought. Remember, what a man thinks, he becomes. And what a man thinks can overcome fate and strengthen it.

I would say that the power of thought is not one without action. It's a visual blueprint consisting of a clever layout. A plan that guides the efficient working on it.

Hi Tomitomi! What you said is very meaningful. We have to put our thought into action in order for it to come true but you know sometimes, what you desire just comes to you. Lol. For example one time I saw this commercial of yummy cakes on tv. So, I've thought of it and I was like craving for it for days. I just didn't have time to go out and buy it. So, after a few days a friend of mine visited me and bought me a cake, the same flavor I was thinking about, haha... So, amazing isn't it. That's the power of thought.

There is a biblical truth about how are thoughts influence things around us. The bible says "be careful how you think, your life is shape by it" . As we all know the bible is not only God's words but they are a source of godly wisdom. So if it says we ought to think carefully then we must. Remember sometimes when you feel so discourage and beaten out but then you start believing that things wold get better and they do? That's like positive thinking + faith = victory.

Yes, you speak such wisdom. This is great advice and i hope that someone changes the way they think about the way their lives from reading your words. It's hard to believe in yourself sometimes, and when your not sure where you are suppossed to go the journey can be long and hard. Dreams are what we aspire to, plan for, work towards and the path we take is our path and our choice.

Without thought we would be laying on the ground being eat'n alive, not caring at all. It was the power of thought that made the world the way it is today. That gave us all that we have.

Our thoughts are very powerful. Thoughts become realities. That's how powerful are thoughts are. Positive thoughts become positive realities, and negative thoughts become negative realities. So, we should always entertain positive thoughts if we want something good to happen in our lives. I learned about this when I watched the video, "The Secret". Watch it too.

I guess you're right. My daughter did this simple thing called vision board when she was still in her 4th year in high school. She set up goals to achieve before the school year ends and come true with her of course hard work and dedication and firm belief. She's now setting up another vision board for her four year course in college and she's really keen on achieving them all!

Wow! You must be very proud of your daughter. Vision board, works wonders. I just made a slideshow of things I want to have and achieve... It's so cool to keep looking at them, lol.

I know the power of mind and imagination first hand. As a therapist, I have helped many people utilize this power. Sometimes it doesn't work the way it is expected to work, but I believe that is because it is not in the person's karma to have that sort of wish granted right now. If a person wants good health for instance, it has not always worked. That is because the person has to uproot the conflict in his mind that is preventing his wishes becoming true. The best, most free way to contentment though it to transcend all desire. Desire never brings total happiness, only further desire.. Buddha said this on his enlightenment and I have seen so many times how true this is. _Derek

Hi Derek. Sometimes I guess it's just not your time. When something negative comes into our life we have to make something positive out of it so that it will turn the other way around. It's always safe to say that it could have been worst, lol.

I do feel like there is a lot of power in positive thinking. That said, I think that if an individual is determined enough to reach a specific end goal in their lives, then there is nothing at all that is going to hold you back. However, if a person is trying to achieve a specific goal because of what someone else wants to see out of them, then I don't think they are nearly as likely to be successful in the goal that they are trying to achieve.

Hello santomamarichris, I have a question in terms of the power of thought you mentioned. How often and how long time we should think about the thing we desire then it will comes ture? In my opinion, always thinking the same thing that would not happen on me that is a kind of mental cruelty, the result is we must accept the reality.

Maybe you mean power of the mind; it's called telekinetic power. Yes I believe in the psychic power and I think that this is what you mean the power of thought.

Yes! this is called the law of attraction, and I have written a few articles about it. I feel that it is important to not only control our thoughts, but to control what we are exposed to. When we listen to music with a negative message for example, we are literally hypnotizing ourselves into thinking that way on our own. Not only that, but we are attaching those thoughts to our memory centers, so that whatever we are doing when we listen to that song will trigger those kinds of thoughts! I think positive thoughts and stimulus are the best way to battle depression and anxiety, as well as bring about success in our lives.

I only get to achieve those things where I have fervently kept my self straight and determined to achieve my goal. There are times when I set goals and then halfway through, I give up but then regret it later. These are the times when I thought I have it (mindset) but something in my heart says not. And so, I realize that mindset has to be heart, mind and soul rolled into one.

Well we want to achieve many things in life, we dream for many things, wish a lot, but all wishes never come true, another think we can't stop dreaming too, that is life, thought has very high power, a very powerful tool... Thanks for sharing. Welcome always, cheers. Professor. .

Yes I believe in the power of thought. We should really start by setting our mindset straight. Always think positive and let go of any negative thoughts. But we should not stop there. We should also do something to reach our goal. Nothing will happen if we just think about it.
