" All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts" said Buddha.
Thoughts, like seeds sprout and blossom according to their variety, and the thoughts you cultivate create your experiences of life. Just as a seed planted in fertile soil produces healthy fruit, your mind may be lightened or darkened depending on the type of thoughts planted in it. If apple seeds are planted and nurtured, you can harvest delicious juicy apples. If you plan and nurture thistle seeds, you get prickly thistles. This analogy also holds true for the mind. Positive thoughts can produce positive results, whereas negative thoughts can lead to negative results. Understanding the cause and effect relationship can help you "think into being" the kind of life yous wish to have.
Each of us is born with the freedom to choose the thoughts we want to direct our lives. We can choose the path we desire to pursue; we may choose the pace at which we wish to travel, and also what we wish to carry along the way. Have you ever realized that you have the ability to precondition your mind to success? When you precondition your mind, you invest in the process of transforming your life. This is a basic principle of positive thinking. You can forecast whether you find future success or your present type of thinking. How? Because what you consistently think is likely to happen, tends to happen! Therefore keep your thoughts right for as you think you become. Thoughts are things, therefore think only the things that make the world and you better.
