Mind your thoughts

Do you think that what you think is nothing more than just thoughts, that once thought, the thoughts vanish into nothingness? If so, think again.

Researchers are now discovering what Deepak Chopra and other notables have been saying all along: Thoughts are energy. And, as any energy source, it prompts a reaction. Mind you, the body makes no distinction between good and bad thoughts but merely processes thought. Just think about the last time you really wanted to achieve something. I venture that if you had invested your thoughts on how to get what you thought about, it likely appeared. On the other hand, if you thought about all the reasons why you could not achieve your goal, did not deserve it, or that it was merely impossible to achieve, it probably didn’t show up.

How can this help you in intending a career? Spend time thinking about the kind of work that makes you happy. What does a day-in-the-life-of-you look like when doing this work? Do you work at a big or small organization? Do you get to be creative? Are your co-workers formal or relaxed? Suits or jeans? Get specific. Only when your thoughts are really specific are you able to channel that energy (your thoughts) into a career that is perfect for you.
