How Do You Think?
One thing I am convinced about is that whatever our life turns out to be today, is as a result of the thought we had yesterday. If you are experiencing any unpleasant thing in your life today, it is because of the way you have been thinking. “Nothing just happen” is one of my favourite quotes. We create our lives just in accordance with our thoughts.
If you always think of failing in anything you do, just be sure that is what you will eventually get and vice versa. If small things are happening in your life today, it is just because your thought are small. Begin to think BIG and see if BIG things will not begin to happen in your life.
When an idea comes into your mind, do you first think about its impossibility? When you think something is impossible, it will forever be impossible but if you think you can do all things, you will discover ways to carry them through. Napoleon Bonarpate said, “The word impossibility is not in my dictionary.” If you look at the world’s history when it comes to war and military prowess, Napoleon’s name is etched in gold. That is a man that has conquered so many lands just by believing in himself and his abilities. The great inventors and the businessmen we read about, are the products of their thought. What they did wasn’t significant at all but their thought. Even though a lot of people didn’t believe in them, but just like Napoleon, impossibility was never found in their thought.
If you have read “Think and Grow Rich,” you would have seen the phrase, “Whatsoever the mind of man can conceive (think) and beleieve, he can ACHIEVE!” There is no better truth than this. There is a Bible passage I read some years back that really blew my mind and lay credence to what Napoleon Hill is saying. We probably have read this passage several times even as kids in our Sunday schools, but the real interpretation was never revealed to us probably because our teachers do not even understand the power behind that message. Open to Genesis 11:6 and see what the last part has to say: “… and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do.”
That statement cut a chord in my heart the very day I discovered it and since then I have always kept it close to my heart. Napoleon Hill is just restating what God has said thousand of years ago, in his book. I want you to begin from this day to see the tremendous power your thought carries. If God himself can acknowledge that your thought is so powerful to accomplish what you are imagining, then I don’t see any reason you should short-change yourself by thinking so little of yourself.
Change your thought, change your life. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Whatsoever the heart of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve!

You are definitely right, I believe that the mind cannot work without the body, whatever the mind conceives it passes to the body, if one really want to achieve anything physical, (positive or negative) it starts from the mind (thoughts)
