Apply the Power of Positive Thinking
God has given us not only the mind and ability to think, but also the choice to create from our thoughts. Thought is the power of the mind that manifests in the things we create. For example, a beautiful statue is not the work of a hammer and chisel, but of the sculptor's thought. The hammer and chisel are the tools that merely remove the excess material so that the sculptor's ideas can be manifested.
Sages tell us that the mind is so powerful that if we think of a particular disease all the time, that disease will appear in the body. Similarly if we think of success all the time, then success will be achieved. Remember that constructive thoughts create our goals and destructive thoughts destroy them. Whatever you harbor in the inner-most chamber of your heart will shape itself sooner or later in the outward life. Since the state of doing comes from thinking, fill the mind with the highest ideals and divine thoughts.
