If you think you are highly educated and therefore you are thinking correctly all the time you may be mistaken, so think again. The way we think is what makes all the difference between any sets of people. This is the reason why no two people of the same educational background achieve the same level of success. Many experts and people considered to be authorities on many subjects do not come up with the same views on issues, because of the way they think. Everyone judges according to the way they think, so no one can be absolutely right or wrong.
The way we think affects every aspect of our lives without exception. People go to the same church to learn the same teachings, yet, some are rich and some are poor. People live and grow in the same environment and they become different personalities in the end. While it may be true that people are unconscious of most of the thoughts going through their minds, it is undeniably true that we are what we are because of the way we think.
If you have faith that moves mountains, it is due to the way you think. If you have courage that subdues adversity, it is due to the way you think. If someone says you are what you are because of the way you were brought up, there can be some truth in it. But if you think that is entirely the case, then you have to think again. Because the way you think is a power that you hold in your hand, that you can use to order your life as you want. Even though your upbringing influences your life so much, you are not bound to live according to that way until you insist on thinking that way.
If you are living a life you do not like, it only means you are thinking thoughts that do not conform to what you really desire, whether you are aware of them or not. If you are living a life you do not want and you think it will change for a better one someday, you have to think again. Your life will not change until your thoughts do. Some people have prayed for years about something they detest in their life, but nothing changes, because the way they think has not changed. Think again. If you want something in your life to change, you have to change the way you think first.
If you think that by praying to God about the things you do not like in your life the things are going to change by themselves, you have to think again. Nothing comes our way in this life by accident or by chance. You have to order your thinking to suit the things you desire in your life to make them happen for you. So think again. Do not sit there desiring something while your thinking remains at variance with your desires.





Emotions and Relationships


People enter into relationships with their own bags of ideas and attitudes. If the contents of their bags happen to be similar or closely related to those of the partner the relationship can be wonderful. That does not necessarily mean success. People meet and “fall in love” with each other because their emotions manifest themselves at the same frequency at the time of meeting. So if you meet someone you think you are suddenly in love with, please, think again. Emotions do change from circumstance to circumstance. That is why it is important to watch where and when you “fall in love”. The emotional frequency explains why people “fall in love” easily in church, at school, in bar, etc. Even if they do not have the desired characteristics that make for a good match, the place and time can bring them under the same emotional frequencies.
Many good people never fall in love because they are never emotional. Emotions are more complicated than most of us seem to understand. Most of our greatest moments in life are attained when we fly on the wings of emotion. Intellectualism only helps us with reasoning ability. The power to act to achieve anything comes from emotions. So if you are struggling to acquire a lot of academic degrees just to make you successful in any field of endeavor, think again. You should rather develop a greater sense of how your emotions work in you to make you feel so strong at anything that confronts you.
The way we build relationships shows the kind of persons we are. If you are not building relationships it means that you are not allowing your emotions to flow easily. If you are not building any relationships and you think that you haven’t found the right persons to relate to, you have to think again. Building relationships is not the same as falling in love. When you relate well to people you are only making good use of your emotions. If relationships never work for you, then you simply have to think again. Relationships enable us to determine how we are doing in our business, social life and personal developments. If you do not relate well to others it means that something isn’t right and must be fixed. You can relate to people without falling in love with them. There are times you spontaneously socialize with people without doing any calculations as to what to say. Those are the times when your emotions make you a better you. When your emotions flow moderately in a relationship your interactions are the best of you, which means that your thoughts are in good shape.
One can simply not advance much in business or any other aspect of life if one cannot get on well with people. Even those who believe they do not like to talk in public have to find a way to create or build relationships. The ability to let our emotions flow is the surest way to place one’s self on the path to success. So think again, let the emotions flow. Building good relationships is one of the areas of our lives where we usually act from our real selves. Whenever we realize that we are doing well here we know that we are in the right frame of mind, and therefore, we can do well in many other areas of our life.
