We take an affirmation and repeat it continually, while our thoughts are on the rampage.
We cannot always control our thoughts, but we can control our words, and repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation.
Your success and happiness in life depend upon the watchman at the gate of your thoughts, sooner or later, crystallize on the external. A trumpet is a musical instrument, used in olden times, to draw people’s attention to something—to victory, to order.
You will form the habit of giving attention to every thought and word, when you realize their importance.
The imagination, the scissors of the mind, is constantly cutting out the events to come into your life.
在人類思想的門口,一定有一個守門人,而這個守門人就是每個人的潛意識。
我們有能力按照自己的心願選擇思想。
數千年以來,人類就是用自己的思考能力不斷地生活、繁衍。有時,思想在我們的頭腦裏會像受驚的牛羊四處奔逃。這時的思想,看起來根本無法控製。
可事實上並非如此,麵對受到驚嚇而疲於奔命的羊群,一隻牧羊犬可以輕鬆地把羊群重新趕回羊圈。
我曾經在一部新聞短片中,看到過一隻牧羊犬和三隻羊的畫麵。牧羊犬負責看管整個羊群,可是有三隻羊心存不滿,蓄意抵抗。它們咩咩地叫著,高高抬起前蹄表示自己的不滿。然而牧羊犬隻是靜靜地蹲坐在它們前麵,並用眼睛緊緊地盯著它們。牧羊犬既沒有朝三隻羊狂吠,也沒有要恐嚇它們的意思,它隻是用堅定的信念一動不動地注視著這三隻羊。沒過多久,這三隻羊垂著頭,乖乖地回到羊圈。
我們可以用牧羊犬的方法來支配自己的思想——依靠文雅的意誌力,而不是粗暴的蠻力。
當陷入暴跳如雷、憤怒難耐的狀態中時,我們必須要堅定信念來克服它,並一直堅持下去。
