Just a Thought

That's all lots of things start out as. Circumstances in life fly to us and descend upon us even when we don't really notice. All my life, thoughts have been powerful things.

When I was younger I watched "The Secret" and yes, I believed it and knew that it did work but I never really noticed how MUCH it does work. Sometimes simple thoughts turn into reality.

When we think a thought, it isn't just a connection in our brainal fluids(sounds gross I know), it seems to be almost like a messenger bird. After we think it, it flies away and searches for something related to it and then brings that back.


This year, these "birds" I have really begun to notice, and they have brought back wonderful things that have made me truly grateful. As I began to notice, it seems like these birds got to be more and more powerful and come in greater abundance.


Running into someone that I haven't seen and just was randomly thinking about, having an object that I thought about for an entire millisecond suddenly show up a few days or even months later, or thinking of something that would be fun to do and then having that circumstance present itself in front of me a couple days later are just a couple examples of what an impact thoughts can have on our lives.


Really, most of these were just millisecond thoughts. They weren't dwelled upon, or even formed in complete words in my mind.

"The outer world of circumstance shapes itself to the inner world of thought, and both pleasant and unpleasant external conditions are factors which make for the ultimate good of the individual. As the reaper of his own harvest, man learns both by suffering and bliss." - james allen

Thought control is the most difficult part of being human, but I didn't think that I would have to block out every thought that even mentions anything about negativity.


My life had been so good that a millisecond thought creeped in that was to the effect of "my life is so good I haven't had a bad day in a really long time" BANG. The following day, was.... you guessed it, a bad day, which turned into two bad days in one week.

Then life turned good once again.

Lately I had seen people post things about failure

"Failures are fingerposts on the road to success" - C.S lewis

"We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of our failures as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success always lies on the other side of failure."
- leo f. buscaglia

"Failure is Nature's plan to prepare you for great responsibilities."- napolean hill

"Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success you know." -william saroyan

And I thought "I've never failed before" and wondered if such quotes are really true.

Well, you probably can end the story just as well as I can.

I just hope they are.
