You make things happen in your life. They don't just happen by chance, or fluke, or a perversity of fate. You bring them about. By your thoughts.
The brain constantly creates energy. This energy is what gives you and the world you perceive, existence. The minute the flow of this energy stops, your existence also stops. So does the material world, as far as you are concerned. That's why a man is only certified dead when he's pronounced brain-dead.
When your thought focuses on something, their frequency and intensity sends forth the energy that brings about its manifestation. There is no line to divide good and bad, right and wrong. It is like turning on a hose. Whether the water that gushes forth is used to water the plants or flood the living-room is something that lies in the hands of the person holding the hose. Which is to say, you create what YOU want in your life when you use the power of thought.
You'll probably argue that you don't deliberately will nasty accidents or unpleasant events to happen in your life. You don't, not consciously. But, without knowing it, you do it another way.
You focus on the result of what adversity brings. You dwell on grief, disappointment, pain, worry, anger and a whole host of other things nobody wants in his life. When you generate these emotions, you lay the foundation for the physical phenomena that will result in them. The more frequently and intensely you entertain these feelings, the faster you bring about that occurrence you do not want. Whatever happens to you is but the culmination of your efforts in paving the way for it to happen.
Lay a different kind of foundation. Build yourself a home of joy, not a house of pain. Watch your negative thoughts. It's extremely difficult, if not well-nigh impossible, to keep track of every single thought that goes on in your head. You can't cross the Atlantic by swimming. You need a ship. Your feelings are your ship. Lift them up and they'll provide the right kind of soil for the seeds of your thoughts to grow in.
There are countless ways in which you can give yourself an emotional lilt. Sing a song, recite positive affirmations, be optimistic, pray, think of someone you love or something you really enjoy doing. Philosophise if you have that bent. Whatever you do, control your moods. You may not find it easy at first. Persist. Insist. Don't let circumstances or your environment dictate how you should feel. You're the charioteer. Hold those reigns and decide where that vehicle should go.
Brighten your moods and the corresponding thoughts will follow. Then see how the pattern of your life changes. And you'll know that you're using your mental energy the way it's meant to be used.
