\u201cChange your thoughts if you wish to change your circumstances.\u00a0 Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them.\u00a0 You will want to change them when you realize that each thought creates according to its own nature.\u00a0 Remember that the law works at all times and that you are always demonstrating according to the kind of thoughts you habitually entertain.\u00a0 Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness.<\/p>\n

Thinking, reading and repeating statements of truth with a deep attention will help to clear away negation and to establish a positive attitude in your mind.\u00a0 Repeat your prayers and affirmations with deep concentration until you establish a habit of thought, until it becomes as natural for you to think in the right way as it previously was for you to think negatively.\u201d<\/em><\/span>
\nParamahansa Yogananda<\/span><\/p>\n

Thinking is actually one of the hardest things to do.\u00a0 It requires true effort and focus.\u00a0 The benefits are well worth the energy because what we focus on is what we create.\u00a0 It is the Law of Attraction or the Law of Focused Attention.\u00a0 Our thoughts, beliefs and vibration ripple out and attract similar energy.\u00a0 We set the creative energy of the universe in motion. Thoughts and feelings are very powerful and real.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose positive, uplifting and empowering thoughts and before you know it those are the actions you are takings and your reality. <\/span><\/p>\n
