Mind is the arena where thought takes place. No one can do our thinking for us and so we have complete control over what we choose to think. It's almost like having a field in which to sow anything we want except, instead of sowing plants, we sow thoughts. The beautiful thing about the mind is that we can sow thoughts in it at any time --day or night, summer or winter -- and these thoughts can be of any variety that we choose -- positive or negative, giving or forgiving.

We need to understand that to take charge of our lives we have to take charge of our thoughts. This includes controlling the idle chatter that seems to continually go on in our mind and the conversations that we have with ourselves. We need to train our thoughts, to guide them so that our habitual thoughts are always positive and become a way of life. Whatever we hold in mind is what will express themselves in positive and loving ways while thoughts of success and confidence will likewise manifest. It’s always our thoughts and beliefs which create our experiences.
