The Act of Thinking Right

The state of a man is always at flux. At every point in time, man is always thinking, be it consciously or subconsciously. It is only right to regard man as a "thinking being". Things are caused to come into being by the actions of a man. Whether he makes conscious effort or in a subconscious state, things will certainly happen. In this regards, it is of great essence for man to learn how to have the right frame of mind and be of positive thinking at most times, if not all times, for things to work in his favour.

People often fail to realize the power of their thoughts. They forget how much their minds could wander some times and in such times, what things could be borne out of those thoughts. It should be understood that a man's thought largely shapes his world. In essence, things do not just happen to man. Man is the creator of his world. To create one's ideal world, it only follows to ensure the right application of one's thought. Finding and creating the right thoughts is a subject of inquiry which should on no account be neglected.

Efforts should always be made in thinking right. A right thought conceived leads to divine perfection while a wrong thought descends one to the level of mediocrity. Man has been found to be a thought-evolved being; one capable of acting to either cause joy or suffering in his environment. A being that has the ability to enforce things by acting upon the thoughts he builds. In turn, a positive thought has happiness as its fruits while a negative one leaves a sad state in every dimension. 

The power of thinking right cannot be over-emphasised as that goes a long way in shaping our day as well as our life in the long run. Thoughts have the power to make or mar our day. Even when a thought is no longer being considered, it has the ability to cause a change in the orientation of one's day program. Whether a thought is spontaneous/unpremeditated or of deliberate execution, it has the tendency of changing things around that person. So, at all times, one should always try to live with a positive mindset.

Thoughts are like plants that spring from a seed; the plant cannot exist independently of the seed. This can be likened to bearing thoughts and in turn related outcome. The circumstances that surround a man are bore by the thoughts he conceives. It is only right to say that thoughts cause effects. The character in which one appears is the effect of the cause of a thought. Essentially, the character of a man becomes the complete sum of all his thoughts.

As a thinking being, a man is literally what he thinks. Man was created to be his own creator of his circumstances. He is the master-weaver (both of the inner status of character and the outer expression of circumstance) of all that happens in his life. To help build the right thoughts, man must learn to exercise meditation and experience in his daily living. This is only suggestive rather than explanatory. Man must learn to meditate, have his lone time and engage in conscious positive thinking. With everyday conscious effort in positive thinking, an in-built mechanism is created to ensure positive thoughts for one even in a subconscious state. 

In all, the greatest act of a man towards thinking right is the discovery and perception that man himself is the maker of circumstances by virtue of the thoughts which he choose, nurture and encourage. It is very important to learn to direct energy with intelligence into creating the right needed thoughts. This may not be easy at first but it must be realised that no progress or achievement was ever possible without sacrifice. To be successful and happy in all we do, it all starts with conceiving the right desired thoughts.

Essentially, a more highly thought leads to a more manly, upright, efficient and greater man. No accomplishment is ever impossible. It only begins with cultivating the right thoughts. Start today, not tomorrow! Act to think right and live a better and more fulfilled life.
