The best way to control the thoughts

 

We're attracting and creating all the time, it's very important that we control our thoughts. Not only for our own benefit but also for the other people around us who are affected by what we create. We must therefore only give attention to what is good, and maintain a mindset of love, service and compassion as much as possible.

A destructive action is one that causes harm or damage and a constructive action is one that serves, creates or heals.

Input mode is when we are allowing the world to affect us and output mode is when we are affecting the world.

Our duty is to always be in a constructive mode. When we're young the emphasis is naturally on constructive input, because we're learning, and this will continue in some degree throughout our whole lives. However, to become successful, or at least, useful, we must engage in constructive output. This is the only way we can serve humanity, and thereby become appreciated, feel happy, make money, attract good friends, and receive all kinds of other rewards also.

Even when we're in input mode, the Law of Attraction is at work and we will attract more of what we're giving attention to. Activities such as watching violence and crime on TV (especially the news), reading the newspaper, playing violent computer games, watching horror movies or reading crime novels, are not harmless. As we engage with these negative images in the name of “entertainment”, we're actually bringing more of that kind of thing into the world. Is that what we want?

Jim Rohn teaches that our minds are a mental factory, and our lives are built from the ingredients we put into this factory. Dosing up on negativity each day is therefore not the way to build a happy life or a happy world. The best way to control the thoughts coming out of our minds is to control the thoughts that go into them. Destructive input will lead to destructive output, and constructive input will produce constructive output.
