The Power of Thought

Today I'm going to attempt to explain my philosophy and way of changing my life. (I almost typed "attempt to change my life", but I caught myself.)In the wake of all of the hype surrounding "The Secret" movie and the Law of Attraction, I hope this doesn't just sound like a feeble attempt to mimic the information contained there.

In fact, I have always been interested in the power of the mind and positive thinking. Believe it or not, I was reading Dr. Wayne Dyer books when I was in the fifth and sixth grades. I can only imagine what my parents must have thought. I used to check out books on psychology at the library. I wanted to be a psychologist when I was an adult. As a matter of fact, Dr. Wayne Dyer's books helped me get through those difficult teenage years, I believe. He got me to think about peer pressure and other people's opinions in an entirely different way. I highly recommend his books. But I'm getting off track here.

As mentioned, I have always been interested in the inner workings of the mind, especially how it relates to our outer world. I started reading books to this effect when I was in my early twenties.

There was a particular book that I would pay highly for if I could find it again. The problem is, I can't remember the title or the author. But this book was OLD and it talked about positive thinking and focusing on clear mental pictures. The book wasn't "Think and Grow Rich", although that is another fantastic and highly recommended book for anyone looking to change their life.

Anyway, the point I'm finally getting to is that I am attempting to change my life through my mind, my inner thinking processes. I have other ways that I'm working on that I will get to later. But I honestly believe that what you think is what you get.
