You are what you think...

The other day, I was watching an Oprah episode and once again, I am reminded that our thoughts have the power to create our reality. We all have a sense of this to a certain extent. We know that our thoughts create our actions. So if we think about something long enough and hard enough, well, it'll start to manifest in our lives.

Which makes me wonder... nowadays we hear about an increasing number of mental illnesses, an increasing number of sex offenders, pedophiles, etc. We hear about an increasing number of unmanageable children. When you look around, you don't really have to wonder too hard how we came to this place. Our society is obsessed with body image, with achievement, with sex, with violence and "me first". Is it any wonder then, that if we think about those things all the time... that we end up manifesting those things in our reality?

People often look back to the good old days (1940s, 50s, etc)... back to a time when life was slower and gentler. Maybe the real difference is that people thought differently back then. Maybe people thought slower, gentler thoughts. Maybe they thought higher thoughts, God-centred thoughts...

Just a thought... food for thought... you are what you think... so what are your thoughts?
