THE POWER OF THOUGHTS The mind of an individual is elastic and can be stretched as much as one can imagine. It can stretch without stretch only if there is a target. The ultimate power of thoughts is magnified by the images or pictures of the upbringings. The brain of a human being has also another amazing thing called static memory. The static memory does not last long and does not mistake. A well calculated thought has a creative advantage over ad-hoc thinking. It has creative imagination’ the so called effectual thinking and most genius have that virtue. Though to be a genius is not a training, it can be developed. What hinders that is enscripted by the past experience from the people cross to you; parents, teachers, old childhood friends and relatives. That picture can dwell in your mind for as long as you can allow it. Bishop TD Jakes says images and pictures have the entire world to do with whom you are. The bible says, as the man thinketh, so he is. Poor thinking or overstretching your mind develops depression and stress and if not well & early noticed and addressed can result to insanity or total madness. Some people try to cure or relieve stress by using drugs and once someone gets addicted to drugs become resistant. This leads to excessive consumption. Thinking without a goal makes thoughts meaningless. The moment you think without target, you cannot achieve anything, its just like fighting shadows. Everyone was born with a purpose and that purpose has to be planned and well thought. Once you allow other unwanted thoughts to get into your mind, you contaminate your brain and have mixed thought: confusion. There are no specific principles of thoughts but creative thinking can be used to develop principles. Special attention need to be taken when developing curriculum for education system. This is because once someone graduates from one grade to another needs successive thinking. This prepares someone for another level and possibly helps in identifying future obstacles of the mind. Progressive and productive thinking helps the mind to grow. The impacts of thoughts are known by the products just like a tree is known by the fruits. The magnitude of your thoughts is also measured by its consistency and its ability to introduce solutions to a certain problem. It is one thing to be open-minded and it is another thing to be focus-minded. You can be open-minded but lack focus. Active thoughts are more productive than passive ones. Active thoughts are ocurrent but passive thoughts are recurrent. Active thoughts don’t build a back up since they don’t refer to the past but consider the present for the sake of future. They deal with “now issues”. Every time one connects the past with the current situation, the future is mostly at stake. It develops obstacles especially when one is making critical decisions such as career, marriage, investments.Thoughts are resources, they are the wealth builders and great investments.
