What the Mind of man can Conceive he can Believe and Achieve

This was said by W Clement Stone nearly 100 years ago and repeated ad infinitum by every self development guru, writer and talker ever since. Yet today the average person still does not believe it to be true.

For most people the Law of Accident applies. Things happen and I respond.

The truth remains though, every study of successful, happy people has shown that when you decide to take control of your thoughts and make them what you want them to be, things in your life start to fall into the pattern you set for them.

Is this the Law of Attraction at work? Do we draw into ourselves things that are consistent with our dominant thoughts? Or is this a combination of becoming focused and directed and then seeking out that which we desire for our futures and in doing so we find people, places and situations that are consistent with that which we are seeking?

My personal experience is that when we focus our thoughts we begin to see much of what was before us that was previously unseen. Our actions and behaviours alter and in doing so we open ourselves to others that are also consistent with our actions and behaviours. In doing so we create the very conditions that we have been desiring.

"Look and ye shall find" a wise sage once said and he may have had a thing there. All things are possible in a universe of endless possibilities, we just need to open ourselves to the possibility that it can be or happen. An angry man can see no beauty so beauty does not exist in his world.

Self mastery is the art of controlling your thoughts and when you master those you master the art of deciding what happens in your life.
