How Do Our Thoughts Create Our Destiny (Part 1)?

Spiritual wisdom teaches us that happiness is independent of our accomplishments, possessions and relationships. Yet, some days we feel pleasant, some days anxious. Some days we are enthusiastic, some days dull. This means that sometimes our feelings are not in our control. The fact is that each of us can create feelings and a destiny of our choice using our Thought Power. How do my thoughts create my destiny? Answer is in a simple chain moving forward in a sequence from our thoughts to feelings, attitude, actions, habits, personality and destiny. Let us understand how they work.

1. My Every Thought Generates My Feeling.
   Thoughts are my creation. Every thought gives rise to a feeling, so how I feel is decided by the quality of my thought. So if I consciously create a pure and positive thought, I feel happy. Happiness is a feeling, an emotion and an experience I go through. In the same way I also experience feelings like peace, love, pain, anger. Suppose I create a thought – I enjoy working in this office. It generates a positive emotion and I feel happy. On the contrary, if I create a thought – I dislike working here, it generates a negative emotion and I feel dejected. My inner power depletes so my job feels tougher as I get weaker. Instead, if I think – I have challenges at the office but I will face them, my positivity helps me to overcome them.
2. My Feelings Develop My Attitude.
   My thoughts create feelings at every moment whether in my relationships, workplace or a shopping mall. Everyone is who they are, everything is what it is. But how I feel about people and situations over a period develops my attitude towards them, determining whether I accept, respect or reject them. So if I create a thought – I enjoy working in this office over a period of time, the resulting happiness defines my attitude about my office – one of belongingness.

Tomorrow we will go through the rest of the chain which leads to the creation of my destiny.
