Pearls of Wisdom

Pure Thoughts

If we make no effort at all, our thoughts usually scatter in a vast array of directions. They start and stop and move in surprising ways from one second to the next. If we try to follow our thoughts without controlling them, we will be amazed at how truly inconsistent they are. Yet, if we apply our minds to a specific task, especially one that interests us, they gather together and allow us to focus our attention, creating great power and energy. This is what is known as pure thought, because it is undistracted.

The law of attraction—like attracts like—influences all energy, including our thoughts, and this is what makes pure thought so potent. Our undistracted thoughts create a powerful magnet that draws similar energy into our vibrational field. As a result, the longer we are able to hold positive thoughts in our minds, the more powerful the positive energy around us becomes. We don’t need to focus on action and controlling so much when we are surrounded by energy that draws what we want toward us. We can simply respond to the opportunities that naturally come our way. When this is the essence of our experience, we can go with the flow, knowing that we will be okay.

If pure thought is a body, it is our emotions that supply the heart that can really bring it to life. Our thoughts and feelings exist in relation to one another, and they form a feedback loop through which they communicate and empower each other. When we hold a thought in our mind without being distracted, we have achieved pure thought. When we have a positive emotional response to that thought, we enable it to dance and move and breathe itself into existence.

Allah says (in the interpretation of the meaning): `Certainly, We shall test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits; but give glad tidings to the patient - those who, when afflicted with calamity say, `Truly to Allah we belong, and truly to Him shall we return.` It is those who will be awarded blessings and mercy from their Lord; and it is those who are the guided ones.` [Surah Baqarah, 2:155-157]

“Abundance is a spiritual quality; we are impoverished or abundant first within our consciousness, and then in the material realm.”—David Daniel Kennedy

As the New Year begins the primary focus of most individuals is to make more money. Everyone asserts, ‘this is my year,’ ‘it’s my time,’ and all kinds of positive statements. There is however a profound truth within David Kennedy’s quote.

Abundance begins within. Prosperity begins with. Gratitude begins within. Your outer world can only mirror what exists within your inner world. If you are focused on prosperity but deep down believe that you are not worthy of abundance or that you are not financially capable of handling large sums of money, you will block yourself from receiving the abundance you seek.

You must ask yourself:

Do I choose wealth?

Do I feel worthy of wealth?

Can I handle being prosperous?

How do I view wealthy people?

Subconsciously you may think wealthy people are greedy and prevent yourself from becoming wealthy and living your life in a state of “greed.” If you truly want abundance in this New Year, make sure your consciousness is living in an accepted state of abundance – you want it, you know you deserve it, you believe it can come to you, and you’re willing to do the action steps to achieve it. As you believe, so it will be.

I wish you amazing prosperity this year. May you attract all the riches and opportunity you know you deserve!

Live a Life You Love!
