Control Your Thoughts and You Control Your World
Your thoughts are the source of virtually everything in your life. Wayne Dyer
Correct thought is vital to the warrior lifestyle. Basically all religious teachings, teachings from the sages, and wisdom literature from throughout the world, emphasize the importance of controlling your mind and the thoughts which you entertain or dwell upon. Learning to think rationally and control your mind is of utmost importance to the warrior. Without mastering the art of thought control (your own, not someone else’s), it is virtually impossible to successfully live the warrior lifestyle to the fullest. Yes, it is that important.
Blaise Pascal stated that, “The whole dignity of man is in thought.” When you really stop and think about it, that is true. It is not your actions which make you honorable or dignified. While it is true that your actions are very important, your actions can be deceptive. Actions, which appear honorable to those around you, can have alternative motives which are only known to you.
It is your thoughts and intentions which actually make your actions honorable or dishonorable. Your thoughts ultimately determine your actions. Inappropriate or dishonorable actions are the result of inappropriate or dishonorable thoughts. Thoreau stated, “Thought is the sculptor who can create the person you want to be.” Self-help guru, Wayne Dyer, echoes this thought saying, “Your thoughts are the source of virtually everything in your life.”
Unless you learn to control your thoughts, you will never be able to control your actions; and if you can’t control your actions, you are walking on thin ice. It is vital that you learn to control your mind and think rationally. In order to understand how your thoughts work, it is useful to understand a little about what your thoughts actually are.
