Favorite Inspirational Quotes

Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.

Ernest Holmes

There are several variations of this inspirational quote such as from Wallace Wattles, James Allen and even in the Bible. It’s probably in lots of other spiritual literature as well. The much vaunted “The Secret” which is about the Law of Attraction is based upon this premise; what we think about is what we get.

If we always think negatively and that something is going to go wrong, sure enough it will happen. If we think positively, sure enough that will happen as well.

Much of the results we achieve, I believe, is because a negative thinker will only see and latch onto the bad things that happen regardless of how much good is happening around them. The same with a positive thinker who always finds the silver lining and ignores the storm cloud.

It has to do with the focus we take. I also think that wherever your focus, your attention, lies is where you will take the actions that lead to the results you get. I think it works this way:

Beliefs -> Focus -> Thoughts -> Action -> Results -> Circumstances

We must be sure our beliefs are in alignment with the circumstances we want in life, always knowing there just might be the random roll of God’s dice to keep our adventure in this time and space interesting.

Since “God” rolls the dice where we can’t see them, all we can do is work on our beliefs, focus, thoughts, and taking action to achieve the results leading to the circumstances we want.
