You may have heard about the power of thought. You may have heard that we create our own reality based on our own thought. However, you may not believe it. And I don't blame you, and I know why you don't believe it.

I am sure you agree that we are only interested in results and how we can get our own results in our own lives. For me, that is what really matters. The problem is that most of us use our current results to generate our thoughts. So you may be broke, in debt, have a job that you don't like, or don't have a job. These are the results that generate bad thoughts and you feel bad. Feeling bad, you are conditioned to do the same things over and over again, and eventually you get the same results (the bad ones). Can you see the problem? We think based on current results, or appearances.

Now, the good news is there is a way out. I am sure most of you agree that we, as human beings, are the only creatures on earth as far as we know, that can THINK, can create own THOUGHTS. Can you image a horse can do that? Can a horse think "Oh, I am so happy". I very much doubt it. But we can create this thought. Even in the worst scenario, we can stop and generate a thought "Hey I am happy!" and start looking for the positive things out of this seem-to-be-negative situation. Isn't it nice? This thought starts a chain reaction, leading to happy feelings, then positive actions and eventually positive results! Positive results are the TRUTH.

So to sum it up, think TRUTH (positive results, what we want) rather than think APPEARANCES (current results, what we don't want). It is hard and laborious and sometimes painful, but we can do it! We have the power to create own thought.
