The past month I’ve spent most of my time reading books on New Thought. Of all the philosophies I’ve encountered, New Thought makes the most sense and holds the greatest promise, so I’ve chosen to believe it and test it.
New Thought teaches that our thoughts create our reality.
I’ve had trouble in the past defining my blog niche. I wanted to help you improve your health, but health isn’t just about diet and exercise. It’s about life purpose, how we think or don’t think, the role of spirituality, how emotions affect us.
I also wanted to help you learn to be more self-determined and independent. I’d like to encourage you to think for yourself and question things you’ve taken for granted. In so many areas we are fed information that we uncritically accept to make us buy things, live in fear, give up our sovereignty, endure perpetual debt working tedious, unfulfilling jobs. So most of us become sick and tired and hopeless.
We just get worn out with worry and fear. How am I going to pay the bills? What if I get cancer? Who will hire me at this age?
Some of your hurts you have cured,
And the sharpest you still have survived,
But what torments of grief you endured
From the evil which never arrived.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Several days ago while reading a new thought book I realized that that’s what I want to write about. That’s what I want to teach, because it encompasses all of the above.
Our thoughts determine our health, our happiness, our focus and fulfillment. Our thoughts color our emotions. And our thinking must be our own if we are to enjoy sovereignty. I had finally, after seven months of blogging, found my niche. And my purpose.
So if you’d like to be happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise, stick around. Perhaps we can help each other on this fabulous journey called “life.”
