Our Thoughts Create Our Reality

“Our thoughts create our reality. Where we put our focus is the direction

we tend to go.” – Peter McWilliams

It sounds easy. Just focus on something you want to have or want to achieve in your life, and then attract that object or goal to yourself. It’s almost like the universe conspires to help you get what you asked for. Consider what actor/comedian Jim Carrey did at the start of his career. He reportedly wrote himself a check for $15 million and kept that intention in his mind as he built his career until he actually did have that much money (and then some) in his bank account.

Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder John Kappas, Ph.D., stated that we begin to write our individualized subconscious mental scripts from a very young age. Furthermore, we will behave and even think in ways that are consistent with that script even when it doesn’t facilitate achievement of our personal goals. It wants (and tries) to help you realize your goals whether they are great or small, beneficial or detrimental to your well-being. After all, you are the one who created that script, right?

So what happens when you muse about something negative just for a split-second and that is what manifests in your life? Remember, the subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between your passing thought about the frequency of rear-end car crashes and your true desire to have a safe journey when an SUV smashes into your new car two seconds later. You can think, I didn’t mean it! But it’s too late: your subconscious mind has already sent that thought out and the universe has replied.

As the examples above demonstrated, your subconscious mind will put a specific mental script into action as soon as the opportunity arrives for you to enact it, so you can “get” what your SCM thinks you want (or wanted). Therefore, it is important to always be mindful of what you are thinking about or telling yourself, because your subconscious mind is paying attention to every word (thought) in the subconscious mental script you created.
