I'm heard this said in a couple of classes I took. ONe is from Seven Habbits for Highly effective people and another one was from a couple's class we were in. It was awesome and thought I would share.
A thought can start a thought pattern. A thought pattern can produce an action to actout what the thoughts are that a person has. A repeted action starts a pattern. A pattern begins a lifestyle. This can be used for both good purpose or bad. So if we start out saying. I'd like to go walking and have thoughts about walking, eventually, you'll go walking. If you liked it and want to do it again, you're establishing a pattern and then if you keep walking you'll establish a life style. Maybe because of your exercize, you'll decide you want to eat better. It can be like this for anything. It can be like this for sex, drugs, or prayer, or any of it. You can start thinking about eating right and then have a neutricious meal. If you like it a lot you'll want to keep doing it which will start a pattern. Maybe because you're eating better you've decided to make more of your food from scratch and that begins a new lifestyle. Maybe it's that you choose to eat at better restaurants. If you look in your life, you can see how true this is. If it's something you really want to do or something that plagues you, then you know the patterns and lifestyles that your thoughts have lead you to live. If you don't like what you're doing and how you're living--first change your thoughts to more positive ones. I will be motivated. Visualize what a motivated person looks like and then put yourself in that motivated person's place. These are just examples. You can do this with anything. We can even do this when we fantacise about cirtain people. Soon, we're wanting that person and thinking we're in love with them. So our mind is a tool for good or bad. This is why porn is so bad. We are very into visualizing whether we know it or not. It's not the aie still, empty your mind and then visualize, but it's more like see yourself being successful. See yourself doing what you want to do. Then give it to God and watch what happens.
