Simply Focus to Control Your Thoughts

It is in the measure that you exercise self control that you will gain the knowledge of your thought forces and in doing so gain control over your life. When you gain control over your mental forces, you will be able to master your outer life instead of being a slave to it.

We all know that person who turns everything they touch into dust; you know that person who no matter what can pull defeat from the jaws of victory. The person who can not retain success even when it is handed to them; they are the ones who live their lives as the example of what not to do. That person has no self government, they are not honest with their inner self and so have no control of the inner and it reflects to the outer. They are slaves to circumstances and only gain their strength and knowledge through bitter experience.

Whatever your position in life may be right now, you can not improve your circumstances, you can not even hope to experience success, until you have learned to control and focus your thoughts. When you are able to focus your thoughts you will find that problems that were insurmountable an hour ago are simply challenges that will need a little work to overcome.

As in all things you will have to practice your talent to gain skill. Nobody on this planet has ever won a triathlon on their first try, so it is with this skill of thought control. You must discover how to calm your mind, control fleeting thoughts, earn the concentration ability to think and solve one thought at a time.

Start with learning to sit quietly without distraction. Continue by making your self calm and collected, as one with your self. There is no difficulty no matter how dire it may seem, that can not be overcome using calm concentrated thought. Learn how to be calm and ignore the raging storm of emotional thoughts swirling about you. Silence the doubt, resist panic, forgive hatred, and shine the light of knowledge on the shadow of ignorance.
