Thoughts Create Behavior

 

" Cause and effect are

as absolute and undeviating in the hidden realm of thought as in the world of

visible and material things. " -- As A Man Thinketh

 

We remember from science

class Newton's

physical law that " every action creates an equal and opposite

reaction. " Or, every cause has an effect. And because it is a law, it is

absolute and undeviating. It always happens -- in every circumstance, under

every condition.

 

James Allen says the same

law that applies in the physical also applies in the world of thought. Every

effect must have an originating cause. Our life does not develop as a result of

chance but as a result of causes.

 

In the thought world, a

thought (the cause) creates a feeling (the effect). Feelings can eventually materialize

in the physical world because they create actions or behavior.

These actions cause results

or outcomes, and thus our life goes.

 

When we say a person

" looks worried " what has taken place? A negative thought of some kind

(the cause) triggered a feeling of worry (the effect) that materialized in the

physical world through the person's facial actions. Those feelings may also

materialize in other ways. For instance, by increased blood pressure or nausea.

All of these " effects " originated from the original cause which was a

thought.

 

Dr. Wayne Dyer writes that

" all of our behavior results from the thoughts that preceded it... So the

thing to work on is not your behavior but the thing that caused your behavior,

your thoughts. "

 

That was so liberating to me

because I was so frustrated in trying to change the behaviors that I knew were

causing the pain in my life. But I had been working on the wrong thing.

 

We cannot change anything in

our life without first changing the originating cause. And everything in our

life originates in our thoughts.

 

As Jim Rohn says: " if

the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as

we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion

over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while

we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. "

 

And that's worth thinking

about.
