A good thought Darren sent me

The Consummate Truth of Life 

Human behavior is an effect: Human thought is the cause.  Whatever you do, you do first in your mind.  Your mind, the ultimate source of all your actions and reactions, orchestrates every deed, performs every act, authors every word.

Your mind--the thinker of thoughts inside your body--is the very essence of who you are. It is you and you are it.  Rene Descartes captured this essential truth in sublimely succinct prose: "Cogito ergo sum. I think, therefore I am."    
We think, and with those thoughts we create.  By the thoughts we choose to think, in very literal terms, we create the quality of life that we experience and the person we become.  It goes beyond influencing, shaping or guiding.  By our mental choices, you and I determine how we experience our experiences and what we enact in the world.  We establish our own happiness or misery, abundance or scarcity, bondage or freedom. In the foremost and rigorous example of the law of cause and effect, we harvest in life, only and exactly, what we sow in our minds.
At this very instant, you are abiding the consequences of your own mental choices.  You have been where your thoughts have led you, you now stand where your thoughts have brought you, and you will go as high and as far as your thoughts will take you.

All that we do and all that we will ever do or accomplish is a product of our mental choices. Once we see --really see--that our thoughts are by far and away the leading cause of all our effects, and discover that we have total control over that exclusive causative force, we gain access to the grand key--the source and the solution to the full gamut of our potential. 
 
The consummate truth of life is that we alter our destiny by altering our thoughts.
The mind is our most crucial resource, our crowning asset, our ultimate arena of battle.
If we will master the power of our minds we may do or be whatsoever we will.
  

The moment you and I start thinking differently, our world changes.  It cannot be otherwise. A new mental process invariably precipitates new physical and behavioral outcomes.  The effects are often amazingly rapid.  People can make dramatic, stunning changes with remarkable speed by altering their paradigms. The truly exciting part of their transformation lies in the astounding discoveries they make regarding their abilities and possibilities. Often they come to realize that the potential they are now acting on has been there all along, and so have the opportunities.  When they see that it has been, not just primarily, but only their thoughts that have been holding them back, they stride forward with great energy and seize opportunities that have been staring them in the face for quite some time.

When we fully accept how precisely everything from our character to our circumstances corresponds to the thoughts we choose and the images we hold in our minds, that realization stands among the most significant and empowering revelations a person can ever receive.

Our main purpose in publishing Quma Inspirations is to supply you on a weekly basis with strong ideas, frequently coupled with suggestions for implementation.  Our intent is to help you develop stronger character and reach higher pinnacles of success in all aspects of your life.
