Think Before You Think is a culmination of what I have learnt, studied, observed, and experienced throughout my life so you may have an easier path. A path that took me years and years to figure out. Some never get to experience this happiness or ease of lifestyle because they do not believe or have a strong desire to find an easier path in their life. Some are so frustrated with their life they have no idea where to start. Many have been ingrained with the idea that life was meant to be difficult and that we should all struggle. They think taking an easier path is cheating, so they won’t wish to change their mindset. Obviously you do. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have in bringing this material to you.
These words have not been written with the intention of spiritually enlightening you, although some may find glimpses of inspiration between the cover. This book has not been written with the intention of making you rich, although of course you can you the principles to help improve your financial situation. The purpose of these words are to help you gain more control of your life, to eliminate many of those unwanted little annoyances (and maybe some big ones) that take up so much of your time. Time that could be better spent doing what is most important to you. The second aim is to help you to alleviate any fear, guilt, worry and frustration that your daily circumstances are causing you.
To have some sort of spiritual base or at least an open mind to be able to be receptive to this material helps, as something bigger than what we can see with the naked eye is at work here. Something out there is dancing with us; we have simply been oblivious to it. However, you do not need to believe in anything or even understand it for it to be working for you, as it is working all the time, whether you believe in it or not. You cannot switch it off. I am going to use the words vibration, frequency, and energy many times throughout this book even when it is hard to comprehend. That is because all things are on some sort of wavelength that we can’t witness, but we know it is out there.
Take our computers for instance. We turn on the button yet we really do not understand how they work. We can somehow type a few words in an email and within seconds it could be halfway across the world. Now, we know that even a plane ride to that destination, the fastest mode of transport, would take twenty hours to physically get there. Yet in a matter of seconds we have managed to communicate with someone thousands and thousands of miles away. We don’t doubt or question it. We don’t need to understand how they work; we just take it for granted that it does and trust every time we wish to communicate via that method. The same goes for your car, microwave, mobile phone, and many other gadgets we take for granted day in, day out; it is the same with the principles of the universe. You don’t have to know how it works for it to be happening, but it is to your benefit to work out the basic techniques so you can use it to your advantage.
After discovering this, what I would call a phenomenon, I started analyzing my life and that of others around me, scrutinizing my past and also the pasts of people I had known. I surmised without any further doubt that people had in their lives the reality of their thoughts. Whatever they expected life to deal them, it did. Ask and it is given. Looking back, I got the life I was asking for. Not intentionally. Had I known my years of sorrow were leading me to more, I would have made a greater effort to pull myself out of the darkness, if it was at all possible at the time. But now I know how to play the game; I am suddenly playing it very differently. I have learnt to think my way through life, accompanied by a feeling of ease. If you live in a world of pessimism and negativity, that is exactly what you get. Those who live in hope and faith receive it. Those who think wealth, prosperity, luck, they get that as well. If you think poor, sick, dwell on unwelcome incidents of the past, guess what? When I looked back on my own life and examined the pattern, I could not believe it! Things that I thought of did actually happen—simply by no other action than to think about it. What does all this mean? What you think, you receive. It’s as simple as that. Well, that’s not 100 per cent true, as a little more comes into play, which you will discover as you read; but you create your world through your thoughts.
You may be disagreeing. No one asks for a car accident, a deadly illness or for a house fire, etc. and you’re right, they do not ask directly. Yet their thought patterns and emotions of anger, hate, stress, worry, negativity, frustration and more have brought about unwanted events indirectly that will be explained throughout the book. I ask you to keep an open mind and read on to understand it effectively so you can put it to good use and have it working for you, not against you. This book will help you to understand how unwanted events are occurring in your life and how to instead bring forth your desires.
Everything does fall into place when the timing is right. It does work that way with divine timing, usually three or four things will fall into place at once. You may have waited months, even longer for them, but there they are, all lined up in a very short span of time. I think there are a few reasons for this. You have gotten yourself in a much better place of receiving and everything lines up perfectly. I also believe the universe wants us to know that there is something working with us, and by doing this it is making us pay attention.
View the universe as being an overhead projector; it can see everything that is happening in your life—your thoughts and what it is you have asked for, your next moves and also those of the people you are about to interact with. You can only see your immediate surroundings; you do not have the same foresight, hence why we feel uncertain and wary. The higher power has heard your call and is now in the process of putting all the bits and pieces together for you, even though you can’t see it. You just have to ask, relax and trust it will be set up to your liking as long as you do not allow any doubt or fear to enter the equation. Trust you are going to get there and it is all being worked out for you; you just have to be open to it and keep going in the right direction.
This is where many people start to lose faith and wonder ‘where is it?’ and often do not receive what it is they are after as they believe it is not coming, or they think they have asked incorrectly, so they change direction. When you do this you are confusing the universe and it may bring you a mixture of what it is you’re after, or put it on hold until you are in back on track again. It is important at this point to be patient. Do not try and force the situation and make it happen before it’s time to be delivered to you.
You are probably wondering why this book is so short. Because it really is simple; what needs to be said has already been stated. I could make it longer or draw it out, but why? Just to confuse you and make it more than it is? The whole idea is to simplify your life, not make it more difficult. How simple is it to start focusing on exactly what it is you want, take your attention off what it is you don’t; enjoy the journey while you are waiting and trust you will get exactly that? Think about what you want and nothing else. Live it, breathe it, feel it. It is that easy. Once you start ‘wondering where is it?, what if you have asked wrongly, you don’t deserve it; well presto, your wish is the universe’s command. Just trust, totally trust. Be your own genie. The universe will bring it to you in such a way you will know you are heading in the right direction. You will not miss any signs, for they will be loud and clear to you. You have nothing to lose by having faith and believing, apart from your happiness.
