LIFE AND THE LAW - IDLE THOUGHTS

IDLE THOUGHTS:

Idle thoughts are unclear thoughts- vague thoughts, without any consistency to them. Undisciplined minds produce a lot of these. Would you build a house without a clear plan to start with? Would you live a life without a clear plan to start with? Who would say "No" to the first, but "Yes" to the latter?

Unless your thoughts are clear, firm, and steady, you will not achieve anything with them. Clarity means detail, the kind of detail that comes from solid thinking. This is the kind of thinking that is normally achieved over a period of time. It doesn't have to be hard, though. Right thinking is no harder than wrong thinking.

Idle thoughts are also thoughts without any emotion attached to them. We are indifferent to these kinds of thoughts. They come and go, and don't trigger any action. Emotional committment is the key to producing the physical result out of the original thought. This comniittment also goes by the name of Faith.

Faith is conviction, an emotional accompaniment to a thought. It is the solid knowledge that your idea is right, that it is possible, and that its time has definitely come. The thought provides a form for action on a spiritual level; or mental level, if you like that term better. The emotional committment will attract energy to the form and the result will be a demonstrated achievement. Your faith, your conviction, provides the impulse for action; this is the push that makes the whole world move aside to accomplish your goal.
