Thoughts Become Things

The basic premise behind the law of attraction is thoughts become things. When you begin to understand that your thoughts are the first step in creating your reality you can watch your life evolve according to what you have been habitually thinking about. In The Secret movie which is now available on DVD it explains how thoughts become things. If you can simply keep your thoughts on what you want you will get what you want. In fact, you cannot get anything else. If you keep thinking about what you do not want you will get what you do not want. The concept is so simple that it seems almost complex or not possible but this is the way the world works.

I have written about the law of attraction on a number of occasions and written a review of The Secret movie which is basically a video documentary on how the law of attraction works but I decided to write this article since this information is just so important for personal development. As you begin to digest the idea that thoughts become things, the concept can become overwhelming. It basically means that you will be accountable for everything you think about and the more you think about something in particular the sooner you will notice that particular thing or event appearing in your life.

If thoughts become things it means you can change almost any circumstance in your life. I say almost anything because there are some things you cannot change, for example you could probably never be able to breathe underwater no matter how much you thought about it. However, when it comes to external life situation like attaining wealth even though you have always been poor, this is a situation which is entirely possible if you change your thoughts about wealth or becoming wealthy.

You are thinking everyday and although your thoughts seem to wander and change constantly, this is just by habit. When you change your thoughts you begin changing your subconscious mind and by doing so you can change your life. If you think you have no way out to a better life, well that’s what you will get. If you think things are getting better and your life is improving then that is what will happen. As you notice things getting better and you keep your thoughts focused on this, more and more positive events will come your way. Often people change their thinking habits to a more positive mindset and as they notice improvements occurring in their lives, they begin to say things like, this can’t last, or they start to go back to their old way of thinking and just wait for things to turn sour again and that is just what happens as your thoughts become things.


When you hear about very successful people who seem to go through their lives and everything they touch turns to gold you may think to yourself they are just very lucky. Well the truth is it has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with what they think about, therefore once again thoughts become things. They make their own luck by only thinking about what they want. You will get what you think about, wanted or unwanted so if you have been getting what you do not want, you now know why.

When I first learned about the law of attraction I intuitively understood that this idea must be true and I knew this from past experiences. Whenever I had gone through rough patches in my life it was always when I had been thinking negatively or felt unhappy. The same thing went for happy periods in my life, when my thoughts were positive good things happen. If you are a regular reader of personal development material this will be nothing new to you but so many readers of my site email me and ask me how they can fix certain problems in their life and the best answer I can give is to change your thoughts and you will change your life becasue of the simple fact that thoughts become things. I changed my thoughts and as my life changed for the better I kept expecting more good things to come my way and that is exactly what has happened. If I ever catch myself thinking negatively I have a special word that automatically pops up in my mind and I refocus my thoughts on what I want. That special word can be anything, it is just a trigger word to help you refocus and remember that your thoughts become things so you must concentrate on what things you want to create. The more you become accustomed to refocusing the more often you can expect your thoughts to remain habitually positive and you will bring positive events into your life.
