Our mind is the most powerful element on this planet. All the advancements in human existence have occurred with the power of mind. Our mind is a thought producing factory. These thoughts have magnetic power and they go out in the world and attract the circumstances which are in tune with them. Thoughts are magnets and they work like magnets.

For some people, it is hard to believe that our thoughts have the magnetic power. They say that they don't understand it. But, remember there are lots of things in life which we don't understand. For example; not everyone understands electricity, but we all use it. Many studies have done on human thought process and they proved that every thought has a frequency. And thought frequency has magnetic power.

Our thoughts force us to take actions the way they want it. For example; if we have anger thoughts, we will act angry. If we have sad thought, we will become sad. Everything that happens to us starts with a thought. Our thoughts shape our future.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" - Shakespeare

So, how can we use this magnetic power for our benefits?

If you believe that your thoughts have the magnetic power, then you definitely can use them for your advantage. Since our mind is a thought producing factory, we have the power to produce the thoughts we want. Any idea will be perceived by you as you think about it. If you have optimistic thoughts, you will attract optimistic circumstances and people into your life. If you have pessimistic thoughts, you will attract undesirable circumstances and people into your life.

Five steps to attract what you want in your life:

1. Plant optimistic thoughts in your mind: Our mind processes 50-60 thousand thoughts in 24 hours. All of these are not new thoughts; most of them recycle throughout the day. It is not possible to monitor every thought we have. We need to monitor the negative thoughts and replace them with positive. For example: If you have a thought "Oh I can't do it". Rephrase this into "I can do it" or I am going to do it". It will be hard at first to monitor your thoughts, but it will become easier with practice.

2. Describe what you want: Be descriptive about what you want in your life. Write it on a piece of paper, it sends the signal to your mind that you are serious about it. Be specific; do not generalize what you want. Now, don't think that once you write what you want it's going to happen in two days. It is like planting a tree, and it will take time. You will have to nurture your thoughts to help them become reality.

3. Take Action: You need to take action on your thoughts and wants. Thinking the thoughts alone won't change anything. You have to do your part and I am certain God will do his. So don't just sit around expecting circumstances to change. Take control and change them yourself. One small step in the direction you wish may open many opportunities for you. It could boost your self esteem and give you a sense of control in your life.

4. Act as if you already have what you want: We all watch movies and good actors make the characters look real. You need to practice your acting skills and act that you already have the desired result. This will help you feel the benefits of achieving the desired results. It will motivate you to do more and more to get the desired results.

5. Practice Patience: Be patient with yourself and the universe. Don't expect things to change overnight. I have not seen a tree in my life which grew overnight. Enjoy the process, because process is more important than the results. Maintain positive thoughts throughout the process. Do not focus on the fact that you don't have what you want right now. Do not focus on how you will ultimately get what you want. Focus on doing your part, and the arrest will be taken care of by the infinite power.

I am confident that if you practice these steps; you will attract everything you desire in your life. You have to make sure that your mind produces thoughts which are congruent with your desire. Your thoughts need a particular strength to materialize. As weak magnets do not attract much, similarly weak thoughts do not attract much either.

Let's get going!
