Ideas
It starts with a thought and ends in a place you can only imagine.
Visualizing our goals is something that we've been told to do, whether it is on the basketball court or in the classroom. But what about all the other thoughts we have?
Writing is a great example of the power of putting your thoughts out there. Sometimes I write about looking, being thankful or making mistakes. But sometimes I write about the weather, exams or food. What I've found is that getting your thoughts out of your head and into or onto something else is quite gratifying.
Journaling and writing is powerful because it allows the author to express his/her thoughts in a way only they can describe. But more than that, it allows them to see what they were thinking, eliminating much of the stress they may not have even been aware of. I often see it as clearing space in my thoughts, I feel weight come off after I write, I may even call it therapeutic!
By putting what you think out there, you are sending a message to yourself and the universe of what you want and who you are. This can be very empowering since exposing ourselves is not something that is easy or comfortable to do. Yet afterwards, it would be hard to not feel closer to yourself and the goals you want to accomplish.
We may feel like some of these goals are unrealistic or unorthodox, but we'll never know what could come of them if we don't explore where they can take us. Furthermore, you may find your ideas were in the right book but on the wrong page. Seeing yourself narrow in on a goal is the start of an adventure.
Many times, I have thought, then written, then seen those thoughts come alive around me, and at this point, I am filled with peace because I know thoughts contain power, but more importantly, potential.
