Your beliefs become your
thoughts
Your thoughts become your
words
Your words become your
actions
Your actions become your
habits
Your habits become your
values
Your values become your
destiny
- Mathama
Ghandi
Who would dispute this elegant line of reasoning propagated by
one of the world’s great spiritual leaders and yet each day, many people think
their way into illness and disease. How is that, you say? We’ve little control over our circumstances
and certainly don’t want to get sick.
Maybe so, but considering and refining how you think may be the most important step you can take to insure
optimal health.
Perception truly is reality.
Stem cell biologist, Bruce Lipton who is also a bestselling author of The Biology of Belief cites: “Energy
from neurological thought is 100 times more influential on genetic expression
than molecular (chemical) stimulation.” Which is why merely popping a pill to
improve your mood or fix your blood pressure rarely brings the health and well
being you desire.
Consider the athlete faced with a daunting hurdle or an
entrepreneur being told over and again that his idea is foolish or won’t
work. The difference in their success
lies in the attitude taken which fuels and drives focused behavior that yields
best results. Your beliefs become...your actions become...your destiny.
Nothing worthwhile is ever achieved without dedication and
perseverance. And each day provides the
opportunity to begin again, to replace toxic negativity with life-affirming
positivity.
Yours in health,
Dr. David Rowe
