This is a thought that has been hovering in my head for a bit. I haven’t been able to articulate it to myself and hence the unsettling feeling. I believe that thoughts become things. I know it for a fact. However, I have always found that it takes so much longer for a positive thought to materialize than a negative thought. I pondered as to why. Then an analogy struck me. If you had a bucket in which you filled balloons, you would walk skipping and hopping for miles without realizing the weightlessness. At the same time, if that bucket were filled with sand ? The whole journey seems not only treacherous but every moment is spent on thinking about the weight being carried. Bottom line, the power of the negative thought is so much more, thus manifesting unpleasant experiences in a jiffy. In the same time, we flutter around like a butterfly with the weightless bucket of balloons, not giving the same amount of power to joy. The odd times that we do look at the balloon bucket, we do send enough positive thoughts for it to manifest over a period in time.
The issue is how to see the sand as balloons ! How do we keep the avalanche of good thoughts flowing constantly, reminding us of the mercies we have been showered with constantly. How do we charge our positive thoughts in order for them to stay charged and not get depleted ? Questions, Questions, Questions !
