Thought = Creation
By Dr. David Jowdy of Hansa Center For Optimum Health
I can remember back in Little League Baseball, when I was the smallest kid on the team, and certainly the least athletic. When the coach told me to go play right field, I knew I was the proverbial “last kid picked” on the team, which didn’t exactly instill a great deal of confidence in my abilities. Suddenly, after 5 and 2/3 innings of picking flowers and staring off into space, it’s down to the last batter and if they get a hit, the game’s over and we lose. For the first time in a few hours, I’m suddenly terrified and can’t stop thinking to myself, “please don’t hit it to me, please don’t hit it to me, please don’t hit it to me.” What happened next was incredibly predictable: here’s the pitch, and a swing….CRACK, a hit to……where else, right field! I SAID DON’T HIT IT TO ME! Well, I didn’t have time to debate it with the universe, I had to catch the ball and save the game. So, my mindset had to change and it had to change in a hurry. I kept my eye on the ball and thought to myself, “you can catch it, you can catch it, you can catch it.” As the ball came closer, my fear turned to excitement (with the help of a little adrenaline). Moments later, the ball was in my glove, disaster was averted and a dozen little boys were running around like, well, little boys. Moral of the story: if you think it, it can (and most likely will) happen. This story had a happy ending, but they don’t always end this way. What would have happened if my mindset hadn’t changed so quickly, if I had stayed in panic mode and let fear rule the situation? Probably would have dropped the ball or maybe even something worse, like the ball hitting me in the head. There wouldn’t have been any celebration, I can be certain of that. This principle of “Thought = Creation” applies whether you are a little leaguer or you’ve been suffering from any sort of ailment. A positive thought is 100x more powerful than a negative one, so even when it feels like the game of life is too much for you to handle, if you change your mindset and take control of your fears, you can and will accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Dear Dr. Jowdy,
I know this yet it is nice to be reminded of it.
Thanks,
Dina
Thanks for the article Dr. Jowdy. I noticed that when I focus on positive intention or at least just focus on the process, things tend to turn out better.
