First Maxim - What You Think Upon Grows

From 24/7 This! The Merry Method To Accelerate Success:

Only two things you must do, two Maxims you must follow, to be in the Comic Zone most the time, and to receive the gifts of laughter. A magical maxim is WYTUG™. You can remember that because it sounds like “Why tug?” So many of us are tugging at our life, trying to pull it along as if it was an obstinate, stubborn, headstrong mule. Why do that? Your life can be like the old children’s song:

Read on to make your life a merry one full of all that you have dreamed.

The Ancient Truth
WYTUG™ is an acronym for What You Think Upon Grows. That what you think upon or focus upon increases is not a newly discovered fact; many have known it since at least as early as the writing of the Bible (Phillippians 4:8). Many more since then have written about this simple and yet profound principle -- Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill, Agnes Sanford, Dale Carnegie, Joel Goldsmith, to name just a few.

Our thoughts are very powerful; they are our mental magic wands. What we dwell upon becomes our reality. This simple fact is what makes our thoughts so powerful. If you cast your attention upon poverty, you will attract poverty into your life. If you think about illness, you will get sick. If you concentrate on the conflicts in your life, you will get more conflict. In short, no matter what the situation — health, wealth, peace, happiness — thinking about the negative side will get you more of the negative; concentrating on the positive will get you more of the positive.

Too simple, you say? It may be simple but it is not easy. Watch your thoughts for a half day. How often do you think of the good and the positive, and how often of that which you fear or do not want? Most of us think much more about the bad things in life and imagine these fears coming to pass. And some of us can be pretty darn creative in our imaginations about the awful things that might befall us. Not a good move! Fearing a thing invites it to become manifest in your life. You are using your mental magic wand, your thoughts, to create that about which you think. Think miracles instead. Wonderful, enchanting, golden miracles. Fear, Fear Everywhere
Why do many of us find our thoughts drawn not to the wondrous, the marvelous, the triumphant, but to the pessimistic, the fatalistic, the creepy? I don't know. Perhaps it is because we are told so often what to fear — diseases, interest rates, crime, foods, chemicals, addictions, politicians, violence, road rage (and all the other rages du jour). Whew! Just writing this list makes me quake in my running shoes. One warning after another. One potential fear after another.

Regardless of what messages we may be hearing out in the world, we can hone our magic wands, our thoughts, so they bring us a good and joyful life. Our thoughts are actual things and they have a very tangible effect on what we get. We have the choice to think fear thoughts or fortune thoughts.

The Golden Key To Happiness
What do we do when we are having thoughts about things we do not want to attract to us? Say we are concerned about our finances and thinking about our lack of money. Or we are worried about a symptom so are fretting about disease. A relationship is ending and we are dwelling on loneliness. In each of these cases, we are doing exactly the wrong thing. Fearing something invites it. Okay, so what do we do instead? We think about what we want instead of what we are fearing. We become a magnet for the good.

Perhaps we do not know what we want? Surprisingly, this is a problem with many, many people. You say to them, "Here is a magic wand. You can have anything you wish." They do not know what to wish for! Do you? We recommend that you do figure it out as we are giving you that magic wand -- your thoughts.

Until you know what you desire, let me tell you of an alternative method when you find yourself thinking of things you do not want. Emmet Fox calls this the Golden Key. It is very simple. He describes it in his Power Through Constructive Thinking (first published back in 1932 with multiple reprints since then) : "Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God instead." Fox says that this Golden Key will allow you to get yourself out of any difficulty.

For those who believe in God, think of the attributes of God -- wisdom, truth, love, whatever else you believe. For those who do not believe in God, you can still think of wisdom, truth, love, joy — something powerful and good. My favorite recommendation for using the Golden Key is to think about joy. Feeling is what gives power to a thought and it is easiest for me to attach strong and positive feelings to the thought of joy. Love is also a thought that brings strong feelings for many. What you think about in using the Golden Key will be personal to you.

Sometimes the thought of things negative are very persistent, so persistent you do not seem to be able to use the Golden Key. Not long ago, I was very upset at a person, too upset to turn to any lofty thoughts at all. As I filled a glass with water at the sink, my eyes rested on a spice bottle. I began to appreciate the red letters that spelled out “Cayenne Pepper.” By turning to the red of the letters, I was able to lose the thoughts that had been upsetting me. If you are overwhelmed with negative thoughts, find anything positive in your environment, no matter how seemingly trivial, and use it as your Golden Key.

The Gold Of Mental Alchemy
Hermetic philosophy calls this substitution of one thought for another mental transmutation. Transmutation was the word often used to label what alchemists supposedly did -- changing lowly metals, such as lead into valuable metals, such as gold. Mental transmutation is changing lowly fear thoughts into valuable joy thoughts. You become an alchemist of your thoughts. When you turn to the gold and silver thoughts, you rise above those leaden fears.

And you can have that of which you have only dreamed before. Joyfully, happily, yes, merrily . . .

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream.
