A Penny for a Thought

By controlling our thoughts we control our destiny. But controlling my thoughts, it’s easy to say.
Thoughts pop up so easily. Even if I become more aware, I catch myself in a habitual pattern of thinking and reaction more and more often, the moment I catch it, I don’t necessarily stay out of it; instead, I’m inclined to counter the thoughts a lot. It’s like in a forest, I find this tree is not a forest, and abandon it, but only to embrace another tree.
How do I rise above and embrace the forest? Today’s practice is, treat every single thought as a penny.
Is a penny worthwhile? See how you see it. Millions of dollars are made up by pennies. But singly, you don’t lose a lot by losing one penny.
They say thoughts are things. Thought energy is the most powerful energy for creation and manifestation. However, we tend to feel thoughts can be cheap and easy. We have abundant of them, like pennies. How do thoughts create? Like pennies. They seem worthless by itself, but starting with one penny, day after day compounding, they can be very powerful.
When a thought comes today, I tell myself, “here’s a penny.” It’s like when my subconscious realizes we are dealing with money, not a thought, she takes it much more seriously. I feel the shift immediately. Toss the negative one, and focus on what I set myself to focus first thing in the morning, and imagine all the time with my focused attention, all the pennies coming to me.
A thought is a penny. Are you depositing or are you withdrawing?
