have you ever tried your hand at building - building
something?
Well, I suppose that every one of us is building every
single day of our lives. We are all busy engaged in building
our consciousness during every waking hour. We are building
a structure of attitudes, actions and reactions. The
building we do is invisible and silent, and consequently it
is probably overlooked by most of us.
Nonetheless, it's probably the most fundamental and most far
reaching activity in our whole life, this building of our
state of mind and our attitude. Every single one of us is
building our consciousness all the time, although we are not
even aware of it.
Hour by hour, minute by minute, we are building good, or so
called evil, failure or success, happiness or suffering into
our lives by the thoughts we think the ideas that we harbor
in our minds, the beliefs that we accept, the scenes, the
events and the conversations that we rehearse in that hidden
studio of the mind.
The actors that get into that hidden studio of your mind are
those that will play out the drama of life for you. The
drama of life is rehearsed in the radio studio of your mind
and what appears outwardly is simply the presentation of the
drama that you have rehearsed day by day, all unknowingly,
building the script into your consciousness.
The building, this consciousness, this fateful edifice, upon
the construction of which you are always busily engaged, is
nothing less than your Self- your true SELF, your
personality, your identity on this earth, your very life
story as a human being, the central core of YOU, is that
which you are building.
Now, if you are wise, if you are intelligent, if you
exercise more common sense, you will, in the light of what
you now know, build positively, and constructively. You will
begin to take concern for that which finds a home in your
mind. You will be concerned about the thoughts and attitudes
that become the actors, rehearsing the drama of your life.
Supposing you were going to put on a play. You wouldn't go
and find the least capable people that you could find to act
in it for you, would you? Of course you wouldn't. You would
go and find the most capable actors that you could locate.
Let this be so in the radio studio of your mind. Bring into
your mind these actors that can do a good job - love,
kindness, security, faith, courage and wisdom. Give these a
home in the studio of your mind because what gets your
attention, get you.
You become what you think about.
