Our Thoughts Are Like Boomerangs

Sometimes people ask us for advice. They tell us about their life, their dreams, and their problems. We listen carefully and do our best to help. But when we give advice, we oftentimes forget that it's not just advice - it's our thoughts.

When we think thoughts like "Don't be afraid," "Do your best," or "You can do it," we're also throwing invisible boomerangs out into the world. Those boomerangs are full of our hopes for ourselves and for others. We might hope that someone will try the best they can. Or that someone will have the courage to move forward. Or that someone will stand strong and determined when faced with adversity. The boomerang doesn't need to be aimed - it will come right back to us. That's how we all are - every single one of us. Our thoughts are like boomerangs - they come right back to us as what will happen in our lives.

If you ever take a close look at the boomerang, you see that it is a model of how life works. It flies away from us, but will always return. What we send out into the world comes back to us. Our thoughts, for instance, are like boomerangs. We throw them out into the world, and they come back to us in one way or another. Thoughts either bring us the things we hope for or the things we fear. So choose your thoughts wisely and carefully.

The boomerang reminds us that every gift comes with an obligation, and that obligations are gifts in themselves. When we give someone a gift, we are duty-bound to pass on our best wishes for that person; for example, when a new baby arrives, you’re supposed to say what it means to you to see a new baby born into the world.

You have an opportunity every day to connect with people in a way that will bring more of what you want into your life. They come to us, and then they go out into the world and someday they will come back to us. If we put out positive thoughts and if we are generous and kind they will come back to us in the same way. If we put out negative thoughts or if we are mean spirited and unkind those thoughts will come back to us in the same way. The only way to be happy is to think positively about yourself, about life, about others. If you want to be happy you have to give happiness away.

The concept is simple, but the implications are profound. When we connect with people, we have an opportunity to create a positive or negative impact.

When we choose to focus our energy on negativity, spread gossip, or engage in self-hatred, we are likely creating more of that in our lives.

When we choose compliments, inspiring stories, and gratefulness, then we will likely see more of that reflected back to us.

The tool for change is simple: use your words and your energy to construct the world you want to see.

Thoughts, feelings, actions and spoken words all go out, and they all come back. When we're kind, generous and compassionate, then those same feelings will be reflected back at us. That which is out of alignment with who we really are and how we want to feel ends up coming back forcefully with more force and greater frequency. The boomerang effect is an apt metaphor for how the outer world reflects and responds to our inner world. When we cultivate a conscious relationship with our thoughts, we are better able to direct them in a way that will serve us and others."

Spread Positive Thoughts 

Since our thoughts are like boomerangs. Every thought that we think, every word that we speak and every action that we take, whether positive or negative, always return to us. If you are sending out positive thoughts, then positive things will come back to you.The only way to get positive results is by working hard on yourself and your life. In short, success is the result of right-thinking and right actions.

To achieve success in any field of life, you have to work towards your goals with dedication and determination. At the same time, you have to keep a positive attitude towards life.

We all have a choice in what we think. But, what will you choose? Your thoughts can have a boomerang effect that can impact your thinking, or it can affect others as well. They are like boomerangs. So, be careful about the words that you allow to enter into your mind. Will you be one that spreads positive thoughts? One thing I have learned is that when you have positive thoughts, everything begins to change for the better, and it’s amazing how doors begin to open for you because you are no longer focusing on the negative things.
