Constructive and Destructive Thought

Posted on by

We build or destroy…

Our thoughts are the doorway to the inner sanctum of our psyche. That which is subconscious reveals itself through the channels of our thoughts. Some thoughts are based upon internal stimuli, while others external.

We possess the power to build, or destroy. We can construct mansions in heaven or destroy cities on earth. Our thoughts possess the power of the mental, the key to the unseen realm between physical and the spiritual.

That which is our innermost desire rises through the fog of our thoughts. This fog soon materializes before our eyes within our brain projecting its message to the world through our expressions.

Not all thoughts are constructive. This is a known fact, but what is unknown is how this impacts us in the long run.

The Ability To Destroy

Our brain is a fertile field. It will bear the harvest of the seeds we sown. If we sown good seeds we reap a good harvest, if we sown bad seeds, a bad harvest. The person who cultivates their mind in wisdom reaps the literal fruits of his labor.

However, if the seeds we plant are bad then the crops will poison us and the ground. There are two grounds. There is the upper ground (active mind) and the lower mind (passive mind). The passive mind we know as the subconscious mind. It is where the deepest desire, reaction, and truth resides.

Now the truth in the subconscious mind is relative. It is relative to what you have planted. Your subconscious mind will manifest whatever truth you feed it, first in your mind, then through attraction in your environment.

So, if the seeds you sown are bad, instead of bringing constructive results you will reap destructive forces. This is brought about by the manifestation we programmed in our subconscious mind.

Some example of bad seeds:

  • Hate
  • Envy
  • Jealousy
  • Backbiting

All of these are things you don’t want in your life. There are a lot more bad seeds, this is by no means an exhaustive list.

Constructive Thought – To Create

However, not all seeds are bad. There are good seeds. These good seeds we plant bring forth a good harvest. I love the analogy of using seeds, and here is why:

  • They imply a process
  • It’s not overnight
  • They produce their crop over time

When we intentionally think positive thoughts we are planting our garden with intelligence. Why would you want to grow a crop you despise? Did you know your mind is like a magnet, attracting to it the very things it either loves or loathes?

As you think thoughts seeds are planted from your active mind into your passive mind (subconscious mind). Your subconscious mind will draw to it the things requested by the active mind over a period of time. When you plant positive thoughts reinforced with positive action the universe itself begins to bring forth the very things you seek.

Remember, seek and you shall find! If you are seeking bad you are finding bad. If you are seeking good you are finding good. Ask yourself, which do you want in your life? Bad or good things?

The power is in your thoughts. You can either build or destroy your life. I choose to build. Want to go further with your personal development? Click here for more information now!

Posted on by

Construction Careers: Executives who are laid off and seeking employment need to realize that in today’s economy, finding the right job will likely be a challenge, and that they need to prepare for a long term process that may mean taking temporary assignments or an interim position. The following ideas may be helpful to keep in mind:

– Looking for a new career is a full-time job. You must spend at least 30 to 40 hours each week with an organized job search plan involving research, networking, resume posting, lead generation and interviewing.

– Try to have between 3 and 5 active job opportunities with interviews at any one time to make sure that you will receive sufficient offers from which to make a good career selection.

– Do not stop looking for opportunities until you have the right offer in hand. Too many people stop their job search when they feel an offer is pending- it may never come.

– Notify everyone you know about your job search and not just strategic people. You never know who will know someone that has the right job opportunity.

– Follow up with everyone you send a resume to, and be proactive with all networking leads.

– Have your resume reviewed by a professional to make sure it’s not eliminating you from consideration.

– Brush up on your interviewing skills. Buy some books, get some coaching, visit the internet for information.

– Consider consulting work (part-time or interim jobs) while you wait for the right permanent job.

– Consider job opportunities outside your industry. You will be surprised at how qualified most people are for jobs outside their industry of specialty. Employers often look for skill sets more than industry expertise.

– Personalize each resume to the specific position in which you are applying.

– Use action words, short sentences, listings of accomplishments and stress the most significant and relevant information in the beginning of the resume.

– Carry your business card everywhere and always network.

– Broadcast your resume and selectively market yourself to get the most relevant exposure.

– Utilize the benefits of the internet for job hunting leads, positions and tips.

– Contact the right executive recruiters who specialize in your industry and level of position.

Signing construction contracts before starting any project may save you from what many would say is a construction flop.

Many clients have started contacting you and even paying you deposit to acquire office space, other paying for to access to the services within your park. It all sound absolutely great. Everything is going nicely and the clients still enquiring about the affordability and has the zeal to relocate to the new found space.

A construction litigation attorney will try to solve the puzzle by trying to identify who was heading the contract, if the project was being headed by your construction company, then you are liable and your insurance company will probably have to pay up the costs. If the project was subcontracted you may still be liable. If you have a back-to-back contract with the contractor that states he had assumed the project, they will assume responsibility for all damages or claims against that specific contractor, and then they will be liable. However, if you have no contract that states that they are liable, sadly to say you are, even though you had hired a contractor to take the project on. You should always seek assistance form a construction litigation attorney to help you sign any contract to ensure you shall not be held responsible for any damage or claim laid thereof at any given time. Construction contracts for event planning are essential, not just with the project site and the workers, but with everyone involved in the project.
