Expect What You Think About | Conscious Cache

We are our thoughts and what we think about. Our prevailing thoughts, both subconscious and conscious, construct our everyday reality. We must become the gatekeepers of our thoughts if we want a different experience of life.

"There is a thinking stuff, from which all things are made." Wallace D. Wattles

Transcript

This is Conscious Cash,

And I'm your host,

Thomas De Schutter.

This is a show about money.

It's not like any other show about money,

Because it's not about getting rich.

It's not about having all the money.

It's about seeing money as energy,

And learning to harness that energy for your best outcomes,

To live the life you want to live,

With no regrets,

No excuses,

And with grace and ease.

Welcome to Conscious Cash,

Episode 7.

I am your host,

Thomas De Schutter,

And I'll kick off this show with something I love.

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made,

In which in its original state permeates,

Penetrates,

And fills the inner spaces of the universe.

Yes,

I took that from the beginning.

Wallace D.

Wattles is the author.

The book was written in the early 1900s.

And it is something that as I age,

Becomes very,

Very much a way of life,

And a truth beyond measure for me.

I am the way of life,

And I am the way of life.

I am clear through my own life experience that,

That which I think about,

That which I constantly ruminate on,

Those thoughts that drive my daily activities,

Routines,

My daily space,

Are in fact what show up in my life.

We are thinking substance,

And thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about.

We are thinking substance,

And thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about.

Wow.

You know,

In other words,

It says it right there.

What we think about ends up showing up in our lives,

In every aspect of our lives.

That's what shows up.

Now,

It's true that some things might be too far gone down the road that we can shift them or we can change them.

However,

You can begin today through thought,

Creating a life that is worthy of creation.

Your creation.

We are best suited as creators,

Not competitors at the expense of others.

We are best suited as creators.

And what I think about with that is,

I was walking the other day with my dog,

And I was thinking,

You know,

What is that?

How can I illustrate that?

How can I think about that in terms of just putting something simply?

And so I was thinking,

You know,

If I have one apple and I see somebody over there has 10 apples,

And you know,

Apples are the greatest thing in the world to have,

I could be in a place of,

You know,

First of all,

Jealousy and I guess regret towards them,

And feeling like,

Well,

Why do they get 10 apples?

I should have 10 apples too.

I have the right to 10 apples.

And so I could go down a road of trying to justify my own anger and my own lack by tearing somebody else down,

By looking upon them and thinking less of them in order to build myself up.

Or I could say,

Hey,

They've got 10 apples.

Well,

Gosh darn it,

I could have 10 apples too.

And how can I go about attracting 10 apples into my life?

How can I go about bringing 10 apples into my own world?

Not by taking them out,

Not by competing and going after them so that they have less,

But actually creating in my life the ability to bring in nine more apples so I have 10.

And maybe what I can do is look at how they accomplish getting 10 apples in their life.

What did they do?

Maybe I can have a conversation with them and find out what it is that they do that works.

Doesn't mean I have to do it,

But it might trigger an idea that I can develop for myself and put my creative flow into the world that will then have those very valuable and very precious nine more apples show up in my life.

And so when I was thinking about this,

I was thinking about the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis.

And for those that don't know,

And this isn't intended to have a Bible discussion.

This is intended as an example of where can we look historically for illustrations or attempts to teach things of how we operate as human beings.

And so Cain and Abel were the first sons,

Children of Adam and Eve.

And so Abel and Cain were both asked to bring God a gift.

And so they both did.

And basically God says,

Abel's yours is awesome and amazing.

Cain's not really digging yours and you could do better.

And so the end result is Cain is upset about this and goes down that path of why is Abel more looked favorably upon than me?

And why was his gift more precious to God than mine?

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm just going to go out into the field and take Abel out.

And he kills his brother.

Now instead of,

And there was,

I don't have the exact wording here in front of me,

But there was saying,

You know,

God did say to Cain like you could do this,

You could do better and you know how and just,

You know,

Bring up your game a little.

And instead Cain goes down that path of competition.

How can I,

You know,

Deal with this while the easiest way I could deal with this is just kill my brother,

Not actually be creative and figure out how I could do better with what I have.

And then from that point on Cain is given a mark and he goes through the rest of his life with this mark,

Sort of pointing out that,

You know,

What he did.

And I think that's kind of the message there.

I think that's what we're supposed to take away from that.

You know,

Perhaps there's more,

Perhaps there's a deeper conversation there that I'm not bringing to the surface right now,

But that's what came up for me was that example of,

You know,

Do we want to go down that path of killing our brother,

Of,

You know,

Taking them out in order to get our own?

Or do we want to use our creative force,

Our creative juice and create something that we can stand up on and never have to look back at as,

Oh,

I can't believe I did that,

To actually be genuinely appreciative of the work that we've done.

Every hour you spend giving heed to doubts and fears is as powerful against you as your thoughts that are for you.

Worry,

Unbelief,

Doubt sets a current away from you.

So if you're somebody who's watched The Secret and you're thinking about the law of attraction,

Well,

The law of attraction also works the other way,

That if we're,

You know,

Constantly thinking about the stuff that we don't want,

Well,

We're going to repel the actual things that we do want.

And so guard your thoughts,

Command your attention,

Use the power of will.

You have to be a guardian of your thoughts.

And one of the best ways,

And here's my tip for today,

One of the best ways to train yourself into the world of controlling your thinking,

Of having responsibility over your thoughts and really just training yourself is through truth,

Forgiveness,

And love.

And how can we do that?

We can do that through gratitude,

Faith,

And expectation.

Here's what I mean by that.

Through the practice of gratitude,

Through the very practice of being grateful,

And grateful on two fronts,

Grateful for what we have and grateful for what we have coming to us.

That's the true art of being grateful,

Is to be grateful for what is already so and grateful for what we want in our life as if it is already so.

When we practice gratitude at that level and we do it on a regular basis where it's in our thinking all the time,

What gets triggered is our faith.

We actually believe now that this is going to happen.

We start training our thinking into a world of faith where,

Ah,

This is going to happen.

I have practiced gratitude so much I actually start to believe that what I'm grateful for is showing up in my life.

That starts to build faith.

And when we have that build,

We have expectation that it's all going to work out.

That's the game.

That's the game of thinking and controlling our thinking and working with our mindset.

That is very easily done.

We can accomplish that on a daily basis and it only takes an awareness to do that.

You know,

One of the things that I know some of my friends have done is they set up a timer.

They set up a timer on a daily basis to remind them it's time to do this.

That's a practice.

When you get into the practice of gratitude,

Then you get into the practice of having faith and you get into the practice of expecting that the very life that you want to create for yourself is on its way to you.

We don't get in life the things that we want.

We get in life the things that we expect.

And we know,

We truly know in the back of our minds what we're truly expecting.

We might be able to throw on a surface,

Hey,

Oh yeah,

It's all going to be great.

It's going to be wonderful.

And deep down we're thinking it's not.

Well,

That's the stuff that's really going to show up.

We get from life what we expect.

Reviews

Do you have more podcasts that go into depth with learning to have gratitude in my daily life?

Great reminder of the connection between gratitude and abundance. Thank you

Great reminders! I’m trying to stop thinking about what I don’t want and start thinking about what I do want.

I loved this! Love the gratitude practice. Thank you.

Great topic. 👍🏼
Although I don't believe in expectations, they can be dangerous if we expect too much. We are all energy. Believing in expressing our gratitude each and every day. Doing our meditations seeing and manifesting our good, positive thoughts and intentions, which is released into the Universe. And to come back to us. Thank you 🙏🏻😊💜

I really enjoyed this, not sure that I really understand this. I listened twice. Are you saying what you think is what you will get? Sorry not sure but did enjoy it.

I really appreciated the reminder to look at my own attitude and keeping gratitude in my life. Thanks 🌻

Useful reminder to the laws of attraction..thank you

Incredible. Thank you! I am so glad I found your podcast. This is so beneficial to me and everything I am working to manifest. Will be listening to many more!

Beautiful
I will send reminders for gratitude on my phone. Thank you 💐

Wow! That was a message I am most grateful for, have complete faith that it was meant to arrive at this exact moment in my life, and expect that this life I have created is unfolding perfectly. There most definitely is a thinking stuff from which all things are made. Thank you Thomas. You have inspired me to trust my own creativity!

Great information and insight. thank you so much

Spot on - thanks for the refresher.

Gratitude, faith, and expectation really resonated with me. My grown son is coming to live with me for a few months and I keep saying it will be great. But my expectations tell a different story. Thank you for the tools to work through this. Have a great day. 😎

Cynic that I am, my initial reaction was "Oh great, another infomercial!" I was pleasantly surprised to hear a message more about building a life based on spiritual principles first. Place the focus on love and gratitude, and you will attract the people and opportunities which will enrich your life in all kinds of ways. Much to reflect upon here. Thank you!

Enjoyed the perspective 🙏

✨

I love this. It’s time to let go of fear and embrace the positive. Thank you

Excellent!! Clear podcast on being mindful of your thoughts, as they will become incorporated into your future. Very motivating.

Thank 🙏🏼 you
