The ancestor of every action is a thought. – Ralph Waldo Emerson


The ancestor of every action is a thought. - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

This great Emerson quote aligns the idea that whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality. Our subconscious mind is always at work. Most people think it’s the conscious mind that creates our destiny. It only takes what we have already established and negotiated in the subconscious mind and acts on it. This makes us realize the key to getting what we want in life is controlling our thoughts. By controlling our thoughts within our conscious mind, we can program the subconscious mind to dictate what our conscious mind acts upon. There is a delightful book about Self Talk that’s worth reading. Learn to control your self-talk because it is part of our subconscious mind’s programming.

The ancestor of every action is a thought.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
