We are the products of our respective thoughts. We are the creators of our intents. We are the directors of our actions. Nobody else controls us.
Everything depends solely and absolutely on how our mind is. We have to understand the law that 'the outer is created through the inner'. The 'outer' manifests itself through the clarity and strength of the inner intent.
The law concerning the Power of Thought is put simply as 'As we think, so it becomes' , 'As our intent is, so is the manifestation'. The outer manifestation depends upon the inner intent.
Thoughts need power to reach their targets. In a restless state of mind, thoughts are produced with least power. Therefore, they don't reach their particular targets. However, in the presence of a restful and tranquil state of mind, thoughts acquire great power and all intents get dramatically actualized.
