The Invisible Secret of Thoughts

Have you ever felt completely drained even when you haven’t done much? I have. I remember sitting at my desk one day, wondering why I was so tired when all I had done was think. That’s when I realised something: it’s not always the body that gets exhausted — sometimes, it’s the mind.

I also noticed other strange moments. Like walking into a room that suddenly felt heavy, even when nobody was speaking. Or thinking of a friend, and then receiving their call just a minute later. These small incidents made me curious. Were they just coincidences? Or was there something more happening?

That’s when I understood: *our thoughts are not locked inside us. They travel, they influence, and they shape the world around us.*

*From My Experience to a Realisation*

Our minds are always at work. They create emotions, build ideas, and decide the way we act. But here’s the truth we often miss: thoughts carry energy.

Think about this:

* When you keep worrying before a test — “What if I fail? What if I forget everything?” — don’t you feel weak and nervous, even before opening the paper?
* Or when you’re jealous of a friend’s marks — doesn’t it make you lose focus on your own studies?
* Or when you replay a fight with a classmate again and again in your head — doesn’t it make you feel angry all over again?

This is what I call unhealthy thinking. It doesn’t help us. It only makes us restless and drains our strength.

On the other hand, positive thoughts — like “I’ve prepared, I can do this”, or “I’m happy for my friend, I’ll try harder next time” — change everything. They don’t just stay inside us. They spread. They make our words softer, our actions calmer, and even the spaces we walk into lighter.

I realised that if polluted air can harm us, then polluted thoughts can do the same. But pure thoughts? They can heal.

*Why It Matters to Us as Students*

As students, we are constantly under pressure — exams, expectations, comparisons, and competition. If our thoughts are filled with fear and doubt, everything feels heavier.

Imagine this:

* A classroom where everyone is tensed before a test — silence feels heavy, almost scary.
* Now imagine the same classroom where friends are smiling, saying “You’ll do great, don’t worry”. Suddenly, the mood becomes lighter.

That’s how powerful our thoughts are. They don’t just affect us, they affect everyone around us.

Here’s what I’ve learnt, and what I want to share with you:

* Don’t just speak kindly — think kindly first.
* Don’t just prepare for exams — prepare your mind with confident thoughts.
* Don’t just wish for peace outside — create peace inside.

In the end, *we are the creators of our destiny, and it all begins with a single thought.*

So, the next time you feel drained or restless, pause and ask yourself: What kind of thoughts am I creating? Because the world you experience tomorrow depends on the thoughts you choose today.
