Tathastu - तथास्तु

Tathastu (तथास्तु) is a phrase from Sanskrit language which means "So be it". There is a spiritual belief that one can literally script his or her life that the way one desires, and the God / Universe will eventually deliver to the same. Referring to Deepak Chopra's Conspiracy of the Universe, "This is the ultimate truth of synchrodestiny—that the sum total of the universe is conspiring to create your personal destiny. We cannot even imagine the complex forces behind every event that occurs in our lives. There's a conspiracy of coincidences that weave the web of karma or destiny and creates an individual's personal life". It is very much like as if God / Universe is always saying Tathastu to your each thought, wish or desire. 

Here are two powerful idea that can help us in achieving best in our own lives:

Focus on Positives

According to The Secret and Ask & It Is Given, every thought vibrates, every thought radiates a signal, and every thought attracts a matching signal back i.e. like attracts like. By just focusing on positive thoughts, one can achieve positive outcomes. 

Take Ownership
According the above mentioned believes, we are ONLY creator of our own destiny. We have all the power to control that as well. It is just a matter of taking ownership or responsibility of the situation, circumstance or thing. According to Stephen Covey's book - The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Be Proactive is an essential quality for being responsibility. By doing so, one should not a victim, blaming others for their own responses to a given situation, but one always has options to choose his or her response to a given situation.

There is popular story that tells "One can lead a horse to water, but one cannot make it drink". Just beware, are we failing to take ownership like a horse, when God / Universe is giving us opportunity!

Louise Hay suggested a technique to program our mind by repeating the positive and ownership affirmations. Here are several such affirmations:
