You Become What You Think

Solomon said: "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." So we become what we think about. Each of us becomes exactly what we program our minds to be. A prosperous person programs prosperous thinking into his or her mind and a miserable human being instructs his or her mind to "make me unhappy, mediocre, boring, and average." Whatever you plant in your mind it will feed it— your mind is like soil in a garden.

Furthermore, the mind is what the mind is fed. Our mind food determines our habits, attitudes, and our personalities. Our thinking determines our actions, and it is our actions, feelings, and mood that determine the actions, feelings, and mood of others. Moreover, remember that attitudes are nothing more than habits of thought and they can be acquired. We have the ability to form better habits and it requires a great deal of effort to unlearn our old habits.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we'll embrace for that day. Also, remind yourself every day that you already have an unlimited force within you to create your world ( physically, mentally, and emotionally) exactly how you want it, what is required is the programming of the supreme computer— your mind. You are the programmer and with the right programming techniques you can instruct it to select whatever you really want.

Make a resolution today to discover why you think the way you do why you act in the way you act and why you will tend to move in a way consistent with what you are familiar with even if it is leading you away from your dreams. Once you know that you can change direction you can reverse the trend and ensure that you achieve all you were created for.

Reach Your Goals

If their goals are really important things they want to do, have, achieve or become, why is it that when they decide what they want (in every area of their lives) they don't get it?  Everyone can come up with a list of reasons why they didn't achieve what they wanted, but we have to learn to think of solutions to our problems, not finding someone or something to blame. This year, stop the cycle of resolving to make change, but then not following through. In this post, I'll give you some tips to help you avoid making the mistakes that prevent many people from achieving their goals (and keep their resolutions) in every area of life. 1. Your Goals MUST Be Yours Decide what you want to accomplish (in every area of life). Don't be concerned about what other...

Goal-Attainment Principle — Pay the Price

The price you have to pay for your success has to be paid in full and has to be paid in advance, so it is important to identify and pay the price. The problem is many people do not take time to identify the price they have to pay to achieve the goals they set for themselves. As a result they end up not getting what they want.  To solve this problem, first ensure that all your goals are written down on paper. By doing this it makes it easier for you to crystallize your thinking on paper. Then, take one goal at a time and identify the price you have to pay to get it. I’ve found that different goals have different prices we have to pay but generally we have to make sacrifices whether it is in the form of pleasure time, or learning new skills.  Sometimes the price we have to pay to reach our goals is to change— our thoughts, the negative voices in our minds, bad habits, and negative attitudes. Most people are unwilling to pay the immediate price of change; therefore, they...
