YOUR MIND IS AN amazing mechanism. When your mind works one way, it can carry you forward to outstanding success. But the same mind operating in a different manner can produce a total failure. The body is what the body is fed. By the same token, the mind is what the mind is fed. MindContinue reading “MANAGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT: GO FIRST CLASS”

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE
IT’S OBVIOUS. MUCH HUMAN behavior is puzzling. Others see in us what we see in ourselves. We receive the kind of treatment we think we deserve. To be important, we must think we are important, really think so; then others will think so too. Here again is the logic:How you think determines how you act.HowContinue reading “YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE”
HOW TO THINK AND DREAM CREATIVELY
FIRST, LET’S CLEAR UP a common fallacy about the meaning of creative thinking. For some illogical reason, science, engineering, art, and writing got tabbed as about the only truly creative pursuits. But creative thinking is not reserved for certain occupations, nor is it restricted to superintelligent people. Creative thinking is simply finding new, improved waysContinue reading “HOW TO THINK AND DREAM CREATIVELY”
HOW TO THINK BIG
Where success is concerned, people are not measured in inches or pounds or college degrees, or family background; they are measured by the size of their thinking. How big we think determines the size of our accomplishments. Now let’s see how we can enlarge our thinking. Probably the greatest human weakness is self-deprecation—that is, sellingContinue reading “HOW TO THINK BIG”
BUILD CONFIDENCE AND DESTROY FEAR
Yes, fear is real. And we must recognize it exists before we can conquer it. Most fear today is psychological. Worry, tension, embarrassment, panic all stem from mismanaged, negative imagination. But simply knowing the breeding ground of fear doesn’t cure fear. The old “it’s-only-in-your-mind” treatment presumes fear doesn’t really exist. But it does. Fear isContinue reading “BUILD CONFIDENCE AND DESTROY FEAR”
CURE YOURSELF OF EXCUSITIS, THE FAILURE DISEASE
Go deep into your study of people, and you’ll discover unsuccessful people suffer a mind-deadening thought disease. We call this disease excusitis. Persons with mediocre accomplishments are quick to explain why they haven’t, why they don’t, why they can’t, and why they aren’t. Once the victim of this failure disease has selected a “good” excuse,Continue reading “CURE YOURSELF OF EXCUSITIS, THE FAILURE DISEASE”
Believe You Can Succeed and You Will
Every human being wants success. Everybody wants the best this life can deliver. Nobody enjoys crawling, living in mediocrity. No one likes feeling second-class and feeling forced to go that way. Believe, really believe, you can move a mountain, and you can. Belief works this way. Belief, the “I’m-positive-I-can” attitude, generates the power, skill, andContinue reading “Believe You Can Succeed and You Will”
CONCLUSION
I think it’s important to remind ourselves that there is only one thing that would keep you or me from taking what we have studied in these pages and making some major, positive change in our lives. Ourselves. I am the only one who can get in my way and derail progress and change. IContinue reading “CONCLUSION”
DAY NINETY | It Takes a Lifetime
I don’t know how you feel about it, but it seems to me that growth ought to take place far more rapidly and obviously than what it sometimes does. We live in a society that desires—and frequently demands—immediacy. The fact is, however, that personal growth tends to take a long time. It comes a littleContinue reading “DAY NINETY | It Takes a Lifetime”
DAY EIGHTY-NINE | Parameters
What is the boundary line for your dream? It doesn’t cost any more to dream big than it does to dream small. However, the reality is that most people dream small rather than dreaming big. Somehow, we often believe that a small dream won’t seem so impossible, won’t invite so much ridicule, and won’t bringContinue reading “DAY EIGHTY-NINE | Parameters”
