A few years ago I really enjoyed reading John C. Maxwell’s book, Thinking for a Change. I had already been practising some of the concepts he developed in the book but he added superb insight to my understanding of the essence of good thinking. Three of his ideas stood out:
1. Good Thinking Creates the Foundation for Good Results:
What do you want to achieve in life? The key to that will be in developing a reservoir of good thoughts that are well implemented. Your progress in life is directly proportional to the quality of your thoughts.
2. Good Thinking Increases Your Potential:
You need to understand your own full potential in life. Potential is simply the capacity that a person has for effectiveness in life. We can all attain our potential as we begin to elevate our thinking. Good thinking increases the level of results one can expect in life.
3. Good Thinking Produces More Good Thinking If You Make It a Habit:
Nothing dominates life more than a habit. As you practice good thinking, you develop a foundation from which you can continue to harvest even better thinking. We have to continually raise our level of thinking, it takes a habit of good thinking to do that.
Do not let your present situation or challenges take away your power of positive thinking. Whatever hardship you are facing today can be turn around by practising positive thinking.
Buckminster Fuller once said that
"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." No one can see your future, you have to live up to standard and you shall succeed no matter what anyone says. Stay positive. You shall rise again. Cheers.
