Thoughts and thinking

Thoughts are things; they have tremendous power. Thoughts of doubt and fear are pathways to failure. When you conquer negative attitudes of doubt and fear you conquer failure. Thoughts crystallize into habit and habit solidifies into circumstances.

Best Quotes about Thoughts and thinking

You become what you think about.

Nightingale, Earl

Think success, don't think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, I'll win, not I'll probably lose. When you compete with someone else, think, I'm equal to the best, not I'm out-classed. When opportunity appears, think I can do it, never I can't. Let the master thought I-will-succeed dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure.

These questions and other strange phenomena engaged my thought throughout my life.

Da Vinci, Leonardo

How you look at a situation is very important, for how you think about a problem may defeat you before you ever do anything about it.

Remember, your attitude toward a situation can help you to change it -- you create the very atmosphere for defeat or victory.
