A Man Is What He Thinks

THINKING

Many people are often baffled by how their lives have turned out and why they have ended up where they are. Few realise they are where they as a result of the thinking patterns that dominate their lives. Believe it or not, you are what you think! The thought patterns that dominate your mind define your life. The wisest man that ever lived says “As a man thinks, so is he” (The Bible,
Proverbs 23:7).

James Allen, in his book, As a Man Thinketh says, “The soul attracts that which it secretly harbours, that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires – and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.” If this is true, and I believe it is, you cannot therefore
change your life without first changing your thinking. Albert Einstein says, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

You may already be successful, that is excellent. However if you want to achieve even greater success and achieve a breakthrough to reach the height of your cherished aspirations, it is time to elevate your level of thinking to that which will deliver the outcome you desire. Conversely, you may be struggling to make a change and unable to enjoy the level of success you want.

Now is the time, which is as good as ever, to make decided steps to get a grip on and take charge of the thinking that has so far failed to deliver expected results. To get to your desired destination, you need to engage different thought patterns that will place you on a different trajectory to take you from A to B.

Some thinking patterns that people often allow to limit their success centre around upbringing, race, colour, academic qualifications, social class and gender. Yet I have met incredibly successful people in each spectrum of society mentioned above. Yes some people may use these social variances against you, but they can only succeed if you permit them to. You permit them to succeed against you when you have allowed your mind to think defeat in the first place. What you experience in your outer world is what has already taken place in your mind – DEFEAT.

All beliefs you hold are engineered by your mind. The very worst of these are self-limiting beliefs. These are beliefs about yourself that cause you to feel somehow limited or deficient in a particular area. If you hold them as true reflection of who you are, what you are capable of and a true estimate of your ability and potential, they become true for you.
