It is impossible to go through life without thinking. We are always thinking. When you think,
your thoughts magnetize you, attracting people and circumstances that harmonize with those
thoughts. You are where you are today based on thoughts you have allowed into your head.
This has been common knowledge for centuries. Throughout the years, philosophers, schol-
ars, wise men and women, and teachers have disagreed on various subjects, however they all
agreed on the following:
“We become what we think about.”
The great Roman general
Marcus
said,
“Aman’s life is what his thoughts make of it.”
Confucius
, the great Chinese philosopher said,
“With meditation humans can plant thoughts
that create life.”
Earl Nightingale said,
“Think and you will become.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
said this,
“Aman is what he thinks about all day long.”
William James
said,
“ The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter
their lives by altering the attitudes of their minds.”
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
put it this way: “
One of the greatest laws in the universe is: If
you think in negative terms you will get negative results, if you think in positive ways you
will achieve positive results.”
George Bernard Shaw
said, “
People are always blaming their
circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in
this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t
fnd them, make them.”
Even in the Bible you’ll read (Mark 9:23), “All things are possible to him
that believe it.” Every deed, every invention began with an idea, a thought. Think and you become.
This principle is one of the laws of nature. Just as all other laws of nature, it is infexible and works
every time. Jump from a tall building and gravity will ensure you fall in only one direction. Just as
a powerful magnet, your thoughts attract the people and circumstances that harmonize with those
thoughts. We know that both positive and negative thoughts cannot occupy the mind at the same
time. One or the other will dominate your thought pattern. And when looking for employment, we
want to attract the positives. Therefore, to ensure you are attracting positive people, circumstances,
and conditions, complete the following exercises (Exercises #3 and #4)
