Welcome. This is the 1-hour guide to successful thinking.

 

Everything you’re about to hear in this program revolves around a simple concept:

 

We choose what we think about---what we think about determines our actions—and our actions determine our results.

 

If we’re unhappy with our results, we need to change the thoughts and actions that are creating them. This is the premise of successful thinking and it’s been proven accurate, time and time again. 

 

Before we start, I’ve got just a few suggestions: 

 

1. Don’t worry about answering the questions in your workbook until the second or third time you listen to the program. That will give you a little bit more time to think about everything.

 

 2. If you hear specific things that you find really useful, those are the things you should focus on. Don’t bother with any of the stuff that you don’t like or don’t agree with. The only information that matters is the information that you can use. 

 

3. Understand that I’ve seen FIRST HAND the results of applying these concepts, and, it’s only because of that first hand experience that I know they work.

 

 Now, lets begin, starting with how important it is for us to THINK correctly:

 

The importance of thinking correctly should be common sense. And by thinking correctly, what I mean is: Thinking in a way that is productive instead of counter-productive.

 

But for many, the topic just gets blown off as another “lets all think positive” speech.

 

Now, I can only guess the doubters of positive thinking must have (at least in their own mind) a good reason why they think it’s not useful. …who knows, maybe they convinced themselves they were going to win the lottery…they “thought positive” about it for three months, and then when they didn’t win, they decided that whole “positive thinking” thing just doesn’t work.

 

Well, that’s a perfect example of an imperfect conclusion. That’s like me deciding lifting weights doesn’t “work” because even after a solid year of working out I never got any smarter. Guess what? Lifting weights isn’t supposed to make me any smarter; it’s supposed to make me stronger!

 

And likewise, improving the quality of your thoughts isn’t supposed to increase your ability to control things that nobody on the planet has the ability to control.

 

Instead, the HUGE effect of improving your mind is going to be seen in the results you get from those things you DO have control or influence over. And those things, believe it or not, make up the MAJORITY of your life.

 

We all know, or should know anyway, that if we want a different result, it often requires a different approach. And let’s be clear, when we say we want a “different” result, what we really mean is we want a “better result.” So in turn, it’s likely what we need is a better approach. An approach that either improves on what we’re already doing, or replaces it all together...
