I have been reading “How Successful People Think” by John C. Maxwell, and I sent you some info about the book… Today, I will add some additional gems from this great book…
He suggests to put yourself in the right place to think…
- Find a Place to Think your thoughts
Where is the best place to think? For some its in the shower, others in a park, and for some in bed at night When he found a place to think his thoughts, the thoughts came to him
- Find a Place to Shape your thoughts
Rarely do ideas come out fully formed and complete- They must shaped for substance and held to the test of clarity and questioning
- Find a Place to Stretch your thoughts
Share your thoughts with others The Right Thought + the Right People Is the Right Environment for the Right Time For the Right Reason = the Right Result
- Find a Place to Land your thoughts
C.D. Jackson; “Great ideas need landing gears as well as wings” For your thoughts to make an impact, you need to land them with others to be implemented Yourself, Key Players, and those most effected
- Find a Place to Fly your thoughts
Henry-Louis Bergson; “Think like a man of action and act like a man of thought” Once you have created, shaped, stretched, and landed your thoughts, flying them can be fun and easy
Good thinking requires different skills to be developed… Big picture thinking (Wisdom)…
Focused thinking (Potential)….
Creative thinking (Joy)….
Realistic thinking (Importance)…
And several others...
The creative juices come from thinking, imagination, and inspiration...
I find books like this help me to build on my inherent skills and abilities
Hope you enjoyed this information and I look forward to sharing in the future
Stay healthy and love is the answer!
