I really liked reading and sharing parts of “How Successful People Think”, by John C. Maxwell… Some final thoughts…
In the introduction to the book, the author states “Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how will always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss”…
Some very bad people in history are noted as stating “what luck it is for rulers that men do not think”…
I take this to mean those who learn the process of how good thinking can rule themselves…
And shaping our thoughts helps determine if an idea has potential…
Humor: The thoughts that don’t work can provide comic relief! (I like this one)…
Excitement: Play out ideas mentally (“futuring it”) …
Honesty: Turning an idea over in your head can help you to discover your true motives…
Passion: Shaping your thought, you find out what you believe and what really counts…
He calls the last chapter in the book “one final thought” …
He suggests we keep in mind… 1. Everything begins with a thought “Life consists of what man is thinking about all day” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
2. What we think determines who we are. Who we are determines what we do “The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts” -John Locke
3. Our Thoughts determine our destiny. Our Destiny determines our legacy “You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you” -James Allen
4. People who go to the top think differently than others “Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; Nothing expands possibilities like unleashed thinking” -William Arthur Ward
5. We can change the way we think “Whatever things are true…noble…just…pure…lovely…are of good report. If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; think on these things” -Paul The Apostle
It is an interesting read and has great suggestions to help get our minds working on our problems, distractions, anything that keeps us from accomplishing our dreams, goals and aspirations…
Keep in mind, Mindset is just as important as skills when traveling the road to be a successful entrepreneur…
In my journey to learn and function as Digital Marketer, I have found many great books to help get me in...
The right frame of mind…
The right mood…
The right emotional state…
To step outside my usual thinking and evaluate what I am trying to do…
To be better…stronger…more successful…
Focused and determined!
Hope you received value from this info and remember I value you…
