As A Man Thinketh

"The Aphorism, 'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he' not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts." ~James Allen

It has been said many times that we are what we think. Why? How and what we think shapes our attitudes about life. Our thoughts alter our behavior.

When you have negative thoughts, continually, the result is cynicism. When you are intimidated by fear of failure, you tend to avoid new opportunities. When you are asked for your opinion, you become vague.

If you are confident then every new challenge becomes an opportunity to learn and grow. Every mistake is a learning experience and you know that you won't make the same mistake twice.

Success lies on the other side of failure. ~Thomas J. Watson Jr.

Remember this proverb: Wisdom is what you get from experience. Experience is what you get from a lack of wisdom. 

Don't fear making mistakes-- learn from them and move on.

You are in control of your thoughts. You have the power within you to accomplish almost anything you desire. You must first believe in yourself.
