We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Albert Einstein


Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Marcus Aurelius


Life consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever flowing through one’s head.

Mark Twain


Look out for your thoughts, for they will become your words.
Look out for your words, for they will become your actions.
Look out for your actions, for they will become your habits.
Look out for your habits, for they will become your character.
Look out for your character, for they will become your fate.


Sit alone in a room and let your thoughts go wherever they will. Do this for one minute. . . . Work up to ten minutes a day of this mindless mental wandering. Then start paying attention to your thoughts to see if a word or goal materializes. If it doesn’t, extend the exercise to eleven minutes, then twelve, then thirteen . . . until you find the length of time you need to ensure that something interesting will come to mind. The Gaelic phrase for this state of mind is “quietness without loneliness”. 


What is life but what a man is thinking of all day?

Ralph Waldo Emerson


How we feel is, in large part, determined by how we think we feel.

David J Schwartz – The Magic of Thinking Big


Don’t think. You already know what you have to do, and you know how to do it. What’s stopping you?

Tim Grover


In 2005, the National Science Foundation published an article showing that the average person has between 12,000 and 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are exactly the same repetitive thoughts as the day before.


If you read what everyone else reads, you’ll think like everyone else thinks.

Ryan Holiday


Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.
