Man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own fruitage of opportunity and circumstance. Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit. Take the training of your thoughts, as seriously as you do the training of your body, or the training you would go through for your dream job. The training you do affects everything about how you life and about how you see and experience the world. Create “thought-time” in your life. -Open time to think -Open time to learn -Undistracted silence and space -Daily input and daily output -Freedom to explore ideas without judgment THINK YOUR WAY TO GREATNESS There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there is no comforter to compare with goodwill for dispersing the shadows of grief and sorrow. As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking. * Decide what your greatness looks like * Reign in your thoughts with serious training * Surround yourself with people who want to think greatness into their lives as well * Know that you have something to contribute * Ignore hesitation and focus on action * Have strong thoughts by reviewing them often * Believe that life has greatness awaiting
