Like I say, if you are serious about breaking-through in your life, then you need to start analyzing the thoughts that are going on in your mind. I'm talking every single tingle bingle thought, and even your dreams too! You need to do an inventory of your thoughts and watch what you are saying to yourself. These thoughts make up your life. These thoughts are the building blocks to your identity, your success, or lack thereof.
Your life is RULED by your thoughts!
Some people choose not to think at all... They use automatic thinking that is disparaging and negative. Some people tear themselves down repeatedly with their own thoughts, then wonder why they fall short in life. I'm here to tell you, your life is a product of your thoughts. Good thoughts? Good Life. Bad thoughts? Bad Life. It's that simple.
If you want to rule your life and excel to greatness, then you must commit to maintaining a level of consciousness about what is going on. Staying awake. Staying aware.
It makes sense that we should examine our thoughts and start to challenge thoughts that are untrue and keeping us bound-up in mediocrity or failure.
