Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " You Are What You Think " What is the one thing that determines, more than anything else, the quality of your life? Some people say, " You are what you eat, " but I say, " You are what you think. " Now, this is not really " new " news. This is one of the great universal truths, handed down over the centuries by poets and philosophers and by almost every great religious leader the world has ever known. We move toward and become like that which we think about, and our present thoughts, more than anything else, determine our future. So it is important to learn to control your thoughts because if you can do that, you'll be taking control of your life as well. And how do you control your thoughts? Well, you learn to monitor yourself by listening to the stream of inner messages that precede your emotions. Then, you ask yourself if some of these thoughts are other people's ideas that may not really be true. You look for distortions, exaggerations, and other misrepresentations, and you deliberately correct them - on the spot - to a more realistic viewpoint. Finally, you choose to put the best possible slant on every situation, every event, and every occurrence. I believe that because your present thoughts determine your future, when you consistently expect the best, you tend to get it!
