Your Thinking Affects Your Finances, and Your Life
Your Thinking Affects Your Finances, and Your Life
Not only are proactively positive thoughts important to acquiring your success, but your success cannot exist without them. Consider Webster's definition of success: a desired or favorable outcome'. All outcomes are determined by actions, actions require decisions to act, and decisions are merely decisive thoughts. Therefore, it is easy to conclude that the thoughts that dominate your mind will dictate the actions you take, and the results you generate.
Your mind never stops forming tomorrow's reality. As estimated, a human being has over 60,000 different thoughts a day. Many of those thoughts are contemplations, hopes, wants, and fears of tomorrow. No matter the type, every future based thought is another piece of the reality that you accept to be inevitable. Your destinations cannot change until your thoughts change. Don't make the mistake of underestimating the importance of what you are thinking today; it will be your reality of tomorrow.
Constantly bombard your mind with thoughts of what you want, and project them into the future. This should feel good to you, so don't overwhelm yourself by attempting to control your every thought. If you are thinking of things you want in the future, you are right on track. If you want a better future, you have to more effectively direct your thoughts today.
Successful people, expend most of their thoughts focusing on the futureproactive thoughts. Here is a quote of Napoleon Bonaparte "take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in". Ralph Waldo Emerson was quoted "Thought is the blossom, language the bud; action the fruit behind it". Budda said "all that we are is the result of what we have thought". It is hard to find a historical icon that did not strongly advise others to assume proper thought when aspiring to higher achievements.
There are drastic differences between the way highly successful people, extremely unsuccessful people think, and their outcomes. Imagine if an extremely unsuccessful person began to avoid the earn-to-spend mentality, clearly defined their desired success, pursued their goals rapaciously, and refused to failor ifa successful millionaire no longer defined his success, relied on excuses for failures, failed to take required actions, pursued only easy/quick successes, and gave up when things became too hard. Both of their lives would immediately begin to move in completely different directions. Successes, and failures, are simply the outcomes of habits that are motivated, and acted upon by contrasting paradigms of thought. Successful and unsuccessful people first think, act, and then attain completely different results in their lives and their finances.
Like it or not, proactive thoughts create your destination. A proactive thought is a contemplative thought of the potential future. No matter how impossible or distant your goal might seem in the beginning, it will seem increasingly more attainable as you think about it more. Your mind is a magnificent tuning fork' that leads you to the materialization of what you proactively think about most. Obviously, if your thoughts are inundated with fear of what might occur, your mind will assume that is the outcome that you desire. If you think about something often enough, you will eventually fail to see any other possible endpoint. You will ultimately find yourself forcibly drawn towards the impending outcome that your mind considers most often. It is safe to surmise; changing how you think today will determine who you are, and what financial success you attain tomorrow.
There are four quadrants of thought:
1) desirable/future quadrantthese are positively charged--proactive thoughts. They are thoughts of what you want in the future.
2) undesirable/future quadrantthese are negatively charged--proactive thoughts. They are thoughts of what you do not want, or want to avoid in the future.
3) desirable/past quadrantthese are positively charged--reactive thoughts. They are thoughts of what you liked, or enjoyed in the past.
4) undesirable/past quadrantthese are negatively charged--reactive thoughts. They are thoughts of what you did not like in the past.
Each quadrant has productive uses; however, thoughts that fall into the desirable/future' quadrant should dominate your mind most of the time. Past quadrants, and negative quadrants are essential to your learning and growth. Past and negative quadrants contain the thoughts in which you learn what you should not do again, how become more effective, and re-writing goals. Negatively charged thoughts will attract negative emotions, and expectations. Reactive thoughts dwell on the past, and are very unlikely to breed thoughts that can help you in the future. Proactively positive thoughts bring positive emotions, confidence, energy, and creative ideas for accomplishing your financial goals.
Those who commonly expend thought in the desirable/future quadrant succeed more and overcome adversity more effectively. To illustrate my point, let's talk about NFL football, MLB baseball, and light bulbs. Though these subjects have little in common, the people associated to them do. NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marinoconsidered one of the best quarterbacks to ever play footballSet 31 passing records in his career; many of those records still stand today. He is also 8th on the all-time most interceptions thrown list. It is also interesting to note that less than one in every one thousand Major League baseball players in history had finished a season above a .400 season batting average. A player with a .400 batting average would have failed 60% of their at-bats at the plate, yet he would be a considered legend of the game. Furthermore, It is said that Thomas Edison failed to invent the incandescent light bulb over 10,000 times. When asked how he persevered through so much failure, he replied "I have never failed; I simply found 10,000 ways not to invent the light bulb". Obviously, they all learned from their past challenges, but they chose to live in the desirable/ future' quadrant.
Constantly increase the amount of time you spend in a proactive and positive state of mind. Let these thoughts consume your mind, and failure will be a thing of the past. Historic icons of the past believed strongly in the importance of proper thinking in acquiring success, and perseverance. What others view as a failure' is just a successful person's detailed instruction on what not to do next time. Stop dwelling on the past, and the things you don't want. Learn from your mistakes, and then move on. I am telling you to think positively, and to think in future-tense as much as you can. In closing, I want to leave you with a quote of quote of Mahatma Gandhi "A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks, he becomes"
