"The only limitation in your life is the limitation of your own thinking."
-- James A. Ray
The quality of our life is decided by the quality of our thinking. The one factor which distinguishes the human beings form others is our faculty of thinking. We are not merely human beings. We are also thinking beings. Animals also think. But they cannot think in a structured way. They cannot use thinking as a `technology'
We can think big or we can think small. We can think about opportunities, or we can think about threats. We can think about strengths or about weaknesses. We can think about what we don't have or about what already have. We can think the conventional way or we can think laterally.
The important point about thinking is that we are always thinking. Thinking takes place independent of our will. We cannot reach a situation where we say that we are not thinking. Thinking is a continuous process. The only option we have to direct and focus our thinking and decide the quality of our thinking.
Many of us are not even aware of what we are thinking about. Being aware of the content of our thinking is very important since, want we think will come true. The difference between successful and not so successful people is the way they used their ability to think.
Over this weekend, can you do an audit on the quality of your thinking taking the above parameters and guidelines?
