“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
– Leo Tolstoy
Everything begins with a belief. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Life consists of what a man is thinking about all day.”
- Along those lines, what we think determines who we are.
- And who we are determines what we do.
Our thoughts determine our destiny, and our destiny determines our legacy.
“You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”
British philosopher James Allen, author of “As a Man Thinketh”
- People who go to the top think differently than others.
- Small thinking is self-limiting. It holds you back from achieving great things.
- On the other hand, nothing expands possibilities like unleashed thinking.
The good news: We can change the way we think.
- The #1 challenge to making personal changes is your feelings.
- And you can control your feelings by controlling your thoughts.
- You can control your thoughts, and your feelings come from your thoughts.
Unfortunately, because few people control their thinking, they fail to control their lives.

- Our beliefs inform our expectations, which impact our attitude.
- Attitude to behavior, behavior to performance, and changing your performance changes your life.
