I have been reading or listening to motivational material since high school. From Norman Vincent Peale to Jim Rohn, they all are based on the same theme. You are what you think about. You become what you feel you should be. You are the sum of your thoughts, external factors are irrelevant and so on.
Good thoughts like good seeds will produce good crops and bad thoughts will produce bad crops. You external reality must align with your internal conception or you will be harmonically demented and live less fulfilled then you should.
Don’t miss the magic ingredient that makes all of the above true.
ACTION
You must take action whilst thinking happy thoughts or you will become no more than a happy underachiever.
That is why I have little faith in “The Secret” or other systems of that ilk that are resonance receptors for the goodness of the universe.
A saying I once heard goes something like this, “Man waits a long time sitting in a chair waiting for a BBQ’d chicken to fly into his mouth”.
ACTION
Now that’s the ticket.
