Our Thoughts Lead to Our Actions
James Allen in his book, “A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.” P. 28

NOTE: Today, carry a notebook with you and once every hour write down the dominant thought that you were thinking about over the past hour. At the end of the day take a tally and see what thoughts dominated your day. Did your dominant thoughts direct your conversations? Did your dominant thoughts direct your actions? If your conversations and your actions are not what you wanted or not bringing you the results you want, both personally and professionally, we have a great lesson here, we can choose to think about something else. We can choose to think about things that are uplifting, inspiring, and elevate us and others.
