We become what we think about
We become what we think about
We become what we think about
Now let me say that again
We become what we think about
Throughout all history
The great wise men and teachers
Philosophers
And prophets
Have disagreed with one another
On many different things
It is only on this one point
That they are incomplete
And unanimous agreement
Listen to what Marcus Aurelius
The great Roman emperor said
He said
"A man's life is what his thoughts make of it"
A man's life is what his thoughts make of it
Disraeli said this
"Everything comes if a man will only wait
I have brought myself
By long meditation
To the conviction
That a human being with a settled purpose
Must accomplish it
And that nothing can resist
A will that will stake
Even existence for its fulfillment"
We become what we think about
We become what we think about
We become what we think about
Now let me say that again
We become what we think about
Ralph Waldo Emerson said this
"A man is what he thinks about all day long"
William James said
"The greatest discovery of my generation
Is that human beings can alter their lives
By altering their attitudes of mind"
And he also said
"We need only in cold blood
Act as if the thing in question were real
And it will become infallibly real
By growing into such a connection with our life
That it will become real
It will become so knit
With habit and emotion
That our interests in it
Will be those which characterize belief"
He also said this
"If you only care enough for a result
You will almost certainly attain it
If you wish to be rich
You will be rich
If you wish to be learned
You will be learned
If you wish to be good
You will be good
Only you must then really wish these things
And wish them exclusively
And not wish at the same time
A hundred other incompatible things
Just as strongly"
We become what we think about
We become what we think about
We become what we think about
Now let me say that again
We become what we think about
In the Bible
You read in Mark 9:23
If thou canst believe
All things are possible
To him that believeth
Dr. Norman Vincent Peel said this
"This is one of the greatest laws
In the universe
Fervently do I wish
I had discovered it
As a very young man
It dawned upon me
Much later in life
And I found it to be one of the greatest
If not my greatest discovery
Outside of my relationship to God
And the great law briefly
And simply stated
Is that if you think in negative terms
You'll get negative results
If you think in positive terms
You will achieve positive results
That is the simple fact
Which is at the basis
Of an astonishing law
Of prosperity and success
In three words
Believe and succeed
Believe and succeed
Believe and succeed
Believe and succeed
Believe and succeed
Believe and succeed
Believe and succeed
