The only thing standing between you and the results you want in your life is your ability to change your thoughts about yourself.

It’s not about positive thinking. It’s about deliberate thinking.

Take five minutes today to write down what’s on your mind – like a stream of consciousness ‘thought download.’  When you’ve finished, circle the facts only. Facts are things everyone in the world would agree are true.

What’s left uncircled is the story you’re telling yourself.

Are your thoughts useful? Are they helping you get the results you want in your life? Do you know those thoughts are optional?

The way you choose to think about your life determines your life.
