You most likely heard the remark, “we are what we eat”. It can also be said, “we become what we think about most of the time”. What dominates our thoughts?
If we know what we want, we will naturally think of ways and means of accomplishing it.
If we can see ourselves successful, we will be drawn in that direction. If we see ourselves as a failure, we will be drawn in that direction

Our appearance is often a reflection of our thoughts. How do we see ourselves? If we want to know how others see us, we need only to look into the mirror. Our face reflects how we feel. Can we change how we feel? Of course we can. Smile and others will return the smile. Frown and others will frown. We can take charge. We have the power to control our thoughts and those around us. We can also guard against the negativity of others and not let them control or influence us in a negative way. We can refuse to let outside influence control how we think or wish to think. It takes some effort but just as a muscle becomes strong with exercise, we must be diligent in exercising a positive outlook.

When one knows where it is they wish to go or what they wish to become, they should begin to act, walk, talk, think and conduct themselves in all their affairs as would that person. By becoming successful first in our mind, the positive forces will lead us in the direction we wish to go.
