Some of the greatest men and women of all time, the greatest thinkers, the greatest mystics, the greatest philosophers, the greatest writers, the greatest poets, have all stood in awe, like standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, at the great concept that: “Your life is what your thoughts make of it.”
-
Emerson said: “You become what you think about most of the time.”
Earl Nightingale said: “You become what you think about all day long.”
One of the world’s most famous anthropologists was Margaret Mead. She spent her life studying different cultures. Dr. Mead called this concept of ‘what you think about, you bring about’ the greatest breakthrough in the field of human potential in the entire history of mankind. 
Much of our outer world is controlled by, or is merely a reflection of, our inner thought world. In computer language, they have an expression, GIGO, which means Garbage In, Garbage Out. It also can stand for Good In, Good Out. As far as we know, this is how animals are programmed. They have little chance to change their instincts and responses. Their learning, growth and development is controlled to a large extent by their environment.
The good news is that we, as humans, have far greater opportunity. What that means for us is that everything we have learned, we can choose to un-learn.
That means you can de-program everything that has been programmed into you and overwrite it with new programming of your choosing. This is a key concept in managing yourself, in helping others towards peak-performance work environment, in raising happy, healthy self-confident children. So, the good news is that if you don’t like the way your ‘thinking machine’ thinks … you CAN change it!
Some have even said, the way you talk to yourself and use your “Magic Thinking Machine” is really one of the key controllers of your life. Many believe your brain is the Number One, master program of your subconscious mind!
Now, you know that a computer operating system is the software infrastructure that is responsible for the management and coordination of your computer’s activities. Well, in the same fashion, the way you run your human operating system, your Magic Thinking Machine, will control everything that you produce.
Everything is determined, modified, or effected in some way by your inside operating system. Human thought and the way we choose to use it, is a powerful God given gift.
Here’s an example of how this powerful process can change lives:
A boy was sent to his room and told by his father, “You hurt your mother’s feelings. Go to your room and think about that.” The boy did think about it. He thought, “Wow, I must be pretty powerful if I can hurt my parent’s feelings.” Then he thought, “Uh-oh! If I can hurt my mother’s feelings, then that must mean others can hurt my feelings.”
It was many years later before he discovered the real truth. He came across a famous quote from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt: “Nobody can make me feel bad without my permission.”
Suddenly, he understood that our lives, our happiness, our performance and our day-to-day experiences are controlled, not nearly so much by what happens to us, as by how we think about and talk to ourselves about what had happened to us.
This realization that he is in charge of his thoughts literally changed his life. He made a decision to become an expert at the way he ran his Magic Thinking Machine. He went from a life of uncertainty to one of great success.
What do YOU think about most of the time? Success? Financial freedom? Serving others? How to make your world a better place? Abundance? Opportunity?
We invite you to join the top “3% club.” Consider making a decision to use the magic power of your thinking machine to focus on the positive aspects of your business. That will give you a marvelous advantage as you fashion and serve your world … just like the most successful top 3% of the people in the world.
