Your Thoughts Are A Thermostat

ByMatthew

Nurture your mind with great thoughts for you will never go any higher than you think.” – Benjamin Disraeli

I often listen to developmental audio programs in the car and my current selection is (a re-listening of) Brian Tracy’s The Psychology of Achievement. One of the key take-ways is that our self-concept matters a great deal. In particular, what we think we’re capable of and what we believe we deserve is so, so important.

The truth is we will never out-perform our self-concept.

Whatever limits you think you have, they’re real, for you and your life.

Whatever you think is you can do – and deserve – (and are willing to work for) is possible.

Is there anything you might want, that for some reason you’re not starting – but when you think about it, you’re a little confused/unsure/uneasy about not going for it? That just might be your self-concept keeping you safe (and your life small… ).

Explore your (faint) yearnings, take some small steps and see that nothing really bad happens to “you.”

Remember, even if you turn a thermostat quickly and significantly, it still takes a while for the temperature to change. I am sure you can handle the transition, so go for it!

Otherwise, you know only that which everyone else knows. – Henry Doherty So many people think they’re done with “school” and “learning” once their undergraduate, or even graduate, days are over. That, unfortunately, is a recipe for stagnation and regression. The…

  • Curate Your Desires

    ByMatthew

    Is desire some thing beyond our control, or even influence? Something that arises from the ether of its own accord shrouded in mystery? It’s fair to say that we understand the need to create plans to make our desires real – that we need to be intentional and deliberate in order to make what we want…

  • Choose Growth, Focus on Love

    ByMatthew

    One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again. – Abraham Maslow I would edit Maslow’s suggestion a bit and suggest that rather than (concerning ourselves with) “overcoming fear,” that we focus on its opposite: love. Choose growth…

    I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. – Albert Einstein So many people associate curiosity with research or innovation, but it has a (wonderful) personal application: How can you be curious about yourself, who you are, what you want and how you can get it? When you use curiosity in this way,…
