THURSDAY THOUGHTS
Thoughts Become Things!
Or be careful what you wish for
Let's say you're anxious about your relationship. If you're thinking about a solution or a better way, do you feel about soccer or the person you want a relationship with now?
That seems like a silly question. Believe me when I tell you that people don't always think about a problem, solution, or participation. It's hard to believe on point.
Enter: Thoughts Become Things. If you've never had the experience, you're not thinking about solutions.
True Story: Before becoming the CEO of a startup casualty insurance company, I discussed our business plan with one of our investors. He said, "You don't think you can hit that number in such a short period, do you?"
I said, "That all depends on what you're thinking." He shrugged it off and then walked off." I took it as a challenge. I thought of nothing else when I didn't have to think about something else. In fifteen months, we became profitable. In twenty months, we became one of the fastest-growing companies in America.
Objective: We did not hit the goal; we exceeded it by two and one-half times. How? Because I was, my salespeople, my VP, and our Chairman were all thinking of ways we could accomplish the goal. Our thoughts helped us exceed our own expectations.
Conclusion: You'll never get what you want if you don't think about achieving what you want. Thoughts do become things.
Refresh your soul in one of the easiest ways possible. Think about doing it differently. You're not feeding your soul if you're doing anything the same way and expecting a different result. Think and Refresh the Soul.
