Notes

man is the sum of his thoughts.

by weeding out bad or useless thoughts, a person can bring joy, strength, peace and wisdom to his life.

bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.”

Unhappy thoughts have a slew of unfortunate side effects: a higher heart rate, poorer sleep, headaches, and yes, wrinkles from all that frowning!

Directing your thoughts is crucial if you want to achieve any sort of goal. Whether you intend to reach new heights in your workplace, your relationships or your spiritual practice, it won’t be possible unless you focus your thoughts on that goal. This means letting go of all thoughts that distract you from your goals.

But your mind is like a muscle; with practice, you can train it to think more effectively, positively and purposefully.

“Thought is the fount of action, life, and manifestation; make the fountain pure, and all will be pure.”
