Targeted Thought Tuesday

Can you change your mind? If you cannot, it's not your doing the thinking! You've adopted someone else's viewpoint!

Most of your thoughts are not yours; they are your parents, your teachers, your friends, the books, the movies, the television, the newspapers!

Of necessity, indoctrination must legitimize itself by dressing itself in the garb of "education" lest we discover we are being robbed of our ability to think independently by being led to believe we are thinking independently!

Positive thinking does not mean problems don't exist, it simply means solutions do!

The overwhelming majority of people never think and those who think will never become the overwhelming majority!

Most people measure words spoken per day - Few measure thoughts per day!

When everyone thinks something is true, it does not make it anything more than effective marketing!

Every manmade disaster begins when one man thinks for another, however benevolent they begin, the ultimate outcome is tyranny!

When you demand the fantasy world to blow your mind, remember that the real world has teeth!

Nothing was ever so unfamiliar and startling to a man as his own thoughts!

The windows of opportunity for growth can be few and far between, perhaps it is our willingness to approach them which is infrequent!

The schooled mind is confined to the teachings of the school, the free mind has not been shackled - its potential is infinite!

In general, positive thinking is not as important as learning to feel positively, because our thoughts about a situation are derived from what we are feeling!

What is the point of laying out the odds of a gamble if the person taking it either didn't believe the numbers or didn't want to know them!

If you don't think past your own thoughts, you will live a prisoner to your experience. It can be a very small cell to live in!
