Now it’s time to take a close look at how you think.
As the greatest and wisest teachers have always taught, improving the quality of
your thoughts improves your life almost immediately:
■ The Bible quotes King Solomon: ‘As a man thinketh, so shall he be.’
■ The Buddhist text, The Dhammapada, states: ‘We are what we think. All that
we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world.’
■ The Greek philosopher Socrates said, ‘To find yourself, think for yourself.’
When you think like a confident person, you automatically feel more confident
and act more confidently. Positive thinkers are the happiest and most successful.
Sometimes all it takes to change your life forever is a single thought!
Humans are not robots: you can intentionally choose how to think, and if you
are serious about building your confidence you must start changing your think-
ing patterns without delay. The next few sections explain how.
