THINK STRAIGHT: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life
99% of your thoughts are useless. William James, once the leading psychologist in America, and one of the founders of the philosophical school of pragmatism, put it best:
Pragmatism believes that the mind is a tool. Your mind should work for you, not against you. People who don't master their mind, don't believe it's possible.
They say: "I can't help but thinking these things."
You have the ability to decide what you think. Or, you can choose NOT to think.
And that is one of the most important and most practical things you can learn in life. Before I learned that skill, I would spend hours and hours inside my head. Just think about how much you think.
"What happens if I screw up and lose my job?"
"What if my business never takes off?"
"Does she love me?"
"Why does my life suck?"
"What if I get cancer?"
"I can't finish anything. What's wrong with me? And the list goes on.
I wrote this little book in a way that you can read it more than once. And I hope that this book serves as an anchor to you--especially during trying times.
The mind is the most powerful tool on earth. Change the way you think. And you'll change your life.
