Thinking is life. If we are not thinking, we are not living. The dead cannot think, but the living can.

The question is, ‘What are you thinking about? Are you dwelling on your past mistakes? Are you dwelling on your past failures? Are you thinking about the future that is not even here?

Or, are you thinking about what you are going to do to make your today better than your yesterday?

Thinking is good. Each time a thought comes to your mind that is not going to help you achieve your dreams, you must replace it with a positive one. Each time a negative thought comes to your mind, do not welcome it. If you do not want it to ruin your day, you must get it out of your system. Do not digest it. Do not welcome it. Do not celebrate it.

Remember, you are what you think. If you want to be happy, then think happy thoughts. If you want to live a meaningful life, then fill your mind with meaningful thoughts. If you want to see love in your life, then you must fill your mind with love thoughts. If you want to be successful in your career, then fill your mind with positive thoughts.

Why is that? Because your thoughts and your feelings are connected. Your thoughts and your actions are connected. Your life and your actions are connected. You cannot separate your thoughts from who you are. You cannot separate your thoughts from what you have. You cannot separate your thoughts from your friends. Because your thoughts attract what you see in your life.

If you want to see positive things in your life, you must focus your thoughts on what is working for you, not on what is not working.

Your thoughts are powerful, but you are more powerful than your thoughts. Since you are bigger than your thoughts, you can do something about them. You can use your thoughts to change yourself. You can use your thoughts to bring great things into your life. You can use your thoughts to change how you live your day. And you can use your thoughts to prepare for your future.

Remember, if you can change your thoughts, you can change your day. If you can change your day, you can change your life. So if you want to change your life, you must start with your thoughts. Stop thinking negative thoughts. Focus on positive thoughts.

When you focus on positive thoughts, you will get positive results. Do we have a deal?

How To Change Your Identity

Your real identity is not your passport. Your real identity is not your job. Your identity is not your bank account. Your real identity is not your fancy cars. It is not your gated-community.

So what is your real Identity? Your real identity, again, is not who the world says you are. It is not who other people say you are. It is not who your friends say you are. It is not who your boss says you are. It is not what anyone can just talk about. It is not what any success can do for you. Your identity, your real identity, is who you say you are. Your identity is your face in the world. Your identity is your uniqueness. Your identity is how you treat yourself. It is how you treat other people. It is how you live your life. It is how you do your work. Above all, it is what matters the most to you.

The problem with identity is that many people are just walking around with the wrong faces. They are living their double lives. They are in the wrong jobs. They are in the wrong relationships. They are doing the wrong things. Why? Because they are answering to the world, not to themselves. They are paying attention to what the world wants, not what their souls are crying for.

If that is you, wherever you are, you can do something about it. Yes, you can change your identity. You can change your life by changing your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions. You can. The queston is, ‘Will you?’

If you want your life to change today, then you have got to be real with yourself. Ask yourself, ‘Am I really who I say I am?’ If yes, you are great! If not, you must get to work. Don’t stay the same. Don’t listen to those who want you to stay the same. Don’t let fear keep you stuck. Start small. The people you admire today started small. Successful people are not perfect. But they started. You can do the same. Start as a little baby. And never stop doing it until you get what you want. Because life is going to test you. Failure will test you. People will test you. Disappointments will test you. And success will test you.

Life is going to throw things at you. You will face problems. You will face hurdles that are bigger than you. But don’t let those things stop you from living your real identity. Because if you do not have the courage to put yourself out there, to do what is difficult, to face your fears, to face your demons, your identity will stay the same. Your life will stay the same. But you can change your path today, right now. But how?

Remember, you can change your identity. You can choose you. You can learn more about yourself. You can ask real questions. You can learn to do things differently. You can learn to take actions, actions that can change your life. You can learn how to attract great people. You can learn to set your own gaols. And pursue them without any delay. You can learn to be who you are. Above all, to really change your identity, your thoughts must be in alignment with your values. If not, you are not living your life. You are living other people’s dreams.

If that is what you want for yourself, then that is okay. You don’t need to change anything. But if you want something different, then you must push forward.
