The Best Thing You Can Do For Yourself

‘The best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is- not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him; or say, to make him think for himself.’- George MacDonald

Do your own thinking. If you are not growing, it is because you are not doing your own thinking.

If you have not started doing your own thinking, if you have not started facing your own life, if you are still waiting for others to tell you what to do, how to live your life, what to do with your income, or where to take your next vacation, you are not thinking for yourself; other people are doing your thinking for you; you are not living for yourself; you are living for others.

If you are not where you want to be, maybe you are not thinking enough. Maybe you are hiding your greatness.

To get your promotion, you must do your own thinking. That is what great leaders do. They do their own thinking. They don’t wait for people to tell them how to think.

Thinking is the best thing to do for yourself. It is the gateway to your inner self. If you want to bring out the best in yourself, if you want to wake yourself up, you must do your own thinking.

Do not be scared to think. If you do not know what to think about, just think about when you were a little child. Maybe that will take you back to when you were not afraid to try different things.

Do it for you. Do not be scared of what is going to come out. Whatever comes out, you have what it takes to deal with it.

Deal with it. If you don’t deal with your secrets, they are going to deal with you. When they do, you are not going to be happy with yourself.

If you don’t think for yourself, if you do not do what you are supposed to do to get to where you want to be, life will not let you go unpunished.

If you don’t want life to deal with you, you must do your own thinking. When you do, you get bigger. And your world gets bigger.
