“By far the most vital lesson I have ever learned is the importance of what we think. If I knew what you think, i would know what you are. Our thoughts make us what we are.”- Dale Carnegie

Our thoughts are powerful. They can change our lives. They can make or break us. But you can change your thoughts whenever you want. Your thoughts are under your control. If you can control your thoughts, you can control your life. And you can change your thoughts with practice. No matter what is happening in your life, the best medicine to heal your heart is positive thought. When you are going through things, use the power of positive thoughts to change the situation.

“The mind whose doors are guarded by good shuts out unhappiness…”- James Allen

Negative thoughts will not remain. They will go away. If you want to change your life, positive thoughts will transform you into a positive person. According to James Allen, “There is no greater happiness than to be occupied with good, whether it be good thoughts, good actions, or good employment; for every good thing is fraught with bliss, and evil cannot enter the heart or house that is tenanted by all that is good.” A happy life starts with a positive mind. Evil or negative thoughts cannot enter a positive heart.

“Our thoughts make us who we are.”- Dale Carnegie

If you want to be happier in your life, you must guard your heart. As James Allen once said, “Unhappiness can only enter through unguarded doors…”

Love brings love. Help brings help. If you want to get ahead in your life, if you want to grow, if you want to change your world, you must help other people change their lives. If you want people to help you, to do something for you, to give you love, to make you a better person, you must put people first.

People like to help other people. Human beings are good. It doesn’t matter how many times you have helped other people. Keep helping people. The world needs helpers. The world needs dreamers. You can’t do everything by yourself. You need a mentor. You need someone to show you the way to where you are going. Why is that? Because if you don’t know where you are going, you will arrive at the wrong destination.

And to get yourself back, you need someone who loves you. You need someone who can really tell you what you need to hear. You need someone who is not afraid to talk to you. You need to hear the truth. When it comes to your growth, you need to hear the truth from your mentor. Truth comes from love. Truth comes from acceptance.

If you want to grow, you need other people. You can’t do everything by yourself. You can do something, but you can’t do everything. And don’t even try to be everywhere. Because if you do, you are going to end up at the wrong place. And if you are nowhere, you will never grow. So if you want to become who you were created to be, you need to put people first. When you put people, they will put you first. No matter how small or big, always try to do something to lift people up. According to Claude M. Bristol, “Always try to do something for the other fellow and you will be agreeably surprised how things come your way- how many pleasing things are done for you.”

People don’t want material things; they just want someone to be there for them. They want love. They want someone who will love and accept them for who they are. They want people who will lift them up. They don’t want to hang out with someone who is always putting them down. They don’t want to be around someone who is abusive. From today, always try to do something positive every day. If you do, you will always attract positive things into your life.
