CC2 Thought Determines Outcome

"This blog is 'rocket fuel' for the new manager!"

 

Imagine you’re standing at the free-throw line on a basketball court.  You have the ball in your hands and you’re staring at the basket ready to make the shot, anticipating the rush you’ll feel when the ball goes through the hoop.  You know what you want, you know how to get it; it’s just a matter of making the shot.  Now, imagine telling yourself, “I can’t do it.” 

The odds of success have just dropped dramatically.  Why?  Because thought often determines outcome. 

Like attracts like.  Positive thought produces positive results while negative thought produces negative results.  It’s easy enough to establish a goal you’d like to achieve, but your attitude towards meeting that goal makes the difference between success and failure.  Negative thoughts produce half-hearted attempts at best, sabotaging your own efforts and yielding weak, unsatisfying results. 

Establishing a goal then pursuing that goal with confident, enthusiastic, unselfish focus will yield productive, successful results.  A positive attitude creates a climate in which dreams grow, purpose and meaning thrive, goals are achieved and you become what you believe you can be.  In other words, you become what you are thinking.
