![]() You got room to stretch, you can run a little bit. It really is and it's a wonderful place to be. You really want to get to the top because I can tell you right now, it's not crowded up there. This isn't part of the lesson, I want to stop here for a moment and just say, you really want to get to the top. And by the way, that's why we want, we want to get to the top. I wanted to call a book Thinking Your Way to the Top, because what I have done is I've identified that there are certain types of thinking that people that go to the top think so differently than people who never get to the top. In fact, that was one of the Time Warner people came up with. When I wanted to write the book in the initial of time, I didn't think of the title, Thinking for a Change. Basically, all we're doing at that time is forming it and kind of getting started the best way we can by getting other people's ideas. Usually, I'll give them three to five pages, a form of how the book is going to be conceived in the concept, the thesis, that whole process. When I was going to write the book, Thinking for a Change, I sat down with a Time Warner people, as you always do, when you get the eye idea or the concept, and you sit around a table and you bounce it around for a while. Nothing expands possibilities like unleashed thinking." And there are basically two kinds of people in the world, those who think in limitations or in smallness, and those who think in creativity and unleash great thoughts within themselves. William Arthur Ward said, "Nothing limits achievement like small thinking. Number four, people who go to the top think differently than others. You get in and it takes you to where you want to go. That's why James Allen would say, "You are today where your thoughts have brought you, and you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." Your thoughts are like a taxi. Third thought that I want to talk to you about in thinking or share with you this day is this, our thoughts determine our destiny, and our destiny determines our legacy. That's always the process, thinking, becoming, doing. That's why John Locke said, "The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts." The process is very simple. That's why Emerson said, "Life consists of what a man is thinking about all day." The second thought about thinking is this one, what we think determines who we are, and who we are, determines what we do. The thought is the originator of anything that happens to us. The first thought is this one, everything begins with a thought. ![]() The book, Thinking for a Change, I open the book with the five thoughts that are in your notes right here, because I believe these five thoughts, absolutely with all of my heart. So what you believe is something that has been previously continual thoughts that formed themselves to one day became a believer, it became a conviction. You see, beliefs are nothing more than a byproduct of what you have thought long enough about that you have bought you into. When you change your thinking, you change your beliefs. John Maxwell: When you change your thinking, you change your beliefs. You would like to download your copy, just go to /think and click the bonus resource button.
