Man, by thinking, can bring into his experience whatsoever he desires — if he thinks correctly, and becomes a living embodiment of his thoughts. This is not done by holding thoughts but by knowing the Truth.

Your thinking, more than anything else, shapes the way you live. It’s really true that if you change your thinking, you can change your life.

As you think, so you become. As you think, so you develop. As is your ideal, so gradually your life will become. This is so, because there is a great transforming power in thought.

"Learning how to think" really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think.
It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.
Because if you cannot or will not exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed.

You become what you think about

Our life is shaped by our mind, for we become what we think.

You become what you think about.

WE BECOME WHAT WE THINK ABOUT

Cet enseignement, c'est qu'il faut vivre comme on pense, sinon, tôt ou tard, on finit par penser comme on a vécu. (This teaching is to live as we think, otherwise, sooner or later, we end up thinking as we lived.)

We become what we think about.

You don't think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.

The man who has become a thinking being feels a compulsion to give every will-to-live the same reverence for life that he gives to his own. He experiences that other life in his own.

Man lives only to learn. And if he learns it is because it is the nature of his lot, for good or bad.
