You have got to change the way you think. It is the whole determining factor of where
you go in life. We are all where we are today because we thought ourselves to this position.
If you don’t like the position, think yourself out of it. Your brain is divided into 2 halves.
Positive and negative. Good and evil. It don’t function on nothing else. Ain’t no neutral
ground in your brain. It’s either positive and good, or negative and evil. Each half
of your brain has millions of factory workers on each side. You got a million factory workers
on the positive side, you got a million factory workers on the negative side. At the forefront
of each one of those factories in your brain is a foreman. You got foreman positive, and
you got foreman negative. You are in charge. You’re the boss of the factory. Guess what?
We are how we think. You can’t make a world, but you can make your own world. So now, since
your brain is in 2 halves, let me show you how this works. You wake up in the morning
and you say “man, I don’t feel myself today. I got up on the wrong side of the bed.
I’m not a morning person.” Foreman negative hears that. He steps to the front. He says
“what did you say”? You say “I said I woke up on the wrong side of bed today,
I’m not myself I’m not a morning person. He say “you got it right away.” He said
“hey. The boss just woke up and said he’s not a morning person, he’s having a bad
day today, and he ain’t feeling himself. Let’s get to work.” The million factory
workers start producing thoughts to justify what you just said. So now guess what? “Man
I hate my alarm clock went off this morning. I gotta get out here in this traffic. I done
drive down here today, I don’t even like these people on my job. I can’t stand this
car I’m finna get in this morning. Sure wish I had a new car but I’m driving this
raggedy car.” And on and on and on. And your day starts tumbling into what you audit
at the top of the day. You can wake up in the morning and you say yknow what? Today
is gonna be a great day today. I expect something really good to happen for me today. He said
“what did you say?” You say “I said I’m having a great day today. I expect something
good to happen today.” Foreman positive turns around and goes “Alright let me have
your attention. Steve’s having a great day today. He’s expecting some wonderful things
to happen, and man, let’s get it going. And let’s start manufacturing thoughts.”
Same brain. “Man I can’t wait to go to work today. It may not be the job I want but
at least I got a job. I’m so grateful I got a car to drive to work today. Hey man,
at least I got a cheque coming in. I appreciate the fact that I don’t have a car but at
least I can walk to the train. Man this is gonna be great today.” That’s how your
mind works 24/7. It never turns off. Change your attitude, you change your altitude. It
all depends on how you look at it. Our lives are mostly affected by the way we think things
are. Not the way they are. The way we think they are affects us most. And Shoaff taught
me that the mind is like a factory. A mental factory. And whatever you think about all
day long, pours ingredients into this mental factory. And that’s what builds the economic,
social, financial fabric of your life. As you think, so you become.
