Philosophers down through the ages are all in agreement—that thoughts are things and that the happiness of our life depend on the thoughts that we think.

For example, the philosopher James Allen wrote:
“ The life we lead is created by our thoughts. If we would like to improve our life we will have to improve our thoughts. ”
Below are eleven (11) thoughts that I have compiled, to guide us by in our daily life.
1. Be kinder than necessary because someone you meet might be fighting some kind of a battle.
2. If you want your dreams to come true, you must not oversleep.
3.The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
4. The heaviest thing that you can carry is a grudge.
5. One of the best things you can give and still keep is your word.
6. The best vitamins for making friends is to be one.
7. The ten commandments is not a multiple choice.
8. Your mind is like a parachute, it functions only when it is open.
9. Ideas won’t work unless you put “action” in it.
10. One thing worst than a quitter is the person who is afraid to begin.
11. If you lack the courage to start, you are already finished.
As the philosopher Henry David Thoreau said: “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
So, think happy thoughts, think success, and be positive always.
And as you think, so shall you become.
The ten commandments is not a multiple choice. Are you sure Eli
I completely agree with you Eli and I love this post that I would like to rephrase the “11 thoughts to guide us by” in my own words, if you don’t mind.
1. Always choose to be kind than to be right. You might win the argument but you will lose the person.
2. To live your dreams, wake up from your sleep and chase those dreams.
3. Think of noble, pure and admirable things. Remember that a thought reaps an action, an action to habit, a habit to lifestyle, a lifestyle to destiny.
4. Forgiveness is the key to keep yourself from getting ill.
5. Be true to your word. In that way, people will gain your trust.
6. They say if you need a friend, be one. Right?
7. The ten commandments given by God is a life map. In God’s sight if you fail to follow one of them, you fall to sin. He even simplified it to two greatest commandments- first, love your God with all your heart, mind and soul and the second is love your neighbors as you love yourself.
8. Be open-minded all the time. It’s the only way to learn and understand things.
9. A quote says “An idea is just a lousy idea if it is only an idea.”
10. If you will not dare to begin, you’ll never get to experience it.
11. Take courage in doing the first step. It is only difficult at the beginning.
Thanks a lot for accommodating this lengthy comment. I am hoping you will also forgive me with this. Hehehe!
Have a blessed Sunday to you and your family!
