We don't often think about. well, how we think as much as the words and actions that result from our thinking. As you said, our thoughts are the beginning. If we want better outcomes of that thinking, we need to focus more on what goes into it. Each time someone mentions thinking outside the box I am reminded about something Martin Cooper (cellular pioneer) said. (in my words, not his) The best way to get people to think outside the box is to avoid creating the box in the first place.

It makes me realize how many thoughts must past through the minds of people every day--and few are ever brought from a thought, to an idea and then to reality. As mentioned by Jon above, the responsibility is truly key--once people own their thoughts and ideas and act upon them, then and only then do we find progress. These are the 'results' of which you speak. It is, after all, our gift as conscious beings to have the ability to think and reason, but if we never do anything with that ability, then what is the point? Great post Lolly, thanks for the inspiration. --Caitlin I agree with all written here, Lolly.

And I am struck by All your thoughts are not new--but then again WISDOM is not new (I am not being critical). GREAT ideas are not new. So like when I teach my little kids tennis I tell them they are no new basics. There are just newer ways to tell them. I got a lot from your thoughts--helped me to think a little. BIG ideas are best when said with LITTLE WORDS. STEPHEN It all begins with AWARENESS–LIVING IN THE HERE AND NOW.

I believe it gets to the core issues very quickly. Noticing our thoughts is a discipline that enables us, once mastered, to begin challenging the big patterns -- those private mantras related to ourselves and our world that keep repeating themselves. If we don't pay attention, they slip by and we play out these mantras again and again, such as "I'm the only truly responsible one here," or "No one gets me" or "I'm successful for awhile and then I inevitably fail." Whatever these mantras are, they leak out into our actions where THEY lead on the subtle ground of our relationships. The antidote is to consciously bring them front and center, inquire about their origin, thank them for their service in protecting us from one risk or another, and ask them to step back so that our true spirit can come forward.

Set an intention today (thought) and watch the results of your thinking....pay off in the future (reward) Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughtful comment. Lolly Jon,

Too often, we get stuck on the first half. We need to pull it through with the responsibility of our being to produce real results in our life, leaving a rewarding imprint on all those around us. Thank you. Jon Lolly,
