Good Thinking--Ideas From John Maxwell


GOOD THINKING—Ideas from John Maxwell

1. Flip Darr, a former collegiate swimming coach who played a part in training eight Olympic medalists said that he felt if he would work on their heads, their bodies would come along. A lot of coaches work on their bodies and then at the last moment try to do their heads. The thing is, if they are working with their heads all the time, and working with their head over the body, mind over matter, they will have more confidence.

2. Mental is to Physical as 4 is to 1.

3. Must be an overall commitment to thinking.

4. Everything begins with a thought—every great invention, technique, conversation, and every bit of growth starts in someone’s head.

5. What we think determines who we are and who we are determines what we do. What kind of person do you want to be? What do you want to accomplish in your life and career? Are your thoughts paving the way for you to achieve those goals or are they getting in the way?

6. Our thoughts determine our destiny, and our destiny determines our legacy. You are today where your thoughts have brought you, and you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

7. People who go to the top think differently than others. Nothing limits achievement like small thinking, and nothing expands possibilities like unleashed thinking.

8. We can change the way we think. The ability to think well isn’t just an asset, it’s a necessity.
