"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in your mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kinds of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." Henry Thoreau

A question to tinker with:

  • What kind of thoughts dominate my mind? And, are they the thoughts with which I want deep pathways?

"It's a sad day when you find out that it's not accident or time or fortune, but just yourself that kept things from you."

Lillian Hellman

Very good thought. It really makes me think about how I should be steering my thoughts in positive directions instead of always worrying about what is not getting done.

Another quote that illustrates the power of thought comes from Sidney Madwed, who said, "If constructive thoughts are planted, positive outcomes will be the result. Plant the seeds of failure and failure will follow."
