I titled it "The Power of Our Words". I still have yet, to read 'As a Man Thinketh'. I look forward to reading it. Also, I have never heard of Earl Nightingale and look forward to discovering his writings. The two quotes I wanted to share with you and also shared within my letter to my girlfriend are: "Whether you say you can or whether you say you cannot, you are right." ~Henry Ford and Walter Anderson ... both the books I have read of his are so full of much richness. "The truth is, you and I define who we are every day by the choices we make, and thus we CHOOSE who we WANT TO BE... I create myself. I invent myself. You and I are not what we eat; we are what we think. Confidence, by definition, is an attitude - we acquire our attitudes and our attitude towards people and situations is subject to change. The world will always remain the same; how you SEE the world will be different!" ~Walter Anderson Lastly, I recently discovered this quote by Meryl Streep: "We are the choices we make". It makes me smile. There are so many other empowerful reminders such as the ones above and the ones you shared. ~Shannon Collins I am a lover of quotes and you mentioned a couple of quotes in your entry that reminded me of a letter I wrote to my girlfriend/bridesmaid over a year and a half ago.

Orwell. ;-) To me, more rational approach is to set goals and to "cultivate burning desire" and then right thoughts will follow. My first reaction to “seed the right thoughts” was “1984″ by G.
