DEVELOPING A RIGHT THINKING PLACE.

DEVELOPING A RIGHT THINKING PLACE.

Proverb 23:7a
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭23‬:‭7‬ KJV)

Phillipians4:8
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. (‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ NLT)



To develop a place of good thoughts, do the following: 

1-Find a designated place where you can think.i.e. Where to generate good thoughts.
Plan to capture your thoughts on paper so that you don't loose them. 

2- Find a place to shape your thoughts.
Rarely do ideas come fully formed & completely worked out. 
Most of the time, they need to be shaped until they have substance.
So ask questions about your ideas 
Fine tune them.
Put your thoughts in writing. 
Senator , college professor S.I. Hayakawa, wrote, " Learning to write is learning to think. You don't know anything clearly unless you can state it in writing". 
You change shape your thoughts almost everywhere. 
Just find a place that works for you; where you will be able to write things down,focus your attention without interruptions, & ask questions about your ideas.

3-Find a place to stretch your thoughts. 
##The seed of your thought plus the right people in the right environment  at the right time for the right reason= right result.
Remember that every good thought has the potential to become something great. 
When you find a place to stretch your thoughts, you find that potential.

4- Find a place to land your thoughts.
Any idea that remains only an idea doesn't make a great impact. 
The real power of an idea comes when it goes from abstraction to application.
For the application process of a thinking process, land your ideas first with:
i) Yourself: it gives you integrity.
Ask yourself ; Do I believe  it ? 
Do I live it ? Do I believe others should live it? 
If one can't say ,yes to all the 3 questions , then you haven't landed it.
ii) then  land your ideas to key players : no idea will fly if the influencers don't embrace it. After all, they are the people who carry thoughts from idea to implementation. 
ii) then on those most affected: those closest to changes that will  occur mas a result of the new idea can give you a "reality read". 

5- Find a place to fly your thoughts.
Henri - Louis Bergson ,  a French philosopher , who won the Nobel prize in literature in 1927 says, " Think like a man of action- act like a man of thought". 
Developing a place of good thinking requires ones willingness to engage the process everyday.
