This is the first book I've listened to by the author and has started me on a journey which included a few of his other works. Dreams are what make our realities. You will become what you dream about.
Dream and you will become that dream. You will become the vision that you hold in your mind. Your ideal is crucial because it is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. You cannot travel within and stand still without. If you strive for an ideal, your circumstances will change and evolve. Your thoughts, your vision and your ideal are what will change your circumstances and your environment.
So realize whatever it may be, it will rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. What comes true is a burning purpose or desire. You have the opportunity today to change your dominant aspiration or what you think about all the time.
Then you will become that person again. The brave ones, however, believe in the power of thought and are going to make it happen. Chance is not. Earlier we talked about the idea of how our sacrifices are a measure of the result.
So the strength of the effort is a measure of the result. You become again the pictures you paint in your mind. This almost sums up the whole book. We are not attracting just what we want, but who we are becoming in this process.
Our thoughts are changing our character and our circumstances. Our thoughts are directing us towards who we are or whatever we will become. All that a man achieves and fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts. This is a very sobering reminder that our thoughts are the core reason for our own achievement or everything that is coming true in our life.
As he continues to think, so he remains. We have to consistently challenge ourselves to think bigger in order to accomplish bigger goals and achievements. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein and will continue to produce their kind. This is but saying that nothing can come from corn but corn, nothing from nettles but nettles.
Men understand this law in the natural world, and work with it, but few understand it in the mental and moral world though its operation there is just as simple and undeviating and they, therefore, do not cooperate with it. Thoughts are just like seeds. If you plant corn seeds, you will produce corn, not apples.
We all use this idea in the natural world all the time. Our thoughts lead to habits and the habits lead to circumstances. Again, we are not victims of the circumstances but of our own thoughts. Only great thoughts can create for us the life of our dreams.

Whether the character traits or conditions are more effective in any situation has not actually been proven. It is familiar that some people have more difficulty even though they have a good character and attitude.
On the contrary, there are also many grasping and imposter people living in peace and prosperity. So we can conclude that it would be wrong to associate the character with the circumstances.
Similarly, by looking at his personality, it is not always possible to predict the problems that someone will face. There is a general belief that most of the prisoners are evil, but some may have a good heart. The factors that cause unhealthy aging are harmful habits such as smoking and alcohol, lack of healthcare and defective genes. But attitude should also be taken into account. We all know now that thoughts have a significant impact on both characters and circumstances.
So it should not be surprising that our thoughts also affect our bodies. Depressed thoughts have serious health problems such as the high risk of heart attack, insufficient sleep, headache, and wrinkles. On the other hand, what makes us happier and younger is to think and feel cheerful, peaceful, and lively.
So feeling the existence of a healthy and young body depends on how healthy your thoughts are. To succeed in anything and get what you want, you should manage your thoughts. You can succeed when you focus your thoughts on goals such as getting promoted at work, having harmonious relationships or strengthening your spiritual life.
It is necessary to stay away from all thoughts that hinder your goals and objectives. Any thoughts that make you feel pessimistic, frightened or uncertain should be eliminated because they will take you to failure. At first, it is not easy to get rid of such thoughts but we can force the mind to think more actively, constructively and intentionally.
In the second part, we realized that the outside world is not entirely responsible for who we are today and for the mistakes we make. However, it would be also unfair to blame ourselves for all our failures in life, right?
Since this is not a useful attitude, we should renew our way of thinking. The idea of victimization condemns us to oppression. Feeling like a victim allows others to treat us like a victim. They cannot make us suffer unless we want it. Therefore, it is up to us to achieve our freedom. Our goals and values should be beyond the circumstances we are in.
Our ambitions and dreams are leverage for success. So it is crucial to be with visionary people and has a vivid imagination. A world without artists would be an inaesthetic and a stagnant place. The discovery of new worlds is only possible with imagination. Columbus, for example, imagined the existence of new worlds and began his journey of discovery. Master your thoughts to improve your personality and conditions.
Focus your thoughts on goals to become successful.
