Summary: <p>Listen to episode 123 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Aspirations, Inspirations & Positive Thinking. Adapted from the book Your Forces and How to Use Them by Christian D. Larson.</p><br> <p><strong> Inspirational Podcast Excerpt</strong>: <em>Life is growth and the object of right thinking is to promote that growth. Give less time trying to change the opinions of others, and more time trying to improve your own life. Life becomes the way it is lived; and we may live the way we want to live when we learn to think what we want to think. Create your own thought and you become what you want to become because your thought creates you. </em></p><br> <p><em>We all know that we are as we think. Then we must think only such thoughts as tend to make us what we wish to be. The secret of right thinking is found in always keeping the mind's eye fixed upon the greater and the better in all things. </em></p><br> <p><em>Scientific research in the metaphysical field has demonstrated the fact we are what we think, that we become what we think, and that what we think in the present, determines what we are to become in the future; and also that since we can change our thoughts for the better along any line, we can therefore completely change ourselves along any line. </em></p><br> <p><em>But the majority of us who try to apply this law do not succeed to a great degree, the reason being that instead of working entirely upon the principle that we are as we think, we proceed in the belief that we are what we think we are. </em></p><br> <p><em>At first sight there may seem to be no difference between the principle that we are as we think and the belief that we are what we think we are, but close study will reveal the fact that the latter is absolutely untrue. You are not what you think you are, because personality, mentality, and character are not determined by personal opinions....</em></p><br> <p><strong>Related Inspirational Podcasts:</strong></p><br> <p><a title="Emile Coue Books" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/autosuggestion-self-mastery-emile-coue/">Autosuggestion & Self-Mastery</a></p><br> <p><a title="Gratitude & Joy" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/thought-power-gratitude-joy-being-successful/">Thought Power - Being Successful</a></p>
