We are today as a result of our thoughts of yesterday and where we are tomorrow is also the result of our thoughts of today. One person cannot change another because we can only be responsible to people and not to people. I can only teach the values of changed thinking and how to make these changes, but people are responsible for making these changes themselves.
Only when you start to make the right changes in your thinking will other things start to turn out well and fall into place. It is not enough to change your thinking pattern until it begins to have a practical impact on the lives of other people around you and your life as well. I started the process of changing thinking many years ago, but couldn’t make any impact until I realized these practical steps.
STEP 1:
CHANGING YOUR THOUGHT CHANGES YOUR BELIEF
Every man is a product of thoughts and his thoughts are largely connected with his beliefs.
Microsoft Bill Gates had a spark of thought many years ago that later made information technology what it is today. Although the thought was so incredible to those around him, he believed and followed with great zeal and enthusiasm regardless of the challenges he faced at the time. Today your thoughts and beliefs have left a mark on the sands of time, which cannot be erased.
Your thoughts can never be productive or responsible until you believe, therefore there is no thought without believing.
You can’t reach a level that you can’t see yourself reaching

STEP 2
CHANGING YOUR BELIEF CHANGES YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
The only obstacle between a man and what he wants out of life is usually the will to try and the faith to believe that it is possible. Your belief process is never complete until your exceptions are in place. Microsoft Bill Gates wouldn’t have gotten this far if he hadn’t waited where he is today.
Your belief is ineffective and incomplete until you wait. Your expectations become effective, not when you sit and wait for things to happen only in your mind, expectations are beyond mind, expectations have to do with action. Therefore, your actions support your expectations.
STEP 3
CHANGING YOUR EXPECTATIONS CHANGES YOUR ATTITUDE.
Changing your thinking requires the right attitude, our emotions are the driving power of our life and the state of our emotions determines our attitude.
Many people don’t really understand what attitude is, I have been guilty of this ignorance until I came across these definitions of attitude.
What is attitude? I believe …
He is the advanced man of our true self.
Its roots are inwards but its fruits are outwards.
It is our best friend or worst enemy.
It is more honest, more consistent than our words.
It is something that draws people to us and repels them.
He is never happy until he expresses himself.
He is the librarian of our past.
He is the speaker of our present.
He is the prophet of our future.
Your expectations follow your attitude, you know what is in your heart when you look at your attitude.
STEP 4
CHANGING YOUR ATTITUDE CHANGES YOUR PERFORMANCE.
The reason that people with the intention of success have not met their expectations is simply because they always do things the old-fashioned way and expect an outstanding result that is different from the old one.
More than 7 billion people on earth perform because they all have a goal, therefore my performance depends on my goals. So my goals depend on my attitude. But what sets you apart from other people is your outstanding performance, which is the result of a change in thinking.
People are so satisfied, overjoyed, and impressed by goal setting and not goal achievement. So focus on achieving goals and not setting goals.
I draw a final note with this syllogism
Main premise: change is personal, I need to change.
Minor premise -Change is possible, I can change.
Conclusion: change is possible, I will be rewarded with change.
