HOW TO BECOME A BETTER THINKER?
By John C. Maxwell
1. Expose Yourself to Good Input
#. What you put in always impacts what
comes out.
#. Read books, review trade magazines, listen to news, and spend time with good
thinkers
2. Expose Yourself to Good Thinkers
#. Spend time with the right people.
#. The writer of Proverbs observed that sharp people sharpen one another, just as
iron sharpens iron. If you want to be a sharp thinker, be around sharp people.
[17]As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
(Proverbs 27:17)
3. Choose to Think Good Thoughts
#. To become a good thinker, you must become intentional about the thinking
process. Regularly put yourself in the right place to think, shape, stretch, and
land your thoughts. Make it a priority. Remember, thinking is a discipline.
4. Act on Your Good Thoughts
#. Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date.
#. World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker said it all when he remarked, “I can
give you a six-word formula for success: Think things through—then follow
through.”
5. Allow Your Emotions to Create Another Good Thought
#. To start the thinking process, you cannot rely on your feelings
#. Act your way into feeling long before you can feelyour way into action. If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will
likely never accomplish. The same is true for thinking. You cannot wait untilyou feel like thinking to do it.
#. However, once you engage in the
process of good thinking, you can use your emotions to feed the process and create mental momentum.
6. Repeat the Process
#. One good thought does not make a good life. The people who have one goodthought and try to ride it for an entire career often end up unhappy or destitute.
They are the one-hit wonders, the one-book authors, the one-message speakers,
the one-time inventors who spend their life struggling to protect or promote their
single idea.
#. Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that
they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for
fifty years. To become someone who can mine a lot of gold, you need to keep
repeating the process of good thinking.
THE MUST KNOW!
The amount ofgood thinking you can do at any time depends primarily on the amount of goodthinking you are already doing
#. Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein, one of thebest thinkers who ever lived, asserted, “Thinking is hard work; that’s why so fewdo it.”
#. Six-word formula for success: Think things through—then follow
through.”
