Thoughts lead to purposes;
purposes go forth in action;
action forms habits;
habits decide character;
and character fixes our destiny.
Tyron Edwards
Saying your thoughts are not powerful and that they have no effect on your life because you tried to manifest something and it did not work is self-deception. Most people who make such statements did not even stay on track for a month. Some may have tried it for two or three months and then quit, and others only made a half-hearted attempt for a few weeks before quitting.
These principles are not magic. You don’t work on changing your thoughts for a few weeks, meditate on and off for a while, and focus on the principles in this book whenever you happen to think about them and expect great results. That is a blab-it-and-grab-it mentality, and inner peace does not work that way. Developing your inner peace and changing your internal thoughts is a process, and it takes time and dedication.
Think about it like this. If you were interested in developing great martial arts skills like Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee, do you think that is going to happen after you start training for a couple of months or even a year and then quit? Of course not!
Those men did not develop those skills overnight, and neither will you. They consistently focused their minds on developing their skills for years and years. They trained their minds, put their thoughts into action physically, mentally, and spiritually, and then consistently stayed on their path until their thoughts and goals became reality.
