109 Fresh Thinking Quotes That Give You A New Perspective

Thinking

Your thoughts are very powerful. Thinking can create your reality consciously and unconsciously. That's why we should always be cautious about what we think about.

Positive thoughts create positive outcomes, while negative thoughts create negative outcomes. Thoughts have the power to draw outcomes and possibilities to you. What you think about constantly is what you attract.

And although thinking is free, not everyone does it. Some people would rather speak and do things without taking the time to think of the consequences of their words and actions.

This is how you find people saying and doing hurtful things to others without thinking of the other person's feelings. You should always think before saying and doing anything. Considering your words and actions can help you avoid confrontations and situations.

Your thoughts govern the things you do and say. You can tell a lot about how a person thinks by watching them. People's actions and words betray their thoughts and the amount of wisdom they possess.

Whether you think you can or think you cannot, you are right. What you think of yourself is what you believe about yourself. If you don't think you can achieve something, then you will not be able to attain it, but if you believe in your capabilities, you can accomplish a lot more.

Avoid being influenced by other people's ideas of you. People will have all sorts of opinions about you, judged on just how they see you. They may try to put thoughts in your head about how they think you should act, speak, or live.

But those are just their thoughts, and you are in control of your own. Don't give anyone the power to tell you what to think. Here is a collection of our carefully curated ‘thinking quotes' to guide, inspire, and motivate you!

You can start over again! Don’t even think about quitting now! It is easy to replay in your mind how things did not work, how much you lost, what you are going through, how angry you are. There is no amount of conversation or magic that is going to wipe the slate clean. You are wasting valuable time and energy that could be used to regain a new normal and start another version of your life. Even though you are hurt and you may be feeling down — stop kicking yourself! Face what has happened. Make the decision to start over again.

I knew we were all thinking of her, dead and laughless, cold, no longer Alaska. The idea that Alaska didn’t exist still stunned me every time I thought about it. She’s rotting underground in Vine Station, Alabama, I thought, but even that wasn’t quite it. Her body was there, but she was nowhere, nothing, POOF.

I wondered if there would ever be a day when I didn't think about Alaska, wondered whether I should hope for a time when she would be a distant memory - recalled only on the anniversary of her death, or maybe a couple of weeks after, remembering only after having forgotten.

The next time someone gives you a suggestion, rather than simply accepting and acting on the suggestion - THINK - exercise your reasoning factor.

Listen Tohru-kun, if thinking about something makes you anxious, the best thing you can do is stop thinking about it! It’s like this: Imagine you’re in the middle of a mountainous pile of laundry, so much laundry that you can’t even take one step. On top of that, you don’t have a washing machine, so everything has to be washed by hand, one at a time. You don’t know where to start. “Can I really wash everything? Can I make everything clean again? Can I make everyone happy?” You wonder if you have what it takes to accomplish this task. But every time you think about it, you get stressed out. Still, time is marching on. What should you do? Maybe you should start by washing the laundry at your feet first. It is important to think about what lies ahead, but if you only focus on that, you’ll trip over the laundry at your feet, right? So it’s also important to think about what you can do right now, today. If you do that, washing one piece of laundry at a time, before you know it, the sun will be out, beaming down on you. And sure, you’ll still feel anxiety from time to time, but when that happens, take a little break. Go read a book, watch some TV, or eat somen with everyone.
