Change your thoughts, and you will change your life.
Nothing shifts if the mind remains the same.
The road to greatness rises first in thought;
Think yourself small, and small you shall end.
Guard your thoughts and guard your mind.
Watch them day and watch them night.
You become the shape of what you think,
No matter your age, no matter your years
All men rise so high from thoughts
No one builds a life so high
Not till they build their thinking right.
And think the way only of the wise.
For as you think, so shall your being grow—
Thoughts are the fertile soil of every mind.
For life is fashioned by our thoughts;
Your thoughts will craft your destiny bright
When your thoughts betray you, whispering
Lesser things, dampening your fire
You may dwell in gloom and want
Even when the world around you gleam.
The clouds, the blue, the blazing heights—
Surely you will rise and you will reach
The place of moon and sun and stars
Is where you thoughts if right can lead
