You are what you think. You are literally the sum of your thoughts.
Action only comes once the seeds of thought have been planted and sowed.
And, I tend to read it when I remind myself that my thoughts lead to my actions, which lead to my habits, which then led to how I am being treated. A powerful message that I get from this book is for me to ask myself what childhood wounds as I still nourishing and preserving. When I ask myself this, I speak up to others with more confidence than I communicated before. This is a very powerfull book. I read it about fifteen years ago but for some reason didn't connect with it.
