"We become what we think about." This is the main message that the so-called Dean of Personal Development Earl Nightingale shared with his listeners in "The Strangest Secret." Simple and yet profound. But it was not only the fact that we become what we think about that is so interesting.

The emphasis of the Strangest Secret is the fact that we can control our thoughts if we choose to do so. In other words, to complete the above statement, we become what we think about, and we can control what we think about. How will knowledge of this fact help you? Well, the process of making the Strangest Secret work for you goes through three steps.

Step 1: Realize and accept that you become what you think about

This step might sound unnecessary, but in fact it is the most necessary one. So many people go through their lives not realizing, or not accepting the fact that their thoughts make them. Once you realize the importance of your thoughts, you have to accept that as well as stop any excuses, which you might come up with to justify your negative thoughts. You become what you think about. Now what do you want to become?

Step 2: Develop the belief that you can control your thoughts

After people have realized and accepted that they become what they think about, they now need to strengthen the belief that they can control their thoughts. This might be the hardest step, as it is really uncomfortable to believe something and then to find yourself unable to follow it. For example, if you believe that you can control your thoughts, then you will have to control them all the time, which is really hard to do. Therefore, most people simply refuse to accept that they can be in control.

Step 3: Control your thoughts on a daily basis - think only what you want to have and be

If you manage to overcome the resistance of negativity and accept that you can control your thoughts, now you can start developing this skill. It would be hard, but with the support of some of the great Law of Attraction programs on the market, you can make it happen. And at the end, you will be able to join the elite group of people, who design their own lives - the 5% that Earl Nightingale talks about. Control your thoughts and you will be able to control your life!
