Do you want to matter the process of good thinking ? Do you want to be a ongoing process that improves your thinking.
I recommed you to do the following:
- Expose Yourself to Good Inputs
Good thinker always prime the pump of ideas. They always look for thing to get the thinking process started, because what you put in always impacts what comes out.
Read books, review trade magazine, listen to tapes, and spend time with good thinkers. And when somethings intriguis you - whether it's someone else idea or the seed of an idea that you've come up with yourself - keep it in front of you. Put it in writing and keep it somewhere in your favourite thinking place to stimulate your thinking.

- Choose to Think Good Thought
To become a good thinker, you must become intentional about the thinking process. Regularly put yourself in the right place to think, shape, strech, and land your thought. Make it a priority. Remember, thinking is discipline.
- Act on your Thought
Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date. World war I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker said it all when he remarked," I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think through then follow through."
- Allow Your Emotions to Create Another Good Thought
To start the thinking process, you cannot rely on your feelings. In Failing forward, I wrote that you can act your way into feelings long before you can feel your way into action. If you wait untill you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it. The same is true for thinking. You cannot wait untill you feel like thinking to do it. However, I've found that once you engage on the process of good thinking, you can use your emotions to feed the process and create mental momentum. Try it for yourself.
- Repeat the Process
Once good thought does not make a good life. The people who have one good thought and try to ride it for an entire career often end up unhappy or destitute. Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years. To become someone who can mine a lot of gold, you need to keep repeating the process of good thinking.
