From the If-Then Theory: If you are not being successful at what you are doing-- then, maybe you should be doing something else! Far too often, we are so caught up in what we are doing that it is difficult to see where we are going. Under this situation, one needs to keep in mind --that continuous failure means one should change direction, or, stop doing that thing altogether. It could be that we have not equipped ourselves to effectively accomplish it, or we simply have allowed something or someone to stand in our way. This is true whether it relates to the business world, a day-to-day job, or your personal life. The School of Consequential Thought can prepare one to begin thinking outside the box, use a thought process, allow that place in our brain to calculate options to move on to a more successful outcome. Repeatedly we forget that God has equipped us with free will, and repeatedly we fail to put it to use. We make choices based on someone else's agenda. When you begin to think outside the box, you begin to move closer to a paradigm shift. Therefore, as a man thinketh, so shall he be. Choices -- The choices you make in life will ultimately tell the tale. Coupled with free will, making good choices can move one to a place where success is inevitable.

An Excerpt from The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them." Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about. Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing. How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind. Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision. We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant. Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted. As it's written in the Bible, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison. The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant it must return to us. You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.
