What you’re thinking is what you’re becoming: We are never a finished product – instead, we’re in the constant process of becoming. These thoughts however are extremely powerful. If we ignore them, easily poisonous thoughts such as doubts, lies and disbelief will start pestering us. The best thing we can do is to be aware of these thoughts, what they are trying to tell us and think of the best ways to indulge in them.

Thoughts are not useless. On the contrary, they define who you become in the process. If you let doubts fester in your mind this is what you’ll become. Instead, if you let focus refine your thoughts, that will be the driving mindset. Success is as much an emotional construct as a physical outcome.

Our thoughts are complex. They aren’t always easy to understand but they leave hints in our minds. We don’t always spend time recognising these thoughts allowing them to grow and sometimes become a monster in our head. Some of our thoughts are helpful while some others are not. But they both have a strong influence on what we are becoming. (Thoughts transform into actions)

Our mindset is in a constant process of becoming. The best way to counter these or even address the process of becoming is by starting to be aware of these thoughts. They are beautiful and can create an internal world that starts making sense with time.

Most of Muhammad Ali’s quotes talk about the power of a strong mindset. They talk about creating an internal frame of mind where success is a given. The victory according to him has already happened in the mind. A physical manifestation occurs because a strong mind guides it to happen.

It may sound a bit philosophical, but I love the idea that we create a better chance of success and a strong mindset through the process. The key message to take from this quote is – watch your thoughts. They create all success and failure. They define who you become.
