It's hard to overstate the value of becoming a good thinker. Good thinking can reap a number of benefits for us. It can result in increased revenue, create opportunities, and solve problems. It can be a game changer for you. It has the power to change your life. So today I shall share a six steps template with you to tell you how to change your thinking. So please bring in your pen and paper and note down all the steps. Until then, I shall wait for you. Hello all, I'm Kapel Gupta, founder of Study Abroad Academy. I am on a mission to coach and mentor 100,000 high school students and help them realize their dream of studying in the best universities of the world and build happy careers for themselves. But before sharing the six steps template, first of all, we should know what points to keep in mind before beginning the process of this change. Now we must remember that changed thinking is not automatic. It doesn't happen on its own. And if you need to become a better thinker, you need to make a conscious or deliberate effort for it. And secondly, change thinking is difficult. If anyone says it's easy, it means they haven't engaged themselves in actually changing it. No wonder, Albert Einstein once said, thinking is hard work, and that's why so few do it. And thirdly, change thinking is worth the investment. When you take the time to learn how to change your thinking and become a better thinker, you are investing in yourself. Stock markets crash, real estate investments can go sour, but a human mind with the ability to think is priceless. Now with this, we are ready to explore the six steps template to master the process of good thinking. So let's begin. Step one, expose yourself to good input. Good thinkers are always game for it. They always look for good things to get started. As it's said, good input leads to good output. So one can read books or other good material of interest, listen to podcasts, interviews, etc., and gather the input available. Step two, expose yourself to good thinkers. Yes. Spend time with the right people. I realize that when my close friends, my colleagues, and even some of my family members are great thinkers, I love them and cherish their company. I try to be close to them, listen to them. I see them grow through their actions. Each one of them is a good thinker. And like a proverb says, sharp people sharpen one another just as iron sharpens iron. So if you wish to be a sharp thinker, be close to sharp people. Then step three. Choose to think good thoughts. Good thinking is an intentional process. One has to make a deliberate effort. It must be made a priority. Now try to think in a disciplined manner. Choose a place to be your thinking place. A place without any distractions. Now if one can find such a place at home, it's great. Or go to some secluded place where there's peace and calm. Take along your notebook and pen and make sure to capture the idea in writing. Then step four, act on your good thoughts. Ideas have a short shelf life. One must act on them before they expire. Ideas come in a flash, and if you don't write them or act on them, they go away into the darkness. You will never be able to implement as it got lost. The right approach will be that when you have an idea but no time to implement it, don't wait. Think about the first thing you need to do. Look at your calendar and schedule the time to do it. Then step five, allow your emotions to create another good thought. To start the thinking process, you cannot rely on your feelings. If you wait until you feel like doing something, you'll actually never accomplish it. The same is for thinking. You cannot wait until you feel like thinking. Then lastly, step six. Repeat the process. One good thought does not make a good life. As people say, an idea can change your life. Yes, it's true. But to sustain in that changed life, one must have a consistent flow of good thoughts. Otherwise, you'll only be known as one message speaker or a one-time inventor or a one hit wonder, etc. Becoming a good thinker is not overly complicated. It's a discipline. If you can follow the steps given above, you can set yourself to a lifestyle of good thinking. So be an action taker. I hope you find this podcast useful.
