8. Don’t Believe Everything You Think
When we have between 50,000-70,000 thoughts per day, this means between 35 and 48 thoughts per minute per person.
Through MRI imaging, researchers have proven that negative thoughts stimulate the areas of the brain that promote depression and anxiety. They’ve also proven that positive thoughts set off a cascade of positive hormones throughout the body that results in feelings of calm and peace.

9. Good Reason To Change Negative Thoughts
Research shows that most people complain once a minute during a typical conversation. Complaining is tempting because it feels good, but like many other things that are enjoyable—such as smoking or eating a pound of bacon for breakfast—complaining isn’t good for you.
Repeated complaining rewires your brain to make future complaining more likely. Over time, you find it’s easier to be negative than to be positive, regardless of what’s happening around you. Complaining becomes your default behavior, which changes how people perceive you.
And here’s the kicker: complaining damages other areas of your brain as well. Research from Stanford University has shown that complaining shrinks the hippocampus—an area of the brain that’s critical to problem solving and intelligent thought. Damage to the hippocampus is scary, especially when you consider that it’s one of the primary brain areas destroyed by Alzheimer’s.

12. Failure is not an Option!
There is no such thing as failure, only feedback.
Michael Jordan, the NBA superstar had:
Lost almost 300 games
Missed over 9000 shots at goal
26 times he was given the ball to take the game winning shot and MISSED
Jordan viewed failures as stepping stones towards success.
Thomas Edison made 10,000 attempts to perfect the light bulb. However rather than accepting failure 9,999 times he is quoted as saying : “I have not failed. I have just found 9,999 ways that do not work”
