Valuing your thoughts

SUCCESS of others has always remained enigmatic for those who have never tasted it. Success for sure always carries a sly look on its face. Most of the times any success is attributed either to luck, or things like inherent talent, hard-work, positive attitude and qualities like determination and devotion.
Even successful people often credit their success to one of these things. I think, one simple secret that always remains veiled up, that forms the very base of every person’s success. Abstratct yet a concrete foundation for success is the ability to value your own thoughts.
Our thoughts are product of inheritance, experience and individual logic. These would be useless unless we also have a good perception to recognize their worth.
Only those of us who have the keen perception to assess the true value of our thoughts let them out for a success journey. Others don’t and hold them in custody for they never feel these can be so productive. Hence, sometimes people with very good thoughts end up being failures for the simple reason they are not able to value their own thoughts.
I think people who can assess the value of their thoughts more correctly can succeed more than those who have adopted and applied dynamic thoughts or actions of others. We must take a distant view and look at our thoughts. We must learn to value our own thoughts. Sometimes even those thoughts, which may seem ordinary to us in reality bear a great value.
Its so important that whatever we think or feel is first valued by us and then the world shall surely value it.
Many of us feel that others thoughts are always better. Here we commit a major mistake. As individuals we often fail in perception, appreciation and valuation of self.
We must realize the length of the thoughts that lie recumbent in our mind and erect them tall. We must recognize the real richness of this home food, which can be, far above the hotel made food of ready-made thoughts. Many of us don’t realize that sometimes our thoughts are beyond price unless other people are appreciative of it. Unless others reckon they are different, and while we are still not able to fix the their ‘MRP’, others succeed adopting them.
The base of any grand success right from a hit movie from a film director to a popular story from a scribe has always been the perfection in understanding the value of individual thoughts, concepts and ideas and the emerging product testifies this perfection.
All of us have the personal wealth of ‘individual thoughts’. People like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela who have led successful mass movements have first realized the value of their simple thoughts and made a successful application to bring about a dynamic revolution.
Before we march ahead on the success road, we must learn to value our thoughts and be our own appraisers. Let us value our thoughts first, they may seem simple but end up being simply excellent!!
