(Below from the book, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson)

Your own thoughts are one of the most powerful examples of the slight edge there is.
Your thoughts multiply themselves by the power of compounding interest and, like a mental water hyacinth, over time (often a lot less time than you might expect) they come to cover the pond of your mind.

This is true of positive thoughts. And just as true of negative thoughts.
As we saw earlier, it’s not even a matter of “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.”
Forget wishing – it’s a matter of what you think, period.
Because what you think, multiplied by action plus time, will create what you get.
You, through the power of your own thoughts, are the most influential person in your life.
Which means there is nobody more effective at undermining your success – and nobody more effective at supporting your success.

The purpose of investing in yourself is not to accumulate skills or fluency in specific areas of knowledge.
While those things are valuable, they are not the principal aim.
The principal aim in self-investment is to train how you think and what you think.
