Do you really think that We become what we think?

Question

For example, if a child wanted to be a doctor or singer (any occupation) or even as far as someone repetitively thinking they are not attractive...etc.

Any thoughts and opinions?

Answer 1

Only if one gives that thought all the necessary effort so it would really come true.  Sometimes, even then is not enough as luck good or bad might have a say in the final outcome.

Answer 2

studies have proven that the human mind can persuade itself to chang things about your thought process your mannerisms or even your physical well being, now can looking in a mirror and telling yourself everyday that you are a doctor make you a doctor no but if you look in the mirror everyday and tell yourself that you can do the things neccessary to become a doctor then it is very likely that you can attain to do these things and become a doctor.

Answer 3

Yes. BUT thats a wrong way of thinking.  if he wants to be a doctor than he needs to think what a doctor will do in his life,,, like do homework, get nice grades, learn biology.   the whole idea is THINK and DO

Answer 4

There is a TA story, where a father tells his 3 sons over and over "You'll end up in court!"

One became a policeman one a solicitor and one a thief.

I have always thought of the idea that we become what we think as a caution - Be careful what thoughts you have you might get stuck that way out!

Yes I do think thoughts have more power than just the electrical impulses they consist of.

You do hear people saying - I always wanted to be a nurse so it obviously happens, but then a lot of little boys want to be trian drivers and presumably grow out of it when they find out the pay and conditions..

I see it like Emile Le-Coue as a self-hypnosis.
