Do you ever wonder how important your thoughts are? Napoleon Hill launched his iconic book Think and Grow Rich in Chapter 1 by stating Thoughts Are Things. Everything that exists started with a thought. Both good things and bad things. Let’s explore how to change your thoughts to change your life.
Any Product Or Service Begins With A Thought
Look around you. You may be sitting on a chair. Looking at a computer screen set on your desk. Writing an article, Drinking a cup of coffee. Let’s look at each of the following items:
- Chair
- Computer
- Desk
- Coffee mug
- Coffee
Do you realize that each of these items originated as a thought from one individual? Apart from the coffee, they all needed to be designed. Some items like the chair, desk, and coffee mug could all be designed by one person.
Vision And The Team
But the computer was most likely designed by a team. Even in this situation, there had to be a team or project leader. Like the architect for a building, the overall vision would be conceived by that person. Who had to think about it. For that vision to become a reality, they would have to share it with their team. To make that vision a reality they would beet to collaborate with the specialists in their team.
Make no mistake. It all starts with a THOUGHT. That thought can also be described as a VISION.
What about the coffee? In essence, the coffee goes back in history to someone who discovered the coffee bean and thought about grinding it and brewing a drink, because they liked the flavor From that original act, a whole culture of coffee drinkers, cafes and coffee making equipment was born. And for each of these, there was one individual who conceptualized the item that became commonplace.
Making Money
Would you say that the thoughts of these individuals resulted in things of value? And that these things were sold or utilized to make money?
Not only for the one who had the original thought but for others who participated in the conversion of that thought to a thing, and the utilization of that thing?
Napoleon Hill discovered that the business tycoons he interviewed had the ability to turn thoughts into things in a big way.

Hi Edwin
I’m a true believer of everything you want to achieve begins with a thought, as you well describe on your article. No matter what you want to have in life, it starts with a simple thought..
I’ve been working on changing the way of thinking and produce in my mind the thoughts I only want to have there, it’s working and today I have a life I like.
The next step is to think about what type of business I want to have and I want to start working from home.
