I notice ‘Stop And Think’ is a common thread in self-help literature.
On the other hand, maybe I notice it because I am predisposed to finding it?
I notice an array of Stop And Think recommendations:
- Stop And Think before you act…an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
- Stop And Think before you react…social skills and conflict resolution education
- Stop And Think and Grow Rich1…“what Man can conceive and believe Man can achieve”
One piece of Stop And Think advice really catches my attention:
Stop And Think about how you feel
That is the most powerful piece of Stop And Think advice.
It is most powerful because, with practice, it can be done very quickly, it can yield immediate rewards, and it can solidify long-term success.

"Walker says, "Mind in itself is believed to be a subtle form of static energy, from which arise the activities called 'thought', which is the dynamic phase of mind. Mind is static energy, thought is dynamic energy - the two phases of the same thing." Thought is therefore the vibratory force formed by converting static mind into dynamic mind." Charles F. Haanel 'The Master Key - In Twenty-Four Parts', (1912)

"Thought can be cultivated only by exercise of Will, and in three ways: by forced efforts, which require Will; by reading, which requires intelligent comprehension, and by observation, which requires attention." Frank C. Haddock 'Power of Will', (1907)
