Your Life Is What Your Thoughts Make It
Who decides whether you will be happy or unhappy? The answer - you do!
Life is what your thoughts make it. Our world is not made just of the circumstances that surround us. It is determined by the kind of thoughts we think. I recall that Abraham Lincoln said that people were just about as happy as they made up their minds to be.
"You are not what you think you are, but what you think, you are." Norman Vincent Peale
"A man is what he thinks about all day." Emerson
What you think, what you have been thinking over a long period of time and what you continue to think about will determine what you are and what kind of world you will live in.
Change your thoughts and change your world. Change your thinking, change your life. Change your thoughts correctly and you will discover inner peace, happiness and personal power.
