The very experience of our life is totally determined by the thoughts we entertain, or consume, or create. If our lives are sad, boring, full of fear and resentment, it is because we have allowed thoughts to occupy our minds, perhaps not even knowing from where they came. HOWEVER, we are always free to choose different thoughts to entertain. If we think life sucks, we will, obviously, be sad and disappointed with everyone and everything. If we decide to think that life is wonderful, fun, exciting, and that people are precious, lovely, beautiful, unique, and the earth is like a lovely garden, full of beauty, with mountains for skiing, rivers for kayaking, streams for fishing and paths for biking and walking, we will have a different life from the one I first mentioned. Actually, we do create our own lives by the thoughts we choose to entertain continually. If life sucks, just choose different thoughts. What did Shakespeare mean when he said “Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so?” That dude was a deep thinker!
