Thoughts

The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (A.D. 121-180)


So true. It is not what happens, it is our thoughts about what is happening that shape our experience. A perfect example is the weather. It may be raining. The rain is just what is... it is the thought that we assign it that will give it meaning. I may be thrilled that it is raining because I have just planted a tree that needs plenty of water. Another person may be distraught because she hadn't planned for rain that day. We can choose our thoughts and therefore set the tone of our lives. Thoughts are important! Choose wisely!
