You Are What You Think!!!!

What is the one thing that determines, more than anything else, the quality
of your life?

Some people say, "You are what you eat," but I say, "You are what you
think." Now, this is not really "new" news. This is one of the great
universal truths, handed down over the centuries by poets and philosophers
and by almost every great religious leader the world has ever known.

We move toward and become like that which we think about, and our present
thoughts, more than anything else, determine our future. So it is important
to learn to control your thoughts because if you can do that, you'll be
taking control of your life as well.

And how do you control your thoughts? Well, you learn to monitor yourself by
listening to the stream of inner messages that precede your emotions. Then,
you ask yourself if some of these thoughts are other people's ideas that may
not really be true.

You look for distortions, exaggerations, and other misrepresentations, and
you deliberately correct them - on the spot - to a more realistic viewpoint.
Finally, you choose to put the best possible slant on every situation, every
event, and every occurrence.

I believe that because your present thoughts determine your future, when you
consistently expect the best, you tend to get it!
