This picture is from Journey to Wild Divine, a biofeedback game of adventure I play on my computer.I realized a long time ago that life is pretty much what we choose to make of it. We don't always have control of what is happening, but we always have a choice in how we think about it. When it finally occurred to me that I am free to think what I want to think, I was amazed. I was so relieved and delighted to realize I didn't have to view the world the way my family thought or society directed. I am on my own in my own thoughts. What a Eureka moment.
The following quote says it pretty well.
ATTITUDES
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or wreck a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the inevitable, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our ATTITUDES"
