“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” Buddha
We’re halfway through 2009. I remember starting the year with a fear; a fear that this year might not be as good as last year. Indeed, I could not have a worst start than this. I could hardly point to a thing that I do since the start of the year, and say “This is good, I’m happy and satisfied”. I have taken so many wrong routes, and made lots of wrong choices. I can only hope that I have not done some irreversible damages. The first half of the year have been exceptionally difficult for me.
Then I realised today, that this so called “unlucky streak” could be the result of my negative thinking. My fears, all of them have become realities, because I have conditioned them to be in that way through my thoughts.
I started last year with so much zest and enthusiasm, nothing but a positive outlook towards life; and everything turned out well.
We are what we think we are, and we are who we think we are.
So, this is my new-half year resolution; that I shall have nothing but positive thoughts!
