Its all in your mind.
Monday, April 6th, 2009“Your life is what you think of it.”
This quote cannot be further from the truth. Whatever your situation now, wherever you are, how old you are or whatever your status in life or in society is, the fact still remain: you are only as happy and contented with what you think.
So many times we have heard of celebrities and famous or rich people getting into depression. The average human can only wonder: if I have so much power and money, won’t life’s problems be easily solved?
Well, sadly that is not the case….
Worry is not caused by externalities in our life. It is only created, imagined, and toyed around all in our mind.
Think about the last time you felt anxiety and worried. Did it neccessarily involve the lack of money? Perhaps while you were walking down the street and some people stared at you: you felt worried it may be something wrong with your look. Or what about the financial crisis all over the papers, and talks of retrenchment arising? Did it cause you to worry?
Talks of retrenchment did not cause worry for you. Neither did the person staring at you while you were walking down the street. YOU caused your worrying thoughts.
I’ll go more in-depth on the thoughts we have in another post…meanwhile,
Think happy thoughts and you’ll be happy.
Try it!
