The way we perceive our problems, and the importance we give to them, determines how we will deal with them. Why? Because the world is a reflection of our mind. To quote Napoleon Hill, Life reflects your own thoughts back to you." We can see a world full of problems, or we can see a world filled with challenges with the realization we have the capacity to overcome them. We can let our problems depress us, or we can accept life's challenges and deal with them as they occur. A good quote reminding us of this is from Aristotle: Happiness depends upon ourselves." We have the ability to determine our happiness hour by hour and day by day, through our thoughts and actions. Marcus A. Antoninus said it well when he said, The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. We make that choice every morning when we get out of bed. We can choose to look forward to the day, or we can choose to moan and complain. Your attitude towards life will determine your success and happiness in life. It's your choice! To quote Jack Brown, "Happiness is not the absence of problems; but the ability to deal with them." |
