We aren’t born with pre set thoughts.
Our thoughts are something that we experience
And our thoughts are skewed as we grow up based on what we learn – mainly from others.
What’s acceptable, punishments, rewards, how we act, talk feel
And that’s the issue.
Because nothing has meaning except the meaning we give it…
So small problems – to some people – are big problems
While big problems – to others – are small problems
The difference is that these people are giving different meanings to the problems.
One may think that problems always get solved,
The other despises problems because it’s in the unknown…
And if nothing has meaning except the meaning that we give it..
What about our own thoughts about ourselves?
Are they empowering or disempowering?
Positive or negative?
Do we have a belief in our abilities or not?
Faith or no?
And there are so many other thoughts we could go on and on..
The point is:
We make up our thoughts about ourselves. Only us. We decide, with our perspective.
Whether we think we can or we can’t, we’re right.
Because we’ll live into the story that we tell ourselves.
