A Facebook friend posted a quote from Buddha that I appreciate very much and that I'd like to briefly comment. Here is the quote: "Be careful with your mind. Be vigilant; guard your mid against negative thoughts." How important is this? Extremely important. It's actually the the most important thing ever! What many thinkers and philosophers agree upon is that You are what you think you are. You have created an image of yourself that you have accepted as true, so you continue behaving in a certain way because you keep thinking the same things over and over. But, if you want to go a little deeper into this matter, you realize that actually YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK, period. What does this mean? It means that it's your thoughts that literally create what and who you are. You are "not" the way you think you are, and that's it. Your thoughts are the building blocks of your personality and, consequently, of your life. Negative thoughts = most certainly a negative kind of life. Positive thoughts = a better way of facing life's challenges and, consequently, a more positive attitude with a more serene kind of life. Does this make sense to you?
