Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Our lives are the result of our own beliefs, attitudes, conscious and unconscious thoughts, and feelings, not the result of some outside, hidden factors or force. Here's what others have said: " It is not the events but our viewpoint toward events that is the determining factor. We ought to be more concerned about removing wrong thoughts from the mind than removing tumors and abscesses from the body. " - Epictetus (the great Stoic philosopher-over 2000 years ago) " As a man thinketh, so is he. " - The Holy Bible " All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts; it is made up of our thoughts. A man's life is the direct result of his thoughts. " - Buddha " There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. " - Shakespeare (Hamlet) " I think, therefore I am. " - Descartes " A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter toward him. " - (As A Man Thinketh) The first step to empowerment and having what you want from life is to take total responsibility for the way your life is now, at this second. Even though you did not always consciously control your past, the degree to which you take responsibility for your present will determine what you get in the future. Taking responsibility will give you the power to choose how you want your future to be.
