1. “There is nothing either good or bad, thinking makes it so”
William Shakespeare
2. “ There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking.”
William James
I found these quotes in the book “Seeing More Colors: A Guide to a Richer Life” by Michael S. Lewis M.D. They both speak to the capacity of our minds in shaping our reality.
Do you pay attention to your thoughts? I notice that I tell myself to wait for something to happen or something to pass before I do what I want to do. Each time I obey my mind, time passes and nothing gets accomplished. If I ignore my mind, I have amazing experiences.
How does your mind’s voice affect your decision making?
PS: This was first conceived on August 5th. Since then, I had three rounds of Covid back to back, which then turned into pneumonia. I guess that’s what happens if your immune system has been deliberately killed so that a cancer treatment can work (which it didn’t.) But, the good news is that the next treatment did work and I think I beat this menace.
