It’s widely recognized that thoughts influence your reality at least a little, but to what degree is debatable. Opinions range from complete to marginal influence.
Those who believe themselves to be absolute captains of their destiny eventually learn there’s a lot in life you can’t control.
“Either you deal with what is the reality, or you can be sure that the reality is going to deal with you.” Alex Haley
Thoughts may be things, but they can’t make someone fall in love with you, control your supervisor’s behavior, eliminate your financial debt while spending imprudently, or make a tyrant play nice with the rest of the world.
Yet a sense of optimism and your overall outlook in life goes a long way in goal attainment and how you cope with personal fate.
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” Winston Churchill
Thoughts are the basis of your attitude, and your attitude determines your quality of life, within the framework of your predestination.
