“By far the most vital lesson I have ever learned is the importance of what we think. If I knew what you think, i would know what you are. Our thoughts make us what we are.”- Dale Carnegie

Our thoughts are powerful. They can change our lives. They can make or break us. But you can change your thoughts whenever you want. Your thoughts are under your control. If you can control your thoughts, you can control your life. And you can change your thoughts with practice. No matter what is happening in your life, the best medicine to heal your heart is positive thought. When you are going through things, use the power of positive thoughts to change the situation.

“The mind whose doors are guarded by good shuts out unhappiness…”- James Allen

Negative thoughts will not remain. They will go away. If you want to change your life, positive thoughts will transform you into a positive person. According to James Allen, “There is no greater happiness than to be occupied with good, whether it be good thoughts, good actions, or good employment; for every good thing is fraught with bliss, and evil cannot enter the heart or house that is tenanted by all that is good.” A happy life starts with a positive mind. Evil or negative thoughts cannot enter a positive heart.

“Our thoughts make us who we are.”- Dale Carnegie

If you want to be happier in your life, you must guard your heart. As James Allen once said, “Unhappiness can only enter through unguarded doors…”

Every Moment Is Different

“Every moment is different.” That is why you should never ignore your present moment. Wherever you are, be there. Whatever you are doing, do it well. It is important to love your life. Life is too short to waste. Love your life. You deserve love. Be grateful for what you have. Don’t focus your attention on what is bad. Instead of doing that, why not focus your attention on what you are doing right. When you focus on your life, you can change yourself. You can work on yourself. You can get rid of what is making you unhappy.

If you want to enjoy your precious life, you’ve got to love your life. You must pay attention to what you are doing. I am not saying you should do meditation. But if you can do it to relax yourself, why not? But if you can’t, don’t worry yourself about it. You will be fine. You don’t need a meditation studio to calm your life, to be present.

If you want to enjoy people, pay attention to them. When you are with people, when you are with a friend, when you are with your partner, when you are with a teacher, when you are doing your meditation, when you are reading a great book, when you are watching a TV, you must be there. You must be present. The best thing you can do for yourself is to pay attention to your soul. Don’t ignore your feelings. Don’t ignore the talk you are having with yourself. Try to learn something from it. Everything is important. Nothing is useless. Everything is different. Every moment is different. According to Natalie Goldberg, “Every moment is different. Different things works. One isn’t wrong and the other right.” She is right. Every day is not going to be fun. You are not going to be happy every day. You are not going to meet good people every day. It is not going to happen like that. Things are different. People are different. But we are all looking for the same thing: Love.

Since everything is different, since people are different, since every moment is different, don’t play with yourself. You must celebrate yourself. Don’t wait for people to make your life for you. They are not going to make it for you. All you have to do to change your life is to pay attention to your life. Because every moment is different.
