Thoughts Are Real Things

Try this: Think back to one of the worst things that ever happened to you. Remember how it happened, how it felt. Got it?

Now, think back to one of the best things that ever happened to you. Relive it. Enjoy it. Roll it over in your mind. Okay?

Now, which one felt best? And who was it that made you feel that way?

Right! You did! There's nobody but you inside the control room of your mind, pushing buttons, twisting knobs, making you feel bad -- or any other way.

Why persist, then, in pursuing bad thoughts when the same amount of energy can convert them to good-feeling thoughts?

Think about it.
