You Are What You Think

President Abraham Lincoln said,"All that you are is a
result of what you have thought."

The scope of your thought patterns affect you and the
world around you.
The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius reminds us,
" Our lives is what our thoughts make it."

Most of us give very little thought to the thoughts,
opinions, beliefs, and convictions that we have.
Many of us have developed what I call 'preexisting
perspectives ' seeing the world through the eyes of
what we've previously created instead of coming
to each new situation with an open mind and heart.

It's almost as if we're saying, Don't confuse me with
the facts my mind is already made up.

Many times we create labels which we then project
our beliefs about which locks us up into our own
mental prison. An example of this was this past
election where you had people with fixed views about a
candidate and no matter what that candidate did he was
seen through those colored glasses.

In the past there have been ideas that were accepted to
be truth that were actually false such as the world is flat,
everything in the solar system revolves around the earth,
and vitamin C can't heal and prevent scurvy.

It is important that we keep our minds open and flexible
as we take in information and not be to fast to judge.
We also would do well to listen to others beliefs with
a calm open mind even if we disagree.
Patricia Claire McKillip wrote, "What is love but to have
an open mind to the opinions of others."

Our thinking creates our life or as Ralph Waldo Emerson
states," Life consists in what a man is thinking all day."
We can change the world with a thought! We can bring peace
and hope with a belief!  We can bring the world together with
an idea!  Since our thinking is our life let's open our minds to
the possibility that could be!
