Positive Change

What you think about an event is more important than the event itself.
Better still, while you cannot control the events in your life, you can take charge of your thinking.


Positive thinking and acting is never about ''you'' only.
It profoundly affects the people you directly influence , and changes the world around you. Human beings are the only species on Earth whose inner lives are so powerful that what we think about a situation, how we describe it to ourselves, what meaning we attribute to it or draw from it, matters more than the event itself. And who is doing the thinking, describing and attributing of meaning? You are.

When you look for the best in other people, you create positive change.
When you uphold peace in any small way, you create positive change.
When you stand up for social justice, you create positive change.
When you see your desire for happiness reflected in other people's lives and act more compassionately, you create positive change.
When you look at the world from other people's perspectives, you create positive change.
When you take care of the physical environment, you create positive change.
When you give up a little tension and gain a little humor, you create positive change.
When you refuse to be hurried, you create positive change.
When you give thanks for the gift of existence, you create positive change.
