If you think you are content, you are right. If you think you can never be content, you are right again. How you think matters more than you think.
Talking about neuroplasticity, scientists assure us that even our neurons listen to our thoughts. Every time you think positively, you reinforce new neural pathways in your brain. Vice versa, negative thoughts too create certain patterns in our body compelling our brain to think and react in the same manner.
Dennis Waitley, a motivational speaker would tell his listeners: “The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have or would have done, or what they can’t do.” Circumstances may not always be in our hands; certain situations may elicit negative response much beyond your control.
But when time passes, you can definitely come back to your positive self, counting your blessings, carrying yourself to move on again.
Those who have come out of the worst believed that they can do it. And they were right.
Those who refused to come out of the abyss and drowned, were led to that path by their thoughts. They were right too.
Our thoughts make all the difference.
