I was asked once on a radio program to tell in 3 sentences the most important listen I ever learned. That was easy. " most important lesson I learnt"  I said " is the stupendous importance of what we think.  I know what you think. I would know what you are, for your thoughts make you what you are,  by changing our thoughts , we can change our lives."

       I now know with the conviction beyond old out that the biggest problem you  and I have to Deal with- in fact, almost only problem we have to deal with- is choosing the right thoughts. If we can do that, we will be on the high road to solving all our problems. The great philosopher who ruled the Roman empire,  Marcus Aurelius, summed it up in 8 words, 8 words that can determine your destiny:" Our life is what our thoughts make it."

        Yes, if we will be Thinking happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we will be thinking miserable thoughts then we will be miserable. If you think care thought ,we will be fearful. If we think sickly thoughts, we probably will be ill. If we will think failure we will certainly fail. If we wallow in self pity, everyone will want to shun us and avoid us.

       Am I advocating a Pollyanna Attitude towards all our problems? No, unfortunately, life isn't that simple. But I am advocating- in the strongest of terms- that we assume a positive attitude instead of a negative one.
