Psychologists have verified what ancient thinkers knew–you become what you think about. Your mind will believe just about anything you tell it. If you associate a thought with a strong emotion, it becomes an opinion.
The “will” is the power to choose within us. And our spirit gives us power in the choice.
I’m thinking about this, because (unless you have severe emotional problems that you cannot understand yourself) you can think yourself out of your moods.
One good spiritual discipline is that no matter what the situation you choose your response. You choose how you feel about it. You can feel like a victim or you can feel acceptance and gratitude.
The most important practice is to choose how you’ll greet the day ahead.
