"The greatest discovery of my generation
is that human beings can alter their lives
by altering their attitudes of mind."
William James - Harvard Psychologist
I totally agree with the above statement. I have studied the works of many of philosophers
and teachers of self-actualization, as well as people who I think are the most knowledgeable and who make the most
sense in the field of personal growth. Based on what I have learned and then applying the knowledge, I believe
that a person's feelings do come from their mental process along with their body chemistry. The way a person thinks
impacts their feelings. Often people blame their feelings on someone else, i.e. "they made me mad." This
may appear, at first, to be an easy way out by blaming your feelings on someone else, but over the long term it
is a very hard life to live. Look at it this way: If there were someone who could make you sad, it would stand
to reason that there would be someone to make you happy. In reality, no one else can make you sad or happy. Your
happiness and your sadness come from your own mental process. If you keep on thinking what you've always thought,
you'll just keep on getting what you've always got. So, if you want to change your life, change your way of thinking.
If you had to rely on someone else to create your happiness, you would be a dependent and they would be your co-dependent.
I know there is a better way of life. It's called being INDEPENDENT.
