What is life ?

Life is attitude We create our reality through our perceptions and our way of being. I found a text which reflects perfectly what I believe about that. This is really what I experiment every day. "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes." - Charles Swindoll - Life is a mirror Yes your entire life is a mirror of what is going on in your counsciousness. It is a reflection of yourself. Each person, each event may be considered as a tool which can help you to know yourself better and better. If you had a mirror which could perfectly reflect all that was inside of you, what would you see? Would you see a beautiful, magnificent world in the mirror, or would things look pretty much the same as they do right now? To a large degree, the world around you is a mirror of that which is within you. You see what you look for. People treat you as you expect to be treated. The things you experience come from the actions you take. Think of the world as a mirror of you, and consider whether or not you like what you see. More importantly, realize that you have the power to change it. Your world is a part of you. It is an expression of you. With your thoughts and actions, you can make it what you want it to be. A Creed To Live By Don't undermine your worth By comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different That each of us is special. Don't set goals by what other people deem important, Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things Closest to your heart, Cling to them as you would your life, For without them life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers By living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, You live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over Until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread That binds us to each other. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances That we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life By saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love, The fastest way to lose love Is to hold it too tightly, And the best way to keep love Is to give it wings. Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose. Don't run through life so fast That you forget not only where you have been, But also where you are going. Life is not a race But a journey to be savored Each step of the way...
