Most of what we experience in our lives is a result of our habitual thoughts. Focusing on something increases it in our lives in one way or another.

Our emotions are formed out of our thoughts. Thinking about what could go wrong will make us feel worried whether or not anything unfortunate ever takes place. Dwelling on unhappy events in the present or past make them appear closer and more important and habitual thoughts like these can make us depressed. Looking only at our mistakes can make us dislike ourselves and lack confidence, while looking at our successes and talents can make us feel happy and more confident. Habitually thinking enjoyable thoughts of things to look forward to and good things that have happened will lead us to happiness.

It is not what has occurred to us that makes our experiences, but rather it is how we choose to interpret those events and where we place most of the emphasis.

Everything that we do begins with thought. Henry Ford said, "Whether you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right." Our success in life is built largely on whether or not we expect we will have the abilities we need to accomplish our desires. Even who we are: talented, kind, courageous, etc., or late, selfish, unreliable... is formed by the way we define ourselves in our thoughts and our expectations for our behavior.

The luck we find in our lives springs from our thoughts. If we expect bad things, we will notice bad things. If we expect good things, we will find opportunities and good luck.

Our moods, our habits, our behavior towards others, our expectations and actions – all these things create our daily experiences and form our destiny. This is why it is so important to train our thoughts on to the positive.

One of the primary complaints I hear from my coaching clients is that they are unhappy in their professions. Too often, after further exploration of the source of this unhappiness, it is revealed that these individuals did not pursue their current career paths by their own conscious choice but rather to appease their parents.
