Thinking Out Loud: We Are the Creators of Our Personal Universe

“Most people see the world as a threatening place, and, because they do, the world turns out, indeed, to be a threatening place.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemis

NOTE: How do you see the world? Do you believe the news we read online, watch and listen to in other media outlets is the whole truth? We usually obtain what we are seeking. If we seek to discover the bad, we’ll find it. If we seek to discover the good, we’ll find it. In many ways we are the creators of our personal universe. Our minds act as the gatekeepers. I’ve found being grateful each morning and evening helps me to recognize the wonders in my day, no matter how small. I’ve found that a smile often gets me a smile in return. I’ve found that working with others always gets me further ahead than working against.
