Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Because thoughts come from the inside, and not from the outside, what we think determines what we see.
— Jane Nelsen
It’s difficult to remember that we are in charge of our thoughts and thus what we experience. But it’s also exciting to contemplate all the changes we can make by focusing on positive thoughts.
Perhaps we can try this together. Put this book aside for a moment and look closely at your surroundings. Think about how lucky you are to have a place to sit, a peaceful moment to contemplate your life. Think grateful thoughts about your friends and family. Notice how you feel when you have pleasant thoughts running through your mind.
Our lives are as fruitful, hopeful, and peaceful as we choose. The show that goes on in our minds and is acted out in our experiences has been produced and directed by us.
I am eager to experience my life today. Knowing that it will match my thoughts is exhilarating.
Hazelden Foundation
