All changes in your outer world are a direct result of the thoughts you have about yourself. Your outer environment is simply a filter reflecting what you think. The thought you choose to focus on is what will create your reality. If you want to experience a positive life, change your thinking. Life will become easier. You must learn to control your thinking and take responsibility for the way your world is created.
Life is a filter reflecting your innermost thoughts
Anthony de Mello said, "Life is a mirror reflecting your innermost thoughts. Your thoughts create your reality, and your life reflects these thoughts back to you." Often, we believe that our problems are the result of conditions outside ourselves, and try to change those conditions. However, change rarely works because our thoughts haven't aligned with reality. When we think negatively, we bring our experiences into our reality.
You create your reality
Most people think that their thoughts and feelings are a result of their circumstances. In reality, however, you create your reality from the inside out. Whatever you think and believe about yourself will manifest in your physical world. If you hold a strong thought long enough, it will eventually create its counterpart in the outer world. By learning to consciously direct your thoughts, you can start creating the life you want. But how do you start? First, you must identify yourself with the Universal Mind.
You are the thinker of your thoughts
"You are the thinker of your thoughts" is a phrase I have used many times. A thought is nothing more than a single idea that appears in our mind. We perceive these thoughts as "you" and we are clinging onto them to form a chain of thoughts. The fact that 'you' is not attached to our thoughts and its content does not give us any power over them. This is a profound understanding that can lead to an awe-inspiring level of understanding.
You can change your inner world
There are many ways to improve your mental health and wellbeing. One of the most powerful methods is to change the way you think. Think of your inner world as a reflection of the real world. When your inner world is full of conflict, fear, or dissatisfaction, you will likely manifest this in the outside world. However, it's important to remember that not all issues in your inner world will manifest in the same way. For example, if you lack self-respect, it will probably manifest in the form of relationships with people who do not respect you.
