"Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him"

This quote by James Allen is a reminder that our ideas have a powerful influence on our lives. Our ideas form our truth and how we view the world around us. If we think favorably and focus on the excellent in people and circumstances, we will find that our lives will become more positive and that people and situations will react to us in kind. On the other hand, if we think negatively and focus on the bad in individuals and circumstances, we will discover that our lives will become more negative and that individuals and scenarios will respond to us in kind. For that reason, it is very important to be conscious of our ideas and to concentrate on the favorable in order to create a positive life.
