I firmly believe that we ARE our thoughts and that we create our own personal reality with our thoughts. The thoughts we think result in stressful painful emotions or pain-free joyous peaceful emotions.

It's all about perception. How we perceive our reality . The  good news is , that we can change how we feel by examining , exploring and changing our thoughts. Perhaps not straight away as thoughts come so quickly that we are not aware of most of them, but by catching stressfull thoughts by the tail, writing them down in black and white where they cannot escape and taking a good look at them.

Today I read the same message from two different sources.


 Illusion

It’s all smoke and mirrors. The pain and chaos isn’t real. We do the damage to ourselves.

Question 2: Why do you give energy to something that’s not real?

The doubt, the reactive energy, the acceptance of defeat - why are you feeding it? It’s not even real!

Question 3: If you understand that it’s not real, why don’t you let it go?

Answer that one for yourself today.

 All suffering is in the mind. It has nothing to do with the body
or with a person’s circumstances. You can be in great pain without
any suffering at all.

To be in pain and believe that you shouldn’t be in pain—that’s
hell.

To question your stressful thoughts, to be a lover of what is, even in pain—that’s heaven.

Pain is actually a friend. It’s nothing I want to get rid of, if I can’t. It’s a sweet visitor; it can stay as long as it wants to. (And that doesn’t mean I won’t take a Tylenol.)

And, even pain is projected: it’s always on its way out. When you understand this, life becomes more peaceful.
