In most of our situations in life, if we take a good honest look at our lives, we are holding to small, limiting thoughts, cynical thoughts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don't see beyond that.
Our thoughts really do create our lives. They've done a lot of research showing if you're an optimistic, positive person you will be a healthier person than if you're a sad, depressed, negative person.
We have the wrong impression of life. We think the very big incidents of our lives are consequences of huge dilemmas or major decisions. If we paid attention, we'd realize that the determining incidents in our lives are ordinary things.
We all have these tendencies in us that could go this way or that. I think that's the real key in writing. To look at a character without judgment.
I'm very realistic in my outlook on everything in life. When I look ahead in my mind to see what's going to happen next, I see the good and I see the bad.
Often we don't even know what we think ourselves about people in our lives.
A cynical young person is almost the saddest sight to see, because it means that he or she has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.
There is something about the ability to externalize our thoughts and compare them with other people in a public way that is really transformative for the average person.
You must not under any pretense allow your mind to dwell on any thought that is not positive, constructive, optimistic, kind.
I am one of those people that's never been really cynical about life, you know.
