What you think, you become, what you feel, you attract, and what you imagine, you create.
Gautama Buddha (563/480 BCE)
“I was recently reminded of this quote from my Insight Timer Meditation app. Now it is my favorite quote and speaks to me for so many reasons. It focuses me on the power that thinking has in our lives, both for good and for bad. So, if I’m struggling with something, thinking about it negatively again, and again, I’m reinforcing that negative and lived experience in myself. And yet, if I can catch those thoughts and reframe them or focus on something that is very empowering and meaningful to me, then I can start to embody and enliven that part of myself. So that’s the quote that’s most meaningful to me right now.”
