To change your life in whichever way you want, you have to change your thinking, your view, your thoughts, your mind – change what you think. You have to change what you see, and the quickest way to do that is also the fastest thing you can do: change what you think.
With hundreds of thousands of thoughts every day, changing your mental pictures isn’t difficult. I always take respite in knowing that the single most sure way to stop any negative feelings is to stop thinking about what is causing those feelings.
- To change what happens on the outside, just change what happens on the inside.
The second tine in the two-pronged attack is the real battle: changing our actions to reflect our thinking.
If I am feeling lonely (everyone is) and I start thinking about hanging out with friends, the change in thought and feelings are only temporary. I have to then perform praxis. I have to do the action which is the result.
Praxis is about boldness and boldness is the willingness to initiate action without guarantee of results. And you can’t be bold until you come to terms mentally.
