Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s not the events that happen in our lives but our interpretation of them that causes us to feel good or bad.
Thinking, on the other hand, is the judgment or opinion we have about our thoughts. Thinking takes a significant amount of energy, effort, and willpower, which are finite resources. You don’t have to ruminate on each thought that enters your mind, but when you do, that is thinking.
More times than not, the solution to our problems is not the addition of action but the removal of what’s causing those problems in the first place.
What you obtain externally can always be lost, but what you find within yourself can never be taken away.
Our thinking minds will convince us that we must have everything figured out. But buying into this belief will only cause additional stress and suffering. We don’t have to have it all figured out, nor can we.
