Quite often, your thoughts determine your emotions or how you feel.

More importantly, you determine how you feel by how you think or what you think about.

You often feel the way you think as you process the events of your life.

Your thoughts and emotions are the results of this processing of events.

Conversely, how you think and how you feel can determine how you process the events of your life.

How you think about something that can easily determine how you feel.

"It's raining" can make you feel good or bad depending upon whether you see the rain as a positive or negative event.

Thought is the ancestor of every life experience.

The positive or negative aspect of any experience is grounded in what we think about the experience.

A wonderful experience for one person could easily be a terrible experience for someone else based upon what each person thinks about the event.

The thought we have toward an event that will determine our experience.

What is most important in this matter is we can control what and how we think.

We can choose our thinking processes.

We can mold and shape our viewpoints, opinions, and beliefs.
