First sentence: We begin by examining the nature of reality, especially some new discoveries in the area of science over the last two decades. These have helped us to understand more clearly how it comes that the mind creates its own realities.
Description: Scientists have been asking the same question for many years, "Why are some people meeting life with enthusiasm while others seem to live in a state of constant dissatisfaction and unhappiness." Two people, confronted with identical problems, often react in entirely different ways. One will make the best of the immediate difficult circumstances and the other individual may lapse into a state of misery. One will choose freedom; the other will choose a prison.If you are perpetually miserable, unhappy and bored with life, it's because you choose to feel this way. There may be little you can do at that moment to change your circumstances, but there is a great deal you can do about how you react to the causes of these feelings. As a very realistic friend once said to me, "misery is choice." And someone else said, "It is not what happens to us that defines us, it is what we do with what happens to us that defines who we are." Misery is inside each of us. It is part of our own prison. We can all change the way we feel about things or people or circumstances.
