William James said, "The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."
It means that you manifest your own thoughts, your mind, and your actions. We ARE who we make ourselves to be. We can be either the master of our thoughts and life, or the victim of them. It’s all on how we hold ourselves up. You can be going through the crappiest of things, but walk around with a smile on your face. On the other hand, you can let those things defeat you. It’s all in our minds.
The ability to change yourself is a sign of strength and leadership, not the opposite. Change is never a bad thing, we just string our minds to think that change ruins our paths when it really, usually, is meant to make our paths better. Like I mentioned before, all our choices are in our minds. We change every day, but we make only a handful of extreme changes in our life. The choice to step up and be a leader can be one of those.
When I read this quote, I thought of the song Revolution by the Beatles. Then I thought about something I had written, called “Changes”. I am quite fond of this quotation by William James. I believe it perfectly describes how we should live and see things around us. It shows how we ARE who we want to be, we CAN do what we want to do. It’s just all in our minds.
