“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” This quote from Hamlet states a perennial truth that we would all do well to remember. It’s only when we understand how completely our personal interpretation and reaction creates our experience of what we encounter that we can have true power and agency. The way any situation “makes” us feel is due almost entirely to how we process the data and place value judgements on what we see. Recognizing this fact gives us a tremendous capacity to create the kind of life experience…
We want.
