My reason for writing Changing #MyPerspective was to create a public support group, via social networking outlets, of like minded thinkers who are attempting to achieve a balanced and successful life. My belief is that,by changing the way you view events, people, and circumstances in your life, you will ultimately change your attitude and outlook on life in general. Your attitude towards life and your specific set of circumstances plays a key role in your expected outcomes. Your attitude will determine your approach when it comes to problem solving, dealing with people and coping with difficult and trying times. Your approach, in return, will almost always determine your end results. Understanding how to control your thoughts is a critical aspect to not only being successful but also to having inner peace. Allow your thoughts to create your universe. The difference in being the lion or the lamb for us is a matter of choice.

Latin philosopher Rene Descartes' famous quote, "I think therefore I am," may hold some semblance of truth, however I would actually reverse the statement. "I am therefore I think." Rene's theory was that thinking about one's existence proves, in and of itself, that you exist, however if you were to sit still or even fall asleep without thought would that mean you would no longer exist? Our thoughts are actions. Just like walking or talking, thinking is an action. This action can be developed, strengthened and controlled by our inner being. Focused and productive use of this action is the basis of creation, and the determinant of our life's outcomes.
