Exploring Happiness #7- Thoughts Poem by June Stepansky

Exploring Happiness #7- Thoughts



My thoughts
move me
in a multiplicity
of directions.

I think I shall.
I thought I should.
I won’t. I will.

My thoughts,
the harbingers
of my future,
propel me
somewhere.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Our thoughts and decisions determine our lives. It is empowering to realize that if we are not content with the direction of our lives, we can change that direction by changing our thoughts.
The decision making process is difficult and requires examination because so many outside forces affect those decisions: our families, our communities, the prevailing thinking of the day. All of these put pressure on our ability to make wise decisions.
Because of this, it is important that we understand ourselves well and learn to examine our thinking and our decisions carefully so that they reflect the life that we really want for ourselves.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life.
John Homer Miller

The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
William James
