THE KEY
"Man is what he believes." Anton Chekhov
Beliefs, though it may take several runs at them, are totally changeable and determinable. Beliefs create all of our emotions. And how we handle all of our emotions is based on beliefs (usually erroneous or inadequate ones). And we can create a foundation of beliefs that will serve us in achieving anything (of importance) that we want.
MANAGING YOUR MIND - NO OTHER CHOICE WORKS
The mind needs systematic training or one's life will be run by the primitive, survival-oriented mind, using fears and unquestioned primitive beliefs.
Happiness is only possible if one persists in and practices
1. Deliberately selecting and focusing on positive mental states and what
contributes to them (positive goals, desires)
2. Challenging all negative thoughts, states, beliefs.
