You're enjoying your coffee, watching people walk by. Suddenly a song comes on that reminds you of your ex. You think about the good times. Before you know it, your eyes are watery and you have a tight heavy feeling in your chest. Then someone bumps your table and you see the people walking outside again. The sun shining.
This is how thoughts create our reality.
We are helpless witnesses of the world, including the world in our mind. Things happen. Thoughts appear like random songs in a coffee shop. Wherever our focus goes is what our reality is.
Focus can be trained. What are you focusing on today?
