Good and Bad, it's all the same.  Of all the philosophies, axioms and pearls of wisdom I've amassed over the years, one comes up more than any other. It's the Taoist lesson of the relative nature of good and bad. It's efficiently illustrated by the 2,000-year-old story of the good (and bad) fortune that follows a farmer's loss of his horse. We use the good-or-bad dichotomy to categorize nearly everything in our lives -- events, people, food, decisions, even world history. But the lesson of the story is that there is actually no such thing as good or bad. It's a false distinction and a trap that only causes psychic pain. Good things are constantly being born out of the seemingly bad, and vice versa. Often, it seems, it's just a matter of time until an event or decision from one category leads directly to one in the other.

This Is How Your Thoughts Become Your Reality Your mind is very powerful. Yet, if you're like most people, you probably spend very little time reflecting on the way you think. After all,  who thinks about thinking ? But, the way you think about yourself turns into your reality.  If you draw inaccurate conclusions about who you are and what you’re capable of doing, you’ll limit your potential. The Link Between Thoughts, Feelings And Behavior Your thoughts are a catalyst for self-perpetuating cycles. What you think directly influences how you feel and how you behave. So if you think you’re a failure, you’ll feel like a failure. Then, you’ll act like a failure, which reinforces your belief that you  must be  a failure. I see this happen all the time in my therapy office.
