Mind Distortions

Thought for my day: Am I responding to the reality of any given situation – or am I reacting to my thoughts about how this situation could or should be different? Am I referencing my unpredictable memory of the past (yet feeling secure in its varying distortions)? Am I worrying about what lies ahead in the future (and feeling my insecure predictions)? Or am I engaged with whatever is alive and being presented to me in this very moment through my 5 senses?

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore, guard accordingly.”
Marcus Aurelius
