"What we think, we become,"
-Buddha I absolutely LOVE this quote! What it is saying is that whatever you let fill your brain is what you become. You are your thoughts. I repeat YOU ARE YOUR THOUGHTS. You achieve what you say you can achieve. You work as hard as your brain says you can. You are in complete control over the present. What you are doing right now will only effect your future. I know that probably sounds over whelming, but I want you to take a deep breath and really think about Buddha's quote. The words "what we think, we become," are so powerful in a sense of their simplicity and essence. It is important to apply this quote to your life because you need to come in realization with your self. I want you to examine your thoughts and find out if they are hampering you from being the person you want (and will) become. If you are like me, than your thoughts will be getting in the way of being the person you are set out to be. My personal problem is that I am very impatient and want things to happen right now. If something doesn't happen immediately, than I flip out and lose track of what my dreams were. I almost give up. I start to pity myself and have thoughts such as "nothing ever goes my way," or "I am the most unlucky person in the world." - but GUYS WHAT ARE THESE THOUGHTS GOING TO DO? Are they going to make your life magically better? Will they make your dreams come true? What I have learned in life, is that nothing happens with out a reason. If you are meant to do something you will do it. It is crucial not to give up when you feel like nothing is going your way. The action of not giving up is what determines if a person is dedicated or not. You cannot achieve success without failure. This is the mindset I have set in my brain. I am going to focus my thoughts around not giving up and persevere through failure. I AM GOING TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!!! My thoughts are what are going to enable me to achieve my destiny. Now, enough about me. I want to know what mindset YOU are going to set in your brain to help make your dreams a reality. In order to find that mindset, you are going to have to ask yourself a few questions...
Now, I want you to come up with a few phrases that you are going to repeat to yourself. They are going to be the person you will become. The four questions I just asked you, are going to be the basis to these phrases. Examples of them are "I will become [answer to #1]," "I will [answer to #2]," "I love my [answer to #3]," and "I am going to kick [answer to #4] in the butt." Once you start to fill your mind with those phrases/thoughts you will become the person you have always wanted to become. Isn't it funny how much of a role your brain plays in your everyday life? Exercise your brain by challenging it to have these positive thoughts. Just like anything else, it takes practice to have a this mind set. You are going to become what you want if you practice this exercise everyday. To conclude I am going to ask you to ingrain Buddha's quote in your mind, and DO NOT forget it. What you think is what you are...

I have always loved this quote! Our mind is a powerful vessel. The Bible says to take captive every thought...this is taped on the inside of my Bible. You can do anything you believe you can do. Keep writing and exploring Avery! God has great things planned for you:)
