Nothing has meaning except the meaning we give it

Everyone perceives and makes sense of their world according to their own unique systems of thinking and believing. 

This determines whether you are happy and satisfied.  Accepting this idea means that no matter what happens, how you interpret an event is entirely up to you.

Some people feel huge amounts of pain around a particular area of their lives, yet the same thing happening to them one year ago would not have caused the same level of intense feelings.  It is never the events that shape our lives; it is the meaning that we assign to those events.

How does the meaning you attribute to things shape your life? 

Does is create success or hold you back?

What if you could be flexible in your view of what meaning you were giving an event? 

How would it change the outcomes and opportunities available to you?
