What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday,

and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow:

Our life is the creation of our mind.

~The Buddha

The Buddha taught that the cause of suffering is a non-stabilized mind.

Therefore if we stabilize and strengthen the mind and our habits of thinking, we will experience more joy and optimism.

People who have more positive beliefs and habits of thinking tend to reach their goals quicker and easier.
