Over two-thousand years ago the Greek philosopher Epictetus said that “People are not disturbed by things, but by the views they take of them”.
The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius said that: “A Man’s life is what his thoughts make of it”.
The Buddha stated: “We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves”.
