Amazement

There is sometimes very little difference between someone who considers their lives to be boring, disappointing, frustrating or just plain awful - and someone who sees every day as a wondrous, exhilarating adventure, full of excitement, surprise and joy. So how is it that people who have essentially the same lives see them so completely different? In the answer to this question lies the secret many people look for and never find. And all along it lies right in front of them,all-too-easy to see.

Conscious choice is the ability to take control of the process of the mind - and use it like the tool it was meant to be. If we can choose to be grateful instead of angry, we see wonderful things instead of things to hate, dislike, or other negative emotions. If we can choose to be interested or excited instead of bored and apathetic, we learn the world is truly an amazing place to live.
