Marcus Aurelius Quotes

Your life is a reflection of how you think

How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.

Life is nothing but a mirror of your consistent thoughts.

The attitude, and the mind, is where it all starts.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.

The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.

What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become.

You are the sum total of your dominating or most prominent thoughts.

Your life is but a reflection of the predominance of your thoughts.

You become what you think about

The key to every man is his thought.

The spirit of the individual is determined by his dominating thought habits.

Every man is what he is, because of the DOMINATING THOUGHTS which he permits to occupy his mind.

If, in fact, it is what's inside us that makes all the difference, then the difference is made when we choose what goes inside.

You become what you believe. You are where you are today in your life based on everything you have believed.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Undoubtedly we become what we envisage.

Attitude precedes service. Your positive mental attitude is the basis for the way you act and react to people. 'You become what you think about' is the foundation of your actions and reactions. What are your thoughts? Positive all the time? How are you guiding them?

Attitude is a choice. What you think you can do, whether positive or negative, confident or scared, will most likely happen.

Whatever results you're getting, be they rich or poor, good or bad, positive or negative, always remember that your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world. If things aren't going well in your outer life, it's because things aren't going well in your inner life. It's that simple.

A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.

A state of mind is something that one assumes. It cannot be purchased, it must be created.

Your thinking, more than anything else, shapes the way you live. It's really true that if you change your thinking, you can change your life.
