About This Quote
We are what we think. This is a tricky statement to understand, but it is a great one. People tend to think about themselves in very different ways. For instance, if you have a friend who is always complaining, you will probably try to convince them that they don’t have to be so negative.
But what if the same person was the owner of a popular pizza restaurant? In this case, you would probably be more likely to tell them that they need to stop being so negative and try to find a way to make their business better. By going on with your life and not letting yourself be bogged down by negativity, you will become a better person.
