About This Quote

Consciousness is a mystery that faces the mystery of potential and transforms it into actuality. We do that with every choice we make. Our choices determine the destiny of the world. By making a choice, you alter the structure of reality.

All our choices are based on what we think is true, what we think is right, and what we want. But these are only our thoughts, not reality itself. When you change your thoughts, you change your world.
