About This Quote

The three things that make up who you are as an individual are thoughts, feelings, and actions. If you manage to change any one of these three aspects of yourself, the other two will follow. If you have a positive mindset, then your thoughts will automatically be positive. If you have negative thoughts, then your actions will reflect that negativity.

Much of what is in our heads affects how we feel about ourselves. When we feel good about ourselves, we are more likely to do good things for others. When we feel bad about ourselves, we are more likely to do bad things for others.
