"The way you talk about yourself and your life-your story-has a great deal to do with what shows up in your day-to-day experience. Your thoughts create filters through which you view your life.

That's why the orientation you adopt is so important: it exerts a powerful influence on your life direction."

-- David Emerald Womeldorff
