137. When people tell you they have problems they are not talking about the real world (though that’s what they think). What they are talking about is their inner-world of thoughts. With their thoughts they have labeled what is going on in the real world as difficulties, hardships and problems. and, having so labeled them with their thinking, what they think, is now true, from them only. Whatever label you give to your experiences is your reality (this truth is evident when two people have the same experience but place different labels on them. One person calls his experiences adventures and opportunities and enjoys them while another person labels his experiences as troubles and problems, and is miserable. When you stop looking at your experiences and circumstances as problems and view them as adventures, your life will change instantly.

138. A plane carrying two guys crashes on a snow-topped hill. To their surprise they are alive ‘cause neither got too killed. One takes a broken wing and skis a most awesome drift. Two gets mad, not at all glad, enraged he falls off a cliff (perspective is everything).

139. Brother and sister going to visit their dying pop. Their car breaks down, makes a loud sound, comes to a grumbling stop. The car gets fixed and purring, but at hospital too late. Sister depressed, failed-heart is the guess, exits to the pearly gates (stress kills).

140. I relive my nightmares and regret my every fling. Dumb thing to do, just makes me blue, ‘cause it don’t change a thing. Yes life is a potpourri, mixture of pleasure and pain. Pity and regret double the stress, cause mind and body to strain (thoughts affect health).

141. I once had a lot of friends, family that loved me too. But I complain about my pain, they avoid me ’cause I do. I get upset and angry and irritable as well. Argue a lot, fight on the spot, my life is a living hell (thoughts and their actions affect relationships).

142. I used to be good looking, but I prematurely aged. These old age spots are awful thoughts, I think I am their slave. And now a final thought before I go away: life is real grand or a migraine head-slam, because I think it’s that way (perspective and attitude is everything).

143. A WILD VACATION SPOT: Imagine you live on a world where there is only harmony and peace, a world without risk, disease, injury and death, a world where everyone gets along, no vanity, conceit, pride or greed and no mean people. Imagine everything that you need is provided instantly, at a thought, and as a result you sometimes get bored, and so you pop-into The Universe Travel Agency. You see and read a poster: “DEATH WORLD. TO ESCAPE YOU HAVE TO DIE. THE EARTH ADVENTURE. IT’S HOSTILE AND VIOLENT. THE ULTIMATE PAIN AND PLEASURE EXPERIENCE (you need mental counseling to go). DISCLAIMER: You have to promise not to sue anyone when you get back.” Having read the sign, you sign-up and enter the Send Off Room and are told, “WELCOME TO EARTH–THE WILD WEST OF THE UNIVERSE. You are here. I hope you enjoy your adventure. And just because you paid to come here doesn’t mean you won’t pay dearly while here. Earth-life is tough. You shouldn’t have come if you’re a crybaby, but since you are here, get over it, because you’re stuck here until your dead, so you might as well have a good attitude about it.”
