This quote resonates with my life experiences. Does it resonate with you too?
Sojourner Truth was an advocate for civil
and women’s rights in the 19th century. She was a former slave who acted in accordance with her beliefs.
She believed that our
perception and focus influence how others see our bodies. Truth suggested that if
someone constantly fears they will get cancer, this strong belief might
contribute to that outcome.
A secure upbringing in a loving family
can positively affect one's demeanor. Nevertheless, sometimes we can tell if
someone has faced challenges just by looking at them. I've seen people who have
endured hardships but appear content, while others from loving, affluent
backgrounds show signs of distress.
Sojourner Truth spoke with timeless wisdom – read again: "It is the mind that makes the body.” It's never too late to adopt a positive attitude. By focusing on optimism and noticing the positives around us, we can reshape our mindset and develop an outlook that we are proud of and cherish.
I aim to be a positive person who laughs
and dreams vibrantly. My mother was an optimist, and while I lean more positive
than negative, there is room to grow. We have the power to choose optimism and
pursue contentment daily. I strive to adopt an attitude that shapes my journey.
I wish I could talk to my younger
self and
encourage her to take more chances
