Amanda Pearcy wrote: 02 Jun 2022, 14:28 This quote is insightful and really brings together what the book is about. We make our own worlds based on our viewpoints, beliefs, and perspectives. How we view our world is how we live in that world. If we view that world as judgemental, we take steps to protect ourselves such as by staying quiet and not expressing our thoughts and feelings or avoiding people and conflict at all costs.
How we view the world will even fit a range of success in life. That has been the very secret just has catapulted me to where I am today.

Although I don't agree totally with this quotes due to several other things that are factors that govern our world or affect our existence as humans. But, going by the theme of this book I agree with the quote.

We are the products of the things we put into our lives, so I wholeheartedly concur with this quote. Nothing worthwhile happens by chance; it takes time to develop capacity.

Many people frequently discover themselves in a universe apart from our own. Some people are not really alive, just existing without anything to project outward, created by the world they find themselves in.

Naturally, I concur that we are accountable for our circumstances. Everything that occurs in our environment is a direct effect of the decisions we take. In our minds, we all reflect one another. In other words, rather of living in the world, you actually make it.

The World we create is essentially our perception and bias. Changing that is powerful yes, but our world is not entirely the one we live in. The actual world influences us too, not to mention has its own set perceptions, rules, and standards. It would be more accurate to say that we live in an intersection of these worlds, which automatically makes each person's world unique.

I quite agree with the quote. Because the world mirrors back to us our thoughts. And our thoughts create our world. The future is now as what we think now is what manifests in the future.

It is true that the image we have of our self is what is mirrored back to us. I totally agree with the saying and this is something i have been working on for my self. Seeing it iterated in the story is only a mark of conviction that our self image is who we become. it reminds me of the saying as a man thinketh so is he.

I see why this is the case. Every person is unique. Everyone of us has a unique role to play, outlook on life, and state of mind. According to Proverbs 23:7, a man is what he thinks. Someone else might have made different decisions if they had lived my precise life. This is the world that I have crafted out of my anxieties, passion, and other factors. So, I do believe this to be the case.
