I agree with this. You can learn to control how things work rather than taking whatever life has to ever. Discipline is something that would give you an edge over everyone else.

It is correct to a great extent because we create the dimensions of our life on our own. Our experiences manifest themselves as stepping stones as we move along the journey of life. Thus, we create the world that we live in through our perspectives and experiences and our actions in turn shape our life.

Yes, indeed I do believe that our external realities heavily reflect and are influenced by our internal realities. To this effect the world outside is a mirror of all the things we believe.

It is true that the way we perceive the world defines the reality around us. Grow up with a negative mindset and you end up always seeing the negative in everything.

Yes, I agree. I think therefore I am. Maybe if I think not then I am not what am. Same goes to the world which we reside in. If say, for me things work the way I understand, then for you it will not be the same. So it's all around you or ignoring you, as you want it to be. It's all in your mind.

No, I don't agree to it. There is something as physical world, and that is the world we all live in. We are all living in it. I think believing that the world is living in you that's branching in the world fantasy than living to physical world, which can be dangerous as the lines can be blurred.

The quote is inspiring and very relatable. I agree with Rob. I believe we can do anything we choose to once we understand life principles

Scott wrote: 26 May 2022, 12:52 I highlighted this text from page 9 of The Maestro Monologuee by Rob White as something with I wholeheartedly agree:
Rob White wrote:You don't live "in the world," but rather you've created a world that lives in you, and what you understand about your world is always congruent with what you understand about yourself.

It can be no other way--your world is a mirror! It continually validates your opinions about yourself by reflecting back to you what you are projecting outwardly.
Do you also agree? If not, why not?
I definitely will be musing over this quote. It's very insightful and powerful. It totally gives me a whole new perspective on life. I agree too. So many points can be drawn just from this alone.

I think this line portrays some of us very well, yet some may feel this is just some random thing they don't relate to, but I think it's partially right and partially wrong. We do create the world we live in but sometimes we got to get outside and enter into someone else's world to have a different perspective in life.

I agree with this. No two people have the same view of the world, so our perspective of the world is truly a reflection of our personas. However, that view can also be shaped by external people closest to us.

Yes I agree. I think that once you stop underestimating your worth , you truly begin to shine. I want to make this line my mantra . Self doubt kills you more times than any embarrassment can.

I agree with Rob's word because it is reality. We live in the world that we create for ourselves, and it implies that our outcomes are dependent on the choices we make. If we make good choices, it creates a world where we reap the benefits of our choices.

This is very true. One of my mentor would say, "cut your coat according to the size you want it to be and fit into it." You have the ability to create the kind of life you desire.

The world we live in is the effect of everyone, of our thoughts and actions, yet we individually have subjective worlds of our own construct, in our heads. The world we create by our thought determine our behaviour and the people we accept into our lives. Thus, there are infinite number of worlds that can be created and which we can live in. Still, there's only one objective world, and our collective presence gives it life.

Our different world tells how we see life differently. And the point to live happy life is to trully be aware of our world and let our outer world respect our choice. That is we live by our terms and respect other people's choices
