innie or an outie?
Here's your prompt for July 14:


Day 14: "Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." - William James -




To be or not to be? Cause and Effect. Chicken or the Egg. IHOP or Dennys. Ooops, sorry that was this morning's debate.

I believe this William guy has something here. I mean if you want to get technical, it can go back to psychology's self-fulfilling prophecy. We become what we expect or what other expect us to be. The mind is a powerful tool.

But then again, it just seems like common sense to me. If my inner attitude becomes more positive and perhaps even nicer, why wouldn't i have say - more people who want to be around me? If inside I become more motivated, why wouldn't I maybe excel more in school or work?

Some may call it karma. And trust me, I am a big believer of karma, but the quote though in one way seems deep - in another way is obvious. But then again, so often we are looking for the deeper meaning in something, we miss the true message.

Peace, no-fighting today, serenity lol - i'm so full of it.

Sorry, I forgot a thought. Maybe it is the outer that effects the inner too. I mean if I have beauty, wouldn't I feel more confident. If I have teeth (I do, it's just and example - though a bad one) wouldn't I smile more.

Sigh - the ramblings of randomness have overtaken any intelligent thought again.
