Day after day, bucket after bucket, month after month, I was gradually filling that hole in my heart.#2 Inner strengths are your supplies as you make your way down the twisting and often hard road of life. They include a positive mood, common sense, integrity, inner peace, determination, and a warm heart.#3 Your mind is like a garden, and you can manage it in three primary ways: let be, let go, let in. The third one is cultivating inner strengths, which includes a positive mood, common sense, integrity, inner peace, determination, and a warm heart. I was going to write this book for three reasons. The first was to share what I have gleaned from more than six decades of studying human nature and helping people improve their lives through psychology. I ve learned that your mind is the most powerful tool you have to create the life you want to live. It can be a tool for managing your life and relationships, as well as for improving your mood overall. The second reason was to help you understand how your mind works so that you can better understand yourself. Understanding your mind will help you manage it better. -> Your mind is the most powerful tool you have to create the life you want to live.#4 Your mind is a powerful tool that you can use to create the life you want. It can be used to manage your life and relationships, as well as to improve your mood.
