The choice is ours ...

In the Introduction to "Wisdom for Life: Three Principles for Well-being" Elsie Spittle writes about the Three Principles discovered by Sydney Banks:

• The principle of Mind is universal creative energy. Consciousness is the ability to be aware of this power and to understand how experience is created. Thought is the capacity to draw on this energy in order to create our experience of reality. We can use this power to create a vast spectrum of experiences, from joy to depression, from contentment to discontent, and from faith to fear. The choice is ours and does not depend on external circumstances." (2005, p.11)
