Changing your circumstances

Changing Your Circumstances
“You change your own circumstances all the time, whether you know it
or not. Even your mind is different today than it was a week ago. The
various experiences you have brought to yourself have made it that
way. The point to realize is that you can gain an intricate control
of the various things that change in and about you. Lean the thoughts
and feelings of your creation in the right direction, and discover how
quickly your circumstances will change their direction. This is the
secret of self-control. This is the practice of yoga. Try it, and lose
the habit of concern, for concern is only a by-product of a part of the
mind being out of control. (…)”
– Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (Gurudeva)
