The Light at the End of the Tunnel is a Sign Saying “Turn Back Now.”

A few years ago somebody told me that thoughts manifest reality. 

It sounded ridiculous then

The idea that, for some unknown reason, if you think happy thoughts, the Universe will hand you happy things on a shining silver platter. 

Maybe it was my own cynical self-deprecation that had me in disbelief, or maybe I just didn't want to believe that I wasn't as in control as I thought I was. 

But after some extensive therapy, a dose of happy meds, and a swift kick in the ass by life itself, I finally understand.

It isn't the Universe making these things happen. 

No external force reading your mind and going "oh, they're being optimistic today, time to give them a winning scratch-off."

It's all, in the end, psychology. 

If you, the human being in the room, think with a positive frame of mind, a mental attitude that doesn't drain you completely of all will to carry on, then good things will actually happen.

The reason is this:

The more positive your outlook on life, the fewer negative things you'll see.

By eliminating the shit from your perception, you will gravitate towards the good.

So that maybe, just maybe, you'll wake up one morning and not regret doing so anymore.
