Our life; Our thoughts

Our life; Our thoughts
If you have ever thought exciting or horrible thoughts, has your emotions turned into something completely different? Feelings and such can most likely turn into something much more complex. A quote “Our life is what our thoughts make it” reminded me of this that your emotions can control you in a way that you like, or dislike.
Certainly everyone has thoughts that either lead to great and joyful surprises or to horrible situations. Let’s just hope everyone can be pleased by their thoughts and make sure they act respectfully and favorably. Sadly, that rarely happens. Everywhere in the world there are disasters going on, that you mostly can’t prevent to stop. Even though you may not think bad thoughts, you can still be lead to do insane ideas from family or friends.
People do become different from when you first met them, either from just simply looking different, or acting different. If one of your friends becomes upset for some weird reason, then you might want to try and help. So therefore if you help, they might become pleased and then have pleasant thoughts. Even though someone acts like their happy and joyful, that may not be true. Everyone might want to check up on their friends and see how everything’s going in there life. If you don’t, that friend might be depressed or sad and will be thinking horrible thoughts.
Whenever you are upset, just think of your happy times in life. That’s what I do. I bet that’s what many people do to calm their nerves. I also try acting cheerful, to cover myself from being upset. Many people believe that I am always a cheerful girl, which truly when I come home to my house, I am that gloomy and miserable girl, because I think bad thoughts about myself and my life. I shouldn’t do that, and neither should anyone else in the world.
I have heard of a saying that is actually very popular. This saying is from Marcus Aurelius and he came up with the quote “Our life is what our thoughts make it.” This quote means that if you think horrible thoughts, your future might turn into a disaster. Then if you think joyful and helpful images, you will hopefully turn into a wonderful person. That saying may seem extremely silly to believe, but it is very true. Another quote similar to Marcus Aurelius’s quote is “Control your emotions or they will control you.” You always have to control your emotions, or you will scream and shout at people when upset, but if you’re cheerful then you can help spread your emotion.
Everyone should be happy at times, but sadly that never happens. All around you there are upset and depressed people, even if they try and hide it. It would be a helpful and pleasant world if everyone also thought good thoughts instead of bad. You might think awful thoughts, which might lead to a terrible future if you do something wrong. Therefore everyone hopefully will grow up to become wonderful and caring citizens.
