A MEANING-MAKING MACHINE
Your mind is a MEANING-MAKING MACHINE. Without even trying, you “know” what things mean, at least most of the time. When someone treats you rudely, your mind interprets that. It makes some meaning out of it. And it’s completely automatic. That is, you don’t stop and think about it. You don’t try to make an interpretation. It happens without any effort on your part.
       The meanings you make affect the way you feel and determine how you interact with people and circumstances. The interpretations you make about the events in your life have a significant influence on the amount of stress you experience in your day.
       …The good news is: You’re not stuck with the interpretations your mind makes automatically. You can come up with new ones. The possible ways to interpret (any situation)…are virtually unlimited.  ~ Adam Khan - ”Self-Help Stuff That Works”
Change the meaning of an experience and experience changes.
