This was a wonderful video, with examples that everyone should keep in mind. We give power to every situation, why not let it be a positive one! Like you have said:
When we think about our lives and the situations we are in...we are literally enduring situations that we believe are real. We give them the ability to be real. We give substance to the substance.
Captains of our own ship? Or the many analogies that have been used to explain this mindset... I also believe strongly that we must also remember the reason for all this inter-play of substance and non-substance... God, The Great Spirit... I know many feel different ways, and that is ok! But I believe there is a God, and these actions to provide substance should always be of a positive nature. Negativity breeds negativity... I refuse to give power to such notions, and can hope by my actions, I am further showing that Positive can be obtained... anyway... better get back to work on that interview!!
