The concept of “what you think, you become”—that your mind holds the power to shape your reality—is a universal truth found in philosophical, spiritual and psychological teachings across cultures. As Buddha wisely stated , “All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.” Simply put, the mind gives rise to thoughts, thoughts give rise to actions, and actions define who you are and how you engage with the world.
