you create your own reality

[apop]

"There do exist inquiring minds, which long for the truth (of the heart)seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves.
If a man have a goal, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him.

I believe our ACTIONS create our reality.  For instance, anyone can envision winning the lottery, but you have to actually BUY that lottery ticket to even have a chance at winning.

I also believe that Thoughts are Real, but to an extent.  (For example, I think that the mind can heal the body.  Our thoughts are a lot more powerful than we realize, I think).
